form vs. function

i love being an english major. seriously. it is pretty fantastic. mainly because i get to read amazing books and that's my homework! but also because english professors are hilarious. for example: in my grammar 325 class, my professor actually says things like "it feels adverb-y to me" or "functionally, this is an adjective, but i just think it's more verbish." yeah. i crack up all day long in that class. most people probably wouldn't find this as funny as i do? but it's hilarious.

also, my job is amazing. the one that i do for free. i lovelove researching football for a job. it makes me seriously want to work at espn or maybe just keep this job forever. i can write for basketball season too, guys! just a heads up.

and here are some things i think you should do right now:
-download the new joshua radin cd. i have been listening to it on repeat since i bought it on 8 september. amaaazing. only, don't buy the album version of "sky." instead, buy the single featuring ingrid michaelson, because it is 400% better.
-buy me a plane ticket to go to oregon for thanksgiving. they are too much money and it is seriously bumming me out. i may or may not have a credit with delta. but calling those people is absolutely the last thing i want to do. so, another thing you could do? call delta and book my flight :) with that credit. thanks.
-tell me how to not dwell on things. i like to meet people who don't care about things the way i do. so if you're one of those people, let's hang out. i need some tips, because my own ideas don't seem to be working.

i am really excited for a new season of the office. and for the football game today. go cougs. and for LONG BEACH. yes.
