Obama Said Knock You Outtt

i know i mentioned joy division last post, but i am absolutely in love with them, particularly ian curtis. Just watch this video, and listen to his voice and look at him. Just by looking you see that he is drugged or drunk and he doesn't look well. And it shows, as not long after this, he hung himself in his kitchen...sooo sad. I now have every jd album, and i have never heard a bad song from them. And to tell you the truth it fascinates me despite my love for interpol, how much they completely ripped off jd. And how other bands like bloc party and the arcade fire got the base for their sound. Amazing. Really.
sorry for not posting for awhile. To tell you the truth i didn't even realize i haven't posted until i got a few emails asking where i was. No, sadly i wasn't on vacation, just very busy with everything. It has been a crazyyy week, in both a good way and a bad way...
okay so first...my sister got engaged! That's exciting..he proposed to her at angel stadium exactly a week ago. Very cute. So that's cool, and then father's day was nice where i practically made the entire meal....i am seriously obsessed with cooking, i made dinner 3 times this week, i love it. I must say, i'm good too!
And then after father's day was my sister's birthday, which was also a sort of celebration for the engagement...which was also marked with a trip to glen ivy and a start of a beautiful summer tan haha. but then fear struck...
so the whole deal with my changing schools was done, as long as i completed a college math course. Now i never did a college math class my first year at cpp because i couldn't get one really, but since i didn't take one, i was supposed to take a placement test to place into a math class which would suck. But my advisor told me if i didn't want to take a remedial class, then all i had to do was take math at a jc, because i wouldn't have to take remedial. So i took his word for it, but when i was trying to register for stats at rcc, i was told i had to take the placement test (which i knew i would bomb bc i haven't taken math in 3 years) So i thought i was screwed. i mean i could try to place into college math but if i couldn't then i would have to take remedial in summer and not take college math till fall, meaning i couldn't transfer.
so as i was depressed all week thinking i wouldn't be going, i figured i would take the test, and i did which i didn't bomb, as i placed into college math (who knew i would remember all of that ish) but not the level of math i need. So i still wouldn't be able to transfer....so then in my despair i was left with one choice, find a school that didn't have the requirement. So after searching, i was left with one choice, my sister's school university of phoenix. I contacted the school and i found out that they are offering a class that i can take that would end at the perfect time. So maybe i do have hope?? They are offering a class that is exact to the one i need. So i called my "future" school today, and unfortunately all counselors were out of the office, but first thing monday i will know if this class is acceptable for transfer, and if it is...YAY!!
so i was going to talk about something else, but i forgot, so i'll just go to the music. i have two yyy songs on the word of them in the studio recording their new album! The first is a cover of "diamond sea" a song by the greatest indie band of all time, sonic youth. (i don't think i've posted this song before, but let me know if i have) and the other is a cover of the fabulous yyy song "maps" but done by the arcade fire. Enjoy, wish me luck, and get a nice tan in this heat.
