My Most Recent Torrid Love Affair Gone Awry [Suzi]

O-week was scintillating. Others have waxed nostalgic/lauded/generally described it better than I can, so I’ll just leave it at this: TURN AROUND WHEN YOU’RE IN LINE AND SAY HI TO SOMEONE NEW. It’s one of the best, most un-awkward opportunities to make friends (like, “real” friends, people you speak to long enough that texting to go caffeinate no longer feels quite as strange. Also, just me, or does U of M desperately need some kind of Starbucks? Fair-trade, organically-grown, definitely-no-fishy-business Jamaican Blue beans is all well and good, but I want my damn blended cream already.)

In other news, I fell asleep during my second lecture today. Not much else needs to be said. It was an accident; I have absolutely nothing against Accounting – but I fear it holds a vendetta against me. Behold, the evils of Counting Godz (A.K.A. The Numbersmen* – they rent out the name to an up-and-comin’ band from Reykjavik on weekends for extra profit.)

Example one: ARA tutorial #1, first date with my sweet ‘Counting. Found out the hard way that a), the ICT building is really flippin’ hard to get to from Copland in five minutes, and 2), Accounting tutes don’t start til Week 2. Obviously kismet for some large unknown infraction I committed towards the Numbersmen.

Example b: Accounting book (Accounting, Horngren et al, 5th ed, 2005, blah blah Oxford reference system…) may have given me spinal problems after just three hours of carting it around. Obviously, the Numbersmen wishes to act against me (and my operational vertebrae.)

Example delta: I fell asleep during the lecture. I’m sure I missed some valuable gobbet, seeing how all first-year first-week lectures are stunningly crucial and tantamount to success. Obviously, my sass is not appreciated by the Numberzd00dz.

Last Example: Ten weeks of the Accounting course revolves around Tarrant Woods, a startup winery. Obviously the Numbersmen know my weakness for Muscato and want me to drink self to death (in name of research and completely written off tax-wise) while going through expenditure and profit margins.

This is mildly distressing as I am a Commerce student. (halp!!!)

*I feel that giving my god a trendy name will make him funner and more accessible, and maybe turn me into a fun raving chorus girl, a la Hillsong et al. Wonder if there’ll ever be Television Accountvangelists? Or are those credit experts who tell people to consolidate debt and STOP SPENDING BEYOND THEIR MEANS (oh what genius, I had to use my common sense for half a minute…) on Oprah all the time kind of it? I kind of hate the idea of Accounting failing to religion in any area, as much as the Numbersmen revile me…

Kisskiss,

  1. ‘Wonder if there’ll ever be Television Accountvangelists?’

    Well, they let Natalie Bassingthwaite host a show, so I say anything’s possible…
