None of us have breached our probation as of yet, but I did run into some other issues this week. On Thursday night WHRT held its weekly DJ meeting. The meetings are dull and nobody wants to be there. With this in mind I tried to make the meeting more interesting by adding my own soundtrack to the meeting. During roll call I decided to meow after every name. After I did it a few times others started to add more noises to the mix. The station already has not shown our show much respect and this added fuel to the fire. Well in short I was suspended from the show for a week. If someone is suspended for a week for something like that, the people in charge need to get off their high horse and get over themselves. What I did was not malicous or mean in any way.

Alcohol Probation Watch Days 7-9
Well lets just say today was weird. I found out via Conor Finnegan that my fifth grade English Language Arts teacher is a lesbian. That is just the beginning of the whole saga though. You see she got married the year after we finished fifth grade. She was married for seven years. Well, she got pregnant and then ditched her husband for her lesbian lover. So in essence she used this man to get pregnant because she can not get pregnant with her lesbian lover. So my fifth grade teacher pretty much took advantage of her husband and then kidnapped their kid. Can one kidnap their own kid?? This is pretty damn close. She now teaches at South Side High School and is keeping her job. Here is the kicker, she is the co-president of the gay-straight alliance along with her lover. You can't make this up.
In other news, I have developed a serious talent. I have an 8 can case of Spaghetti-O's. However, I lack a can opener. But do not fret. I get mine. I have become very skilled at opening the cans with a knife and a Qu'ran. I hold the knife on top of the can facing down. I take the Qu'ran in my other hand and slam it down onto the unsuspecting knife. You do this a few times making a square hole on top of the can, then you take the knife and pry open the top of the can so you can pour out the tasty little o's. So all you Qu'ran owners out there, your welcome.

9:24- I walk in, compared to other classes this one is pretty well attended. There are a handful of people here already.
9:28- It might be a bad thing but every time I come into any class the first thing I do is look at the clock. If a teacher does not show up within the first fifteen minutes of class you do not have to stay. Were 17 minutes away from freedom.
9:31- He has arrived. It sucks that class has to happen again today.
9:32- He announces this is our last class for the semester. We will have individual meetings from now on. That is great news.
9:38- We have an 1800 word essay due Thursday. That is not great news.
9:40- The kid one row ahead of me, and a seat to the right is playing chess. I will keep you updated on his game as we go along.
9:43- He is in a bit of trouble, he just lost his queen.
9:50- This class is unique compared to my others, everyone is usually up and paying attention. We ask questions and take notes.
9:51- Checkmate, game computer. Its all good though he just started over.
9:56- This professor is an odd character. He wrote a novel and always flaunts the fact that he is a "professional writer." However he always wears a vest to class. That assures me that I am a better human being than he is. A vest is a sign of weakness to me. It tells you that he is worried about being cold but he doesn't want to wear something that will make him too hot.
10:05- He just lost again. This class is very tough.
10:13- This kid loves computer chess, and God bless his little heart because he sucks.
10:18- The professor tried to get on to Google. He failed twice because he misspelled Google.
10:20- The amount of e-mails this school sends out is ridiculous. I am not a junior so I should not be getting an e-mail for juniors.
10:28- He is still on Google, he has not said a word in the past fifteen minutes. An awkward silence has blanketed this class with the exception of the sounds of fingers typing.
10:30- I want to use this time to ask the government to ban the "Saved by Zero" Toyota commercials. If I have to hear SAAAAAVVVVEEEDD BYYYY ZEEERROOOO one more time, I will start killing baby penguins or something until it stops.
10:33- The kid is still playing chess.
10:40- Class is ending and he just got up from the chair. We just spent 12 minutes waiting for our teacher to fail at trying to find something online. He failed and failed miserably.
10:45-Departure.

Alcohol Probation Watch Days 4-6
My first weekend on alcohol probation has been completed. Friday night nothing was really going on and the weather was not too nice. Saturday night I did not have to worry because I was off campus from 11 AM-3 AM Sunday. However there was a close call with two of the twelve apostles of alcohol probation. An unnamed resident had a bottle of an alcoholic beverage in an unnamed room and two unnamed probationaries were in there. One of them fleed and the other one was in bed and nothing came of the situation.
My roommate and I are currently IMing each other. We are 5 feet away from each other. So many people are guilty of this however. People text each other in the same room. Texting and IMing has made personal encounters so different. It is so easy to say something online but face to face is harder. Real, concrete, personal conversation is a dying art. It is sad but its the truth.
Here is a story from my past for all of you who read:
In November of 2003, a movie called Timeline came out. If you have heard of this movie, give yourself a pat on the back. It was a bad movie. To put it in perspective for you, it cost 80 million dollars to make and did not even gross 20 million while in theaters. It is a movie about scientists who time travel to the year 1357 in the midst of the Hundred Years War between France and England. The movie was so bad. Anyways, one day we had off for Christmas break my friends Dylan and Mike decided it would be a good idea to see this movie. There was one issue, it had just snowed. And when I say snowed, I mean there was a blizzard. Well we thought it would be a good idea to walk to the theatre because the roads were so dangerous. We trudged about a half-mile in a foot and a half of snow and 20 degree temperatures to see an awful movie. People tell stories to their grandkids about how they walked 3 miles in a blizzard to save someones life or to get to school because there was one school in the county back then. Well we walked in a blizzard to see a bad film starring the worst actor I can think of (paul walker-notice I did not capitalize his name because he sucks.) What a great experience.

Alcohol Probation Watch Day 3
Today was an interesting day. I had my Media Studies class that meets once a week for two hours and forty five minutes. So after that I came back to my room and took a nap. While I was slumbering, my roommate Brian was asked to show our dorm for a campus tour. He obliged. So a group of people came into our room and saw me asleep. Its a weird feeling knowing that people saw you when you were asleep and you have no idea. Like for all I know, they were dressed in banana hammocks and danced around in here.
Tonight was also movie night for our media studies class. We went to see the 7 PM showing of Changeling, the new Clint Eastwood film. To say the movie was great would be an understatement. To say what happened after the movie was good, would be a gross overstatement. It was not a well put together trip. There was no bus arranged for us. Prof. Miller asked who had cars on campus in our class (a freshman only class, with an exception a senior named Doug who snuck in). Since only Doug and Maile (a volleyball star from California had cars) Prof. Miller asked Doug to ask a friend of his to drive. We had four drivers for about 19 people. When we arrived at the designated pick up spot 5 people did not show. So Dougs friend did not have to drive. He came anyways. But I digress..So the movie ends and we are all getting ready to leave when Maile realizes her car won't start. A student named Henry, Doug, and myself tried to get a car with two women to pull over to see if they had jumper cables. We approached the car and they did not roll their window down, they waved and sped off. We all were pretty shocked. Then our Professor left. Soon it was just Maile, Rob, Tom, Henry, and Myself. It was an interesting experience. But we got home safe and sound and we were good friends to Maile. And the 12 of us who were written up have made it to day 4.
I hope to liveblog Religous Studies again tomorrow.
