There is now much undeniable proof that 2009 is TOTALLY FUCKED.
This year will not rock. A three pronged arguement.
I. A is fo Academic or I JUST WANT MY FUCKING DEGREE.
As of December, I completed all the hours required along with the portfolio for my BFA: Creative Writing. However, I did not file in time to receive my useless piece of paper. After jumping hoops for the last three weeks I've been informed that I will not be receiving the useless piece of paper until May. Thusly killing my ability to take John's job from him that was offered after he decided six days before semester start "Fuck y'alls, I'm going to Oregon.". Great. This is after they changed the work schedule on me four fucking times.
(For those that have been paying attention, I almost started work doing library/archival two and a half months ago, yet despite having more actual practical experience and certification than the competition, got turned over because of my lack of degree. Delicious.)
The positive is I still had one more semester of grants to use if I'm willing to do another full load. For an extra $2000? Why the fuck not. Though because the hoop dance ended after normal registration, I got chanked into throw away classes. And because of the lovely F in B.F.A., I won't be able to complete enough work for another B! without blowing through another semester after this. Great. Extra hours for no achievement, sans potentially finishing off mathematics (high school level) certification. Useless.
I also accepted an hourly doing editing/revising at a writing mill..which is great because I'm going to have A LOT of free time with the chanked ass schedule I have.
I also got full ride offers from schools I don't want to go to for grad school. And seat positions but no financial compensation from the programs I'm really interested in. I have no idea in hell what I'm doing anymore. I just know if one more motherfucker tries to pressure me into taking the UH full ride because its close and easy, I'm burning my writing portfolio and cutting off my right hand.
My brother is back in the hospital. This will probably be the last of it.
I guess I'm getting that Mrk II sooner than expected.
I'm frazzled and fucking scared.
