Ranting Alphabetically

Annoyances
Not giving former students access to old syllabi of classes they've already taken is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Thank goodness my school doesn't do that whole "We need to be contacted by the department in order to send it to you." What nonsense! Granted it may be student's fault for not keeping a copy of their old work, but it's not like a syllabus is some kind of super classified piece of information!! Thanks for making my job that much more difficult university I choose not to name. Not to mention trying to find out who to contact to obtain said syllabus is like looking of Osama...you think it'd be easy but NOOOOOO on said University's website, but it's not! Thank you!!! It's not bad enough that I decided that while walking to work I need to bathe in my coffee....no no, now I have to navigate through your shittastic website AND try to find the Holy Grail...all whilst looking at the pope!!! Thanks!! At least I managed to get a cute ass birthday present at the last minute today and I got to eat cake!!

Boasting
Colbert Live is AMAZING!!! I didn't really think it would be all that great, I was a lil worried that my whole view of the show would change and that he'd just be a complete asshole in real life, but he's not. Aside from waiting in line for what felt like eternity and a day and being searched more thoroughly than going through the gate at JFK, it was actually pretty awesome. Though I must admit, some fans terrify me. They know entirely TOO much about the show. I get it you like it, so do I, but what's the reason behind needing to know EVERYTHING about it. And when I mean everything, I mean even things about the Audience Manager's life!! Does that make you a bigger fan or do you have something to prove? I don't know...creeps me out and makes me glad I'm not famous. But if I ever become famous, I'll delete this blog in an instant and ask Google to get rid of any traces of post-famous Leni from the internet. I guess I'd have to call up Internet Archive and ask them to get rid of it too. I'd be terrified if complete strangers were able to come up with so much trivia about. Maybe I should get rid of this blog..... Back to the show, it was incredible!! They want you to like laugh extra and clap louder...but you really don't have to laugh extra because it was hilarious!! Maria even caught a wriststrong bracelet (the one he was wearing!) And gave it to moi! Picture to follow soon!!

Greek
I feel a lil off and usually when I do, I listen to Greek music or read Greek. There's just something about the melody of the language that cheers me up. When I feel really sick, sometimes I'll just mouth Greek...the movement of my lips and tongue when making the sounds sort of soothes me. I also feel that it's a language where you can actually express yourself completely. There is a word for everything, you can capture the exact feeling, the exact thought, you're never really off. I don't get the same feeling from English. I feel that in English I'm always struggling for words. There's never really a word that captures what I'm trying to say and even though my Greek isn't perfect, I know in that language the perfect word exists out there. Lately though my Greek is fading, not having my parents around and not having Greek TV or Greek music as a constant in my house is making it dwindle away. I bought the paper this weekend in attempts to bring it back....I wonder how long it'll take me to get through one article! I also have that book that I bought how long ago and never finished?! But I should sit down and attempt to get through it, try to write in it...do something. I really don't want it to vanish....I think knowing Greek is such an important part in being Greek.

Lunch
Is always entirely too short! And with that I'm done with this rather boring post for the day!!
