Our prof is eloquently enlightening us to the fact that we have been butchering the spanish language for the past 8 years. Awesome.
Faint Music: Piano Man
15 minutes. Students behind whisper about the strange music coming from...? The window? Curious. They ignore it and continue to soak in the knowledge.
20 minutes...Giggling from the back. It's getting louder. Is that...Dylan?
I'm looking out the window, chuckling as well to the now not so faint music that's adding an interesting twist to this Friday's class.
Good taste, I think.
The prof stops. Asks us in his british accent what's so funny. Someone explains about the musac coming from...the window? An ipod? Does anyone have an Ipod?
Me: (thinking outloud). I have an ipod. Is it mine? Eh, let me...check. er... yep, sorry guys! It's mine...errrr. Awkwardddd. These two chuckle.
Prof: It appears they didn't take to your taste in music.

Making Some Changes
During freshman and sophomore year, it feels like you're going to be in college forever; that you'll have all the time in the world to explore classes, majors, departments, and really find what's right for you. Then all of a sudden you're a junior, and you're constantly getting messages that you're steps away from graduation; that you should already clearly know what you want by now.
I was doing my best to just follow the path that lay ahead of me, and force my way to graduation, without really being happy with what I was studying, or really having a concrete reason as to WHY. I had lost sight of what I'm naturally good at, what I have naturally gravitated to throughout my whole life, and I was forcing myself into a career path that isn't what is best for me.
I still have a lot of unanswered questions, but I've taken some time to think about what things REALLY make me happy, and...well... I'm doing those things.
One thing I do know: this will be my last econ class. Ever.
That feels good.

Squeaky Clean
I need to invite this kid over for mac and cheese more often. My kitchen is squeaky clean.

The Grey Area
-I really like smoking. Can I smoke even when I'm praying?
-Of course not.
-I really like praying. Can I pray even while I'm smoking?
-Why of course my son.
This amongst other scenarios articulated by Mahmoud El Gamel at an Islamic Banking seminar has been tossed around in my mind in the past few days.
