much randomness

Things I am excited about:

I have tickets for Modest Mouse/The Killers/The Arcade Fire in October! What a kickass lineup! I wish the venue was smaller (they're playing the shoreline) but it'll totally be worth it.

I'm working at the infoshop today and a guy came in and donated an iBook! So awesome.

I signed up for my classes last week. What I'm taking:

Urban Politics and Community Power - MW 10:10-11:50
Ethnicity and Nationalism - MW 12:20-2:00
Political Theory of Sexuality - TTh 12:20-2:00
Judicial Power and Public Policy - TTh 2:10-3:50

I've taken classes from both of my Tuesday/Thursday professors before, so that should be a really good day.

Which leads me to a question, those of you who have applied to grad schools: would it be better for me to get a letter of recommendation from a professor who knows me pretty well but whose class I only got a B+ in, or should I go with a teacher who knows me less well but whose class I got an A in instead?

I'm taking 16 units this semester and when I'm done I'll only need 3.5 more units to graduate. In fact, I'm done with my Political Science major requirements this semester. I'm going to join the like, 7 percent of all UC and CSU students to graduate in 4 years! Go me!

Things I am significantly more ambivalent about:

I have to apply for law schools this fall. More eek! Letters of recommendation! stress! school choices! money!

I'm signed up to take the LSAT on October 1st. I need to study! Eeek!

I burned my tongue on some french fries last night but didn't feel it due to the beer I'd been drinking only to wake up this morning with a burnt tongue and no idea why. Ugh.

Things which do not fit into those categories:

I've been watching a lot of Cash in the Attic lately and I've been struck with an overwhelming desire for Cash in the Attic slash. Alistair Appleton is totally adorable with his Big Scarves and his Bad Puns and his fey glances at Paul and Jonty. Alistair/Jonty all the way!
