This is pointless rant about the people I have to work with.

So I know a lower clansman from my academic group, and we're in the same class.  We might have gotten off on the wrong foot.  He said he wanted to study with someone because the class was hard.  I said sure I'll study with you.  I'm not a morning person, I prefer to meet in the evenings.  Then he says OK let's meet at 12:30, I have to eat lunch so I'll meet you at 12:30.  I'm like 0_0 ok fine.  Anyways, I arrive 30 mins late because I was caught up in other stuff.  He calls my cell and says he's been waiting for an hour.  I don't understand why he can't self study while I'm not there.  I apologize, I get there and he says he has to go back to his apt for something.  I also remembered that the rent was due that day and I haven't paid it, so I leave to drop the money off.  We finally meet an hr after the set time.  We studied for about 2 hours.  I said I had to go print something and I'll be back later.  He left after 10 mins, he leaves without calling.  He ignored my call and voice mail when I got back and saw that he wasn't there.  I guess he was annoyed.

Problem is I still have to work with him in our group project for that class.  One our team members made a google doc to make it easier for us to work with.  I called his cell to tell him to check his email and what else he needed to do before we met up for class.  I finished explaining it to him in under a minute.  Then he says Lewis I'm in a club meeting.  I'm not the team leader.  Just do whatever you want.

Anyway, I responsibly took charge of the group.  I don't really have a problem with being the team leader, but I do have a problem with your attitude.

frowny face.

The first part of this post is about my beginning Drawing Class I'm taking, the second part is blurb about a graduate student I live with who's in Engineering and Theoretical Mathematics.  

I work with charcoal and pencils.  Everything is done in black and white, we learn about shading, tones, and how the light makes shadows.  I practice still life drawings, and Ihave to do a self portrait homework every week.  A trick I learned is you will see the drawing differently when you squint.  By squinting, you'll notice tones and shades better and which parts of the drawing stand out more.  Then you can make changes you want by increasing or decreasing the tones to make a part stand out more or less.

Now onto my housemate, he normally talks down to everyone in the apartment like they're 12, and he was butthurt because I didn't want to play League of Legends with him.  I checked it out and I decided I rather spend my time elsewhere, so stop asking me to play with you, ok? His righteous engineer persona kicked in and he was like, "biology classes are so easy it is a joke, you can't be that busy."  Yeah, I am busy.  Deal with it. I don't think he even knows what coursework a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology entails.  "Come on, science classes are easy, anyone can take them.  Now my math classes are hard."  What kind of logic is that? My advanced theoretical math is so hard everything else in comparison should be easy.  I don't know how engineers roll, but if you make an outrageous statement like that to a scientist then you'd better have the huevos to back up your claim.  So I was like, "why don't you take all my upper division classes and then tell me it's easy."  He said "oh please.  really? Let's not go there."  Yeah.  Why not? Let's fucking go there.  

For someone who sleeps more than 12 hours a day, he is the crankiest person I know.  He goes to sleep at 10pm sharp every night (slams the door to his room because he's annoyed that everyone else is still awake) and then rolls out of bed around 11 noon the next day. He plays LoL for 4 hours a day.  Is he even working on his dissertation? He needs to get his head out of Theoretical La La Land and learn how to interact with people in real life.

I'm tired of fake laughing at your jokes, you're not funny.  

And stop dragging me to hang out with you against my will because you are lonely.  I don't want to go shopping for things I don't need.  I don't want to go eating with you because my diet does not consist mainly of cheese burgers, pizza and deep fried junk buried in cheese.  

No one likes you.

So the guys at my apartment have been pressuring me to play League of Legends with them.  I just don't have that kind of time.  You have to play in teams, and I prefer to play games on my own time when I want to.  And I'd never get around to submitting more artwork or responding to the Deviation ThumbShare thread if I started playing LoL.  It's a clickfest and so much grinding.  It doesn't matter how much they shun me, I'm not going to play it.

My drawing class is quite fun, my skills would definitely improve by the end of the quarter.  The drawing instructor is so different from the science professors I'm used to.  There's 25 girls and 3 guys, myself included, in that class.  ...yays lol.

I'm also scrambling to get ready for graduation and grad school applications... and what else to do with my life.  lol fun times.
