Yeeeeeeah I am a busy person |D

Also! For my Writing and Technology class, we're sending the professor emails about what we want to cover in the course and what directions we want the course to take. One of the things I want to talk about is understanding internet culture and some of the most frequent references/frequently visited sites. I want to talk about 4chan, icanhascheezburger, and the YouTube channel Know Your Meme, but I know there's a ton I'm missing. Can anybody think of anything that should be up there with internet culture?

EDITED FOR CLARITY: What I'm asking for is stuff that everyone online should know. For example, if someone professed to not knowing what ICHC stood for, you'd sit there with your jaw on the keyboard and go, "What do you mean you've never seen a LOLcat before? You are missing out!" and then proceed to drag them to the nearest browser and subject them to poorly spelled yet hilariously cute household pets. I am looking for Things Everyone Should Know About the Internet.

And I have choir in fifteen minutes so I had better go. |D

First Day of Classes! NOW IN DETAIL

Not too much detail, since I'm sure y'all don't care quite that much. XD

First of all, getting up early and having three hours of work before class is going to kill me. Just saying.

Writing for Tech was pretty laid back. She's asked us to email her our ideas for the class - what we want to cover, where we see it going, etc. Basically, we're building the syllabus as a class. The professor already really wants us to keep a blog (pardon me while I stare at both of mine...I'm overdue for a Typo Away post, huh), so I'm suggesting social networking sites as a big part of it. That's also why I asked for stuff about internet culture in my last post - I want to do a class or two about Things You Should Know About Internet Culture - we can probably relate it to knowing and writing for a certain audience - and mention a few well known sites/people/memes. I know there were several blank faces when I mentioned ICHC, and that is simply not acceptable.

Choir is choir and will be awesome. This is, of course, a given.

Thesis class actually looks like it'll be okay. The syllabus has a small writing assignment due every week (500-800 words, easy) and we've got a good deal of reading to do for the first half of the semester, but Goodman said that was mostly to generate discussion and ideas for people who didn't have a clue what they were going to do yet. I told her what I wanted to do, which is expand the paper I did on anonymity and the internet. I know I can do more research, Anonymous has done a hell of a lot more stuff since then, and I now have Twitter to analyze as well. She told me it was a solid paper to begin with and I should "have an easy semester."

That made part of me happy. It scared the hell out of the other part. When I start taking things easy, they don't get done. I might treat it as HOLY SHIT I HAVE TO WRITE A THESIS anyway in the hope that I get things started and finished in a timely manner.

So yeah, those are my classes for the semester. Huzzah. :D

And if I plan to go to the Utada Hikaru concert on the 18th I'd better get tickets, huh.
