On the weekend and perceptions...

[apogeeperigee]

I am still on my very long weekend. I took the day off work today since I am pretty much maxed out on days and just losing time

yay poverty kids going to good schools!!!

:)

my granddad paid my college tuition 'cause there was NO WAY my family would be able to come up with it. and i was going to a state school, so it wasn't really that much money. i remember worrying whether my dad would sign the financial aid forms every sememster(so i could get work-study jobs to pay for my food and books etc.) because he was scared that somehow he would be responsible for paying for school if he signed something. he couldn't read the forms well enough to figure them out so i walked him thru them.

so glad that is ancient history now. proud of where i came from 'cause that's how i got to be me, but glad to no longer live it daily.

Mr. Hipster needs a reality check and a date with a clue by four.

EVERYONE knows the smart kids go to Harvard and the nerds to go to MIT! /jk :) :) :) Mr. Hipster needs a reality check and a date with a clue by four.

I hope it was enjoyable toying with his reality, then breaking it.

You're right that there are smart kids at all higher education institutions. But let's not forget that there are dumb people at all of them too! I have seen so much moronic behavior from Ivy League tenured professors it's ridiculous. In a way it's been really reassuring to me that if *those* people can do it, I *have* to be capable of doing something reasonable with my life.
