elanya at 02:19pm on 17/02/2005This morning I forgot to go to a meeting where some big important guy from the Maritime (Museum?) at Mystic Seaport (what a great place name!) came to give a presentation. Whhops. it was weinding up just as I arrived for class. There were doughnuts, and I ate too many, because I'd missed breakfast. I miss breakfast because I was trying not to buy perfume. I am a sad sad person.
After my class, we had an MSA meeting... that's the grad student association, but no one knows if it stands for Maritime Studies Association or Maritime Students Association. Not even the president. So it is just MSA. It was... interesting. Apparently there are some kind of rumours going around the dapartment besmirching the character of a student, and a faculty member, or maybe both...? They were bad enough that when the got to the head of the history depat=rtment, he felt he had to come to the meeting. So, we all got yellled at for gossiping. of course, 90% of the people I talked to after the meeting had even half a clue what it was about... I am not sure if it was just something that involved the second year class, or if it was the faculty gossip getting out of control. I am not really interested in the rumour so much as the process of dissemination. I try to stay out of the actual gossiping that goes on, and kep my head down and my mouth shut... Of course, it is hard sometimes, when I know who-said-what-about-who because I was there, not to contribute. I am thinking of a specific instance in this case, but, it would be irrelevant to anyone who actually reads this :p What really annoys me is to see people being hypocrites. If you are going to bitch at some people for acing like grade nine girls, then you'd damn well better not be doing it yourself. And my respect for people slips another notch...
I'm glad I pride myself on being easy going and on my ability to work with people fine when I have to, despite my personal opinions of them. :p Meh.
Well, that was maybe a little more ranty than I'd intended. Really, I am just killing time. I went to lunch with some people in my program that I hadn't seen in a while. It was alright. The food was crappy, the conversation mostly irrelevant to me - talking about the underwater fieldschool and so on. *shrug* It was nice to see people. Maybe there will be some going out tonight, but I don't know where or when, so, again... *shrug*.
I have about an hour or so before my next class, and I'm not sure how it will be mopst productively spent. I have readings I could do, but I don't know where I'd do them. The library, I guess... it is between here and there.
I'm just feeling really apathetic lately, about stuff, and I should't. Although I guess I am still getting stuff done, to an extent, so that is acceptable. Again, though.... meh.
Oh, I know what I can do. I can work on my next assignment for Archaeology. Maybe.
