Dinosaur Tie

So, check it out, playas. I've got my own blog. I, Caleb Schellenberg, have gotten a blog.

Prepare for: opinions forced down your brain hole, links to websites and things that won't have any consequence in your life, and constant updates about what up in ma life. Nah, I probably won't do all of that. I think I'll just do updates. I can't think of any opinions I have currently. I'll try and keep note of them as they come along, but you know how it is.

One of the funniest things I heard last week was said by my friend Brent in class. I assume he said it by accident, or maybe he doesn't know what it means, but this is it: "This is this month's quarterly report."

He said it in our improv class and it was hilarious to me. I believe quarterly reports are only given out every quarter and not every month. I could be wrong. He could've been talking about how he got their quarterly report that month, but I doubt that's what he meant. I don't want to be wrong, so BLEGH!

That was something you did not need to know, but you can bet your bottom dollar that's what happened in my improv class.

Not really much to tell about how school has been. I've missed a couple classes, but that's classic Caleb right there. Although, my attendance of late has been rather awesome. I haven't missed the first two weeks of school! Please send all high fives to my PayPal account. My class marks will probably be shotty. Especially in my History of Comedy class. It's the type of class where you have to do extra studying and stuff to do well on the exam - which I did not do well on. The first text/exam was about Greek and Roman comedy history. That's stuff with Dionysus, Catullus, Menader, and all this garbage I had no idea about before. I estimate that my mark in that class will be no higher than 56 - the bare bottom for passing the class.

I've always wondered how "learning curves" work. I've seriously never had them explained to me. People just go on about them. I'm starting to think that not everyone knows what a learning curve is either.

My College Writing prof., Brad Reed, is pretty awesome. He's an old hippy who doesn't mind speaking from his brain. There was one problem. He showed us one of his sets from Yuk Yuks and, we're taught in our Stand Up class to NEVER go over your time limit because it screws the night for everyone else, but Mr. Brad Reed went 3 minutes longer than he should've. That's like HORRIBLE in the realm of stand up comedy. Another weird thing he did was steal a joke from Jerry Seinfeld. Respect -1.

It appears I jump all over the place. There doesn't seem to be any sort of order to these paragraphs. Much is the way of my writing style. So, apologies.
