like the rain under a desert sky
stars on a summer night
like the dream after a lullaby

Class, Books
Socialogy was pretty cool today. Started off with a lecture on gay and lesbian courtship. Then moved onto socialogical research on love. Apparently even though we watch sappy / chick flick type movies, love is not random because everyone has their pool of eligibles. Basically out of 6 billion people on this planet, < 1 million people are those who can actually be considered "potentials." A nice littel fyi, I suppose. Sometime in that period we learned that there would be no class on Thursdy, yay. I guess I'll use that day to do some work or something. After class I picked up Will and we went to Grey Wolf Books in San Leandro. Ghetto. That place is literally a shack (well, 3 shacks put together). Big plastic bins with books out front greeted us on our way in. As soon as we went indoors, we were bombarded with loads of loads of books on homemade shelves. There are hecka books there, sorted by genre and theme, I suppose. Other than that you're on your own as for looking for certain things. It's pretty dirty in there, with plastic baskets (that you see grocery stores store milk with in the back) to use as steps and spider webs over the walls and books on the bottom shelves. We made a few laps, but I eventually got At First Glance, my romance novel for my socialogy class. Apparently the female protagonist name is Gay. I then got Animal Farm in paperback. What a janky book. The cover has a janky pig on it, nothing like the one on the hardcover version. Poor porker. I paid 75 cents and $4.95, respectively. If you go back a week later and buy the same book, they'd probably charge you a different price (if there's no price written in the book). Janky, but nontheless still cheap. They bagged my books in a brown paper bag. Yikes. The best thing they have to show for is their business card... it's nice looking.

A nice little definition from the socialogy class, according to the transtheoretical methord (whatever that is):
contemplation - the person is aware that change is desirable but is not commited to take action; focuses on why it is difficult to make the change

Something interesting the instructor said:
"In the last 13 years of teaching college, students have gone through many things. Death, pregancy, accidents, mostly anything bad that can happen has happened, but they get through it. The only thing that gives me shivers is when they come into my office and say "I'm in love." "
