someone's getting off to a great start
have you ever wondered if giving yourself pep talks was worth it?
today was the first day of classes here at uga and i only had one to go to @ 10:10 a.m. (not that bad). even though i woke up at about 8:30 and couldn't really go back to sleep, i still just layed in bed, hoping to fall back asleep, because the dream i had just been awoken from was way better to me than reality. so i missed the class which happens to be korean which i happen to miss A LOT. a great way to ruin a first impression!
right now i'm sitting next to a foreign student and it interests me how i think she doesn't care about underground american culture. how she's really just here to get an education like most people should. i don't think she cares about what's the coolest clothing, or what's the coolest music. if this sounds elitist to you then you are misunderstanding my point. lately i've really been unable to to comprehend why hateful people don't understand that we're all people and that we all come from different backgrounds and have different lives.... etc.
the other day i was walking past jackson street books and two guys were standing in front of it reading the "stop the greed" poster. i heard one of them say "god, it's just three dollars" to which the other agreed laughing. and i thought they were so stupid, because sure, three dollars isn't too much, and that's exactly what they want you to think, so you'll park, and overstay your time. you get the ticket and think "yeah i knew this might happen, but what's three bucks?" take that and multiply it by how many cars get parking tickets each day and then maybe multiply that by how many days they enforce the parking meter laws. not so little an ammount of money now is it? perhaps i should have asked them for three dollars right then.
well, this is all the time i get for internet today, since we don't have it. spike, ross, see you at hot corner?
