So it's 2009 now, today's class was the first of my semester. Oof. But fun and lively and a good way to kick off the last stretch of meaningful academics. Gotta get graduated and all that, and I'm glad that I have a fun class as one of my few for that.
We went over the syllabus, which is a tedious but necessary formality, and then we did some good warm-ups. I was glad about that, I only had five minutes in the Blackbox alone before the class came in, so I didn't get to stretch properly. My mind was a bit muddled and sleepy and vacationy, so that helped me wake up and recognize the school that was upon me. Again. School again. Oof.
Pretty excited about the potentials for this class, especially Electra, and an excuse to read a Shakespeare I haven't yet (I suppose I should have, but I'm shameful). If today's exercises and Hip Hop/August Wilson indicate anything, the class as a whole should be pretty funky and really enjoyable and worth lots of learning points. In fact, I expect it to be all of those things. I expect to enjoy myself and learn a lot, which means I expect you, Kashi, to be a badass professor. And I, in turn, will be a badass student. So that's my challenge to you, Kashi: don't waste my time, and I won't waste yours. I know we'll have a good semester.
On a totally unrelated note, here is Elwood, the world's ugliest dog.

Elwood deserves a poem.
ReplyDeleteBefore the Elwood video came on, there was an ad where a whole bunch of housewives were extolling the virtues of Gain laundry detergent, and I thought, "These women aren't that ugly. And I certainly wouldn't call them dogs." Then the clip started playing and I felt stupid.
