first off, i’m with josh, financial aid is ridiculous. they told me last week i couldn’t have any of the student loan money that i borrowed, that went above what i owed them, until the end of the semester. so my loans that should be partially covering grocery expenses that i don’t have time to work to pay for, are stuck in usc’s pocket until december. ripoff!

if only i could get a pizza for four american dollars. and your apartment’s way bigger? you suck.

speaking of big apartments, i hung out with my rad buddy spencer (yes, i said the word rad) today, and we went to his new apartment. oh my lord. he lives with four other guys in a five-bedroom, four-bathroom, hardwood-floored, high-ceilinged, fifth-floor rock-ass apartment that makes me entirely envious, and ashamed of our tiny crappy university-owned place here. and i don’t think this place is that bad, really, it’s just compared to spencer’s place that it seems like a hole. so hopefully i can hang out with him there a lot and feel like a real grownup in a real apartment in the mid-wilshire area instead of two blocks from campus. plus, spencer and his roommates are the coolest guys i know outside of my roommates (and dominic), because they’re so smart and funny. they’re the sort of people i wish i knew more of.

and they have a pool table AND a ping pong table! (sigh…)

classes are…well, classes. visual culture and literacy looks like it’s gonna be a little on the strict side; that professor was all about business. she wasn’t messing around. marketing seems like it’ll be okay, but not great. my hope is that since my classes aren’t going to be very interesting, at least they won’t be hard. that’s about the best i could do at this point, which isn’t very cool, but neither is being a business major. brian, you’re just too practical, you would have made such a good english major, or something like that.

but then how’d i get the fat cash for all the fly honeys?
