happy halloween assholes
It's Halloween, my favorite holiday, and I will be spending the night in the library. Great. Fucking Great. I feel like I'm 21 going on 50. LAME!
I work 20 hours a week. I teach (taught) a class. I'm an office holder in my fraternity. I help out the Volunteer Center on a regular basis. I attend weekly Alternative Break meetings. I am seemingly the only person in Apt. C who knows how to clean. I'm a full time student.
I wanted to graduate Magna Cum Laude which is now mathematically impossible. Why? Other things came in the way. Aparently I decided it was more important to volunteer and support myself financially than to have everything handed to me so I could maintain amazing grades.
Shit. I could be preparing to graduate from a smarty-pants (lame phrase, I know) private college but no. My rents would have taken out loans. Apparently I decided it was more important to give my rents the satisfaction of being able to send their child to college (albeit at public, low prestige, and what-was-once-cheap CMU). Of course I have since decided I'm paying them back anyways, whether they like it or not.
I'm pissed at the world.
I met an amazing woman in my ESC 400 class this semester. She is 35ish, has four children, works part-time, and commutes from Saginaw to be a full-time student at CMU. She is studying Physics and Earth Science for a B.S. in Ed. and somehow maintains a 3.5 GPA (WHILE MAJORING IN PHYSICS MIND YOU!). Sounds stressful right? It doesn't appear that way. She is always smiling and has more of an optimistic and bright personality than any other student in our ESC 400 class. How? I have no clue. She is now a personal hero.
But as I was saying....FUCK!!!
I wrote one of my professors a nasty e-mail today and I'm afraid it was sparked by all of this other bullshit going on. I'm waiting for a response.
