Today semi sucked.
Woke up early for Bascara's office hours. I'd like to announce officially that Rolfe Hall is my least favorite [most despised] building. Although, Bascara's office is so quaint, and cute - tiny room surrounded by walls and stacks of books, window overlooking LA hills, unique decorations. I saw Amy Tan's Joy Luck Club on his shelf. Anyway, our meeting didn't go as well as i had thought. In a way that's expected, bc i came spilling to him about sth rather personal, w/out a purpose, or even a coherent thought process, for that matter. I could see confusion on his face bc i presented myself so unprofessionally, but he's so scholarly that he just kept talking. I find it funny as i sat there in his office, trying to maintain steady eye contact and interest. What was i thinking? I can't even listen to the guy talk in his lecture, &now i wanna be face-to-face w/ him? He showed me 2 books written by Vietnamese scholar women, one of whom is an actual professor on campus &he encouraged me to go to her. But dude didn't even let me borrow his books... I really didn't like that, it's quite stingy. He asked for my email &said he'd email me the titles and an excerpt article or sth, but i don't think i'll receive it anytime soon. So, no extreme amazement like i had hoped, no coffee-meet scheduled, not even enthusiastic reply.
Then i went to ARTHIS discussion &discovered i got a 7/10 on the first [easy] hw. Describe the bust of Nefertiti. How great. The TA even used my grade as an example to encourage ppl not to freak out, "If you got a 7/10, don't think omg you're failing." I wasn't thinking that, but now that you mention it... >< I don't like this class.
Went back to Rolfe for Chris Woon's office hour [geez i hate that building] Again, cute office, nothing good happened. I actually checked him out online, &he's really cool - DJ, movie director/manager, skater, awesome photographer, the whole shebang; AND he likes to venture to find solitude :o But i feel like reading my essay is just not his expertise. I could see he really tried to go over it, but w/ difficulty. He pulled out the prompt &constantly read from it to reiterate, but meh. At the end, he asked me, w/ almost a pleading tone, if he had helped me, &i said yes. i am really impressed w/ his character, though.
Oh &i went to a meditation / yoga exercise group meet / lecture / thing. It was kinda weird, especially when the guy taught us some sort of 'yoga dance', &then lectured us on the theory of the universe, which sounded like religion to me, but he said it's fundamental for all beliefs, we just don't realize it [wth?]
I tried a marzipan today, w/ a super hot cup of coff. the whole thing was surprisingly good.
