The Lazy Gnome...

I love the first day of school because there is no penalty for showing up a little late, you don't have to lug any heavy books or spirals around yet, there is no homework, you get to buy new school supplies, AND you get to see what kind of people are in your classes. SMU is stereotyped for having very attractive-looking students, but (unfortunately) none of those people ever seem to end up in any of my classes. In the past I have gotten stuck in classes with some pretty nerdy, not-so-cute looking people. You'd think this would be good because there would be fewer distractions and the nerds could help you study in exchange for getting to associate themselves with you...but this is never the case. Nerds are competitive bastards! They do not want to help you. They want to intimidate you with their intellect, make you look stupid, and watch you fail. So, I was relieved to see that most of my classes are packed to the brim with the sorority and fraternity crowd (who I had plenty of time to study during rush). I know what their intentions are. They simply want to attend as few classes as possible and still pass the class...and maybe get a date or two in the process. They are no threat to me socially or intellectually. I like the color pink damnit! I have a good feeling about this semester.
