I am unsure as to why I decided to take Astronomy as my natural science elective (it's mandatory to take at least one), but all I know is that I'm going to fail. Every lecture ends with me staring blankly at my workbook, wondering how the sweet fuck we figured out the angles stars rotate at.

I am horribly pathetic at math and I'm really regretting taking it. Why can't astronomy be fact based as opposed to logic-based? I can memorize the names of constellations, just don't make me calculate their paths!

Either than that, university is essentially a vast improvement over the absolute and total shittiness of my straitlaced all-girl's Catholic high school (ew). I love being in a religion free environment, although I do get all Christian, Jewish, and Muslim holidays off. Thank you, Rosh Hashanah.

I'm starting to get pretty excited for Halloween. My friends and I decided we're all going to go as female comic book villians, or female versions of male comic book villians (I'm sure someone will be a lady Joker. Oh, by the way, I hated The Dark Knight, but that's another story altogether, and every time I tell people this they seem to get offended that I feel this way. So let's not get into it ).

I'm going to be Poison Ivy, I've got the red hair (albeit faded, but I'll dye it again before Halloween!). I'm thinking of possibly being Poison Ivy for a Halloween party that weekend, then seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show at uni on actual Halloween and dressing up as Magenta. I'm determined to get totally into my first Rocky Horror viewing. Must find a list of appropriate things to yell at the screen at appropriate times.

I also got a new cell phone yesterday. It's the LG VX8700 Shine and it's basically the most gorgeous thing I've ever laid eyes on. I initially wanted the KRZR, but I was told that, although they were essentially the same kind of phone, the Shine was the better model, and newer, which gets me more mileage (I've got a 3 year plan, so I don't want an outdated piece of crap a year from now).

I keep staring at my cell phone with undisguised appreciation and love as it sits on my coffee table. I should probably stop doing that, as my family may find it creepy.
