i'm taking summer classes, for those who don't know.
we just finished with a speaker from ARCC, the arrowhead regional computing consortium. i don't know that i ever caught her name, but she was positively, tragically, minnesotan. her "O's" were so long and she was wearing a nice dress but had put a frumpy sport coat with shoulder pads over it and had cut her hair very boy-short. she was a proverbial prototype of the kind of midwest educator we all think of. or at least i think of...
and, by tragically minnesotan, i don't want to confuse anyone. it's not a tradgedy to be from this state, or the midwest, but for some reason, her joy in explaining the ridiculously over-complicated systems of public education accounting made me feel...bittersweet? a little melancholy? what the hell?
it's definitely too hot in here to analyze, AND i've been looking at this computer for three and a half hours already today. straight. i'm not complaining here, just justifying. i think it has something to do with facing the reality of the world after college.
**edit**
her name was cindy.
