I feel like a complete and utter academic failure. Thank God I didn't go to a "good" college, because I probably would've failed out. If I'm so damn smart, why can't I get my shit together, huh? What the hell is wrong with me? Why do I even think I belong in graduate school ( Read more... )

I know something that will cheer you up...

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!
PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!
PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

Okay, it's probably not as fun without a visual but if I had a banana suit I'd dance for you. Also if I had a badger suit.

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY WITH A BASEBALL BAT!

I actually was thinking of applying to yr school when I was in high school. I heard raves that it was an amazing school. THE LIES THEY FEED US HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS!

Pah. Okay, I'm done being retarded.

Thank you. That made me lol. :)

It's got amazing science programs. But a) I'm in the humanities and b) it is on Long Island and isolated from any sort of civilization. You can't even walk to the Starbucks without crossing six lanes of traffic.

Pah. Okay, I'm done being retarded.
Christina, I hope you're never done being retarded.

ps. What exactly is going on in your icon?

I see. I'm in the English/Humanities department as well. I figured it was more of a science oriented school when I found out you guys have your own hospital. You know, my tour guide actually told me that he didn't like a lot of the people there because most of them are Long Island snobs. Gosh, he was cute too. I can't really remember but how far away is actual civilization? Do you have to take a 10 minute bus or train ride to get your espressos?

Re: As for my icon, that was just me laying in the grass waiting to have a picnic. Nothing fascinating.

I'm glad my stupidity can be of good use! Heeee!

The hospital would be more useful if I were prone to overdoses.
Half the school is Long Island snobs and the other half is FOB Asians.

It's still nice.

I wouldn't say it's stupidity per se.

Dude, THAT IS GREAT. I'd love to go to a football game of yours and arrange maybe 70 students to gather around and do the Badger dance at half time. I can just hear the cheerleaders--OH THEY'D LOVE US.

First, UWM doesnt have a real football team. So, any of our sports but basketball, the cheers are made up and led by average students.

Second- HAH, you really havent been to a Wisconsin(the Badgers) game. There, the student sections ARE the cheerleaders. The crappy ones in the uniforms hang out by the alumni, and try to look good for the camera. Student section is where its at. There are always groups of people walking around to lead the sections. Come lead the Badger dance, please.

Your games sound like a lot of fun.

Ours or Wisconsins? I mean, both are....

UWm soccer games are great. We have a small stadium, so the students are RIGHT up against the field. We have a really brutal reputation, too. We only placed 24th at teh end of the year, which sucks, but our keeper has the best goals against average in the NCAA Div 1.

UWM's I think-agh I'm confused.
I <3 soccer.
side note: I always wanted to play rugby, but I'm a bit of a wimp. Plus, some people don't take kindly to teaching a GIRL (omg wtf a girl!) how to play RUGBY.

Another advantage to the Midwest...the best womens rugby in the country is here. Dont play rugby without playing footy, though. I played for years, and its way better than rugby.

Wikipedia isn't being very helpful so far as helping me understand what footy is.

"Football is the name given to a number of different team sports. The most popular of these worldwide is Association football, which is called soccer in several countries. The English language word football is also applied to Rugby football (Rugby union and Rugby league), American football, Australian rules football, Gaelic football, and Canadian football."
