The Ramblings of Elyse

Today, I'm coming at you from my lecture.

That's right, Introduction to Popular Culture.

I think that's the name of the subject. I'm clearly paying a lot of attention since I am now writing a blog.
Go team.

Well, we are currently doing hip hop and rap. I really hate Hip Hop and rap.
Right now we are doing the watching of YouTube videos of the international hip hop scene.
We've just gone from the rap version of "I Was Only 19" by the Herd.

Now just moved on to some French rap. Yes, French rap. They rap in French. It's kind of hilarious.

It goes on with my belief that no one can sound tough when speaking in French. Oh, they try and they try and sound angry but on of the lines was baguette which, delicious!
Now, I need to find a German song about bunnies and running in fields.

Today, I'm actually in the big hall. Big lecture hall!
It's called the JPH. I think of it as the NPH and it makes me laugh. Only calling it that.

For those playing along at home, that dude's girlf is back. She was in this lecture and she was in the one before.
Ok, maybe one day, one lecture, But come on!

I can't even make fun of you anymore, I just feel sad for her.

That being said, I had a discussion about how ridiculous it is going to someone else's lectures and then asked the dangerous question of "well, would you do it?" and the answer was pretty much yes.
So, if that happens, I'll be throwing an intervention party.

All are welcome to attend.


So, in this lecture, I've been thinking about the best ways to not pay attention. There is also the fine line of being a disturbance to others and I assure you, I know all about it.
In fact, I never got a report card sent home that didn't feature "Elyse is a disturbance to herself and others" and "Elyse would achieve better results if she could focus on the task at hand".

That being said, it was never an issue because my parents had 3 other children with the exact same comments. Names changed, obviously. And then mum got the same comments as well.
What a shocking result that my family is a distraction to itself and others.

In degree v1.0 the original, I ended up with a merry band of people to distract. I developed a UWS Monopoly board. It was pretty awesome.

That distracted others, just not as much as we thought considering someone was a little bit bitter that we didn't invite them to play.

In terms of not paying attention to lectures- Laptops are fair game, as long as sound is down. Talking... yeah, that's ok...
Getting out your guitar and/or bass in the middle of lecture?

I'm going to put that down as "what the fuck, seriously?"

It's weird man. Really weird.

That being said, yesterday I was googling things hoping to end up with here. Mainly some of the Christian Side Hug love, just trying to get on the front page of Google with the Christian Side Hug.
It was said, I wasn't?
Should I have talked about the Christian Side Hug lyrics more?
Should I have featured the actual Christian Side Hug video?
Am I trying to skew the results to end up with the Christian Side hug google page commetary to end up here instead?
Is it that obvious?

I am just trying to work out how many times I need to mention the Christian Side Hug lyrics or video or just general Christian side hugs to be able to do it?

Ok, I'll stop because it's in my head and it will never get out!

Nope, it's ok.
There's a dude in my lecture who I see and in my mind gets Gimme Gimme Gimme a Man after Midnight by Abba.
It makes me laugh.

Lecture over. Blog over.
Worth it?

Probably not.
