Whatchu lookin' at?

Currently listening to:



New favorite song! It's perfect for this week. Temperatures this week are going to increase to about the high 70s. I <3 global climate change!

This week is a three day week because of Easter. It feels like spring break is a million miles behind us. Weird. Because of the short week, I suppose the teachers got into a frenzy because everything except the kitchen sink is due! Tonight I have to study for my AVP test, do my video proposal and go over my speech that's due on Wednesday. It doesn't seem like much but walk a minute in my moccasins and you'll see. You'll see.

Anyway, this break is going to spectacular! With the beaut weather, my friends and I are planning to go to the park, chill out and read, go shopping in the Village, and look really cute doing it! The only things I'm wearing are dresses. It's time to put away the bulk and layers and say hello to bright, beautiful printed dresses.

You may be wondering why I titled this post "Whatchu lookin' at?" Aside from the fact it's a shout-out to Madonna's age-old song, Vogue, there was something that happened in Comm Law that was just way weird and I had to share it with ya'll. We're talking about copyright infringement and all that beautiful stuff. Well, Thom opens up the class with a question: Does YouTube infringe on copyright? I shook my head no and he called on me to expand on my thought. I said how YouTube has a list of music you can add to your video that is okay to copy. If you have a music bed that YouTube considers infringement they disable it. If you've uploaded a video, you've experienced this at least once or twice. Well, we have a guy in the class that's an adult student. I don't mind adult students so long as they act like students (ie coming in class acting as if you know more than the teacher isn't cool). As I'm speaking, people are looking at me (including adult student) and I don't really mind so much. Big deal. Thom starts speaking and instead of looking at Thom, the adult student is intent on STARING at me!

If I had any gaul like Ash does, I would've glared back at him. Instead, I rested my hand on my face, blocking my view of him. He finally turned to look at Thom. I told Ash this and she completely agreed it was creepy. I think it's a part of societal ediquette that you don't stare at people.That's why kids get slapped upside the head for staring. It's rude! It's obnoxious, uncomfortable, annoying. She wondered if he was thinking about what I just said or was so ignorant and blown away about what I knew. 1) Dude could think of what I said without gawking at me and 2) his time could be better spent writing down what I said and doing further research out of the classroom. Either way takes his beady eyes off me and onto his notebook or Thom.

Am I being too brash? Too harsh? I don't think so. Don't stare. It's a simple, polite thing. Look at someone when they're talking and when they're finished talking, go about your business.

Tell me what ya'll think.
