Just downloaded about a hundred more songs from VulpVibe. XD This guy, Mr. Renard (Queenston?) is beginning to dominate a large part of my music library.

Today was another good day. (except the part where I got embarrassed in Korean Speaking class. I was talking to the people next to me in class, and the teacher called me out: "Zac, why are you talking so much?" I normally don't talk much in that class). I payed decent attention in Physics, but will still need to study on my own before the test. I finished my statics homework without help from Cramster, and got the answer to the difficult problem right, but messed up on the easy one... or something like that. It was the last homework for that class, and this Friday is the final exam.

I think I should rephrase "on a higher level than me socially". I was thinking about a better way to say that today, but I couldn't think of any really good ones. I don't want to say "look up to" or even "respect". Just, "is really funny, seems agreeable to everyone" or something like that, MAYBE even "wish I was that witty" or something.... idk, those don't seem to cut it either. I'll come back to this on another blog if I think of something. In a way, I want to avoid implying the existence of a social hierarchy, because that seems so "high school" and... don't we think of ourselves as more mature than that now? But in another way, I'm sure that one still exists; just now it's more well hidden.

Ok, take for example, the show "The Office". It's funny because it's loosely based on reality, right? It exaggerates levels of social aptitude until they are obvious, and then it brings them into such typicality that we can separate characters' problems from ourselves and think "I can't believe he/she just did that." Sometimes things have to be exaggerated a little for us to see the difference. That's why I think this is a good example of modern inter-peer social hierarchy.

Anyway, analyzing humor like that makes me remind myself of my mother. I hope I don't make a habit of it..... She analyzes things that don't need to be analyzed, and draws conclusions that, while they are logical in a way, are often incomplete and easily proven false, and she argues with information that she invents/discovers as she goes. I don't want to do it that way when I'm older. When you analyze things which are as relative as humor, you really can't win. It's best to analyze things that are calculable.

This blog is getting long :/ I've been trying to bring things down to a good size. ... hmmm.... oh well. lol.

Tonight NK said she wants to hang out at around 11. I couldn't tell if she wants to watch a movie or have me correct an English assignment.... or both. Either way, it should be fun.

"Come back"
