Grad school is weighing heavy on my mind already. I stumbled across this:
"In 2005, University of Michigan alumna Helen Zell donated $5 million to the university's graduate program in creative writing, to be spent quickly to build the program's reputation. While Michigan had already been considered one of the country's top 10, the donation allowed the program to claim to be, as director Eileen Pollack puts it, "one of the top two programs in the country." Michigan M.F.A. students have their tuition waived for both years. In the first year, each receives a $20,000 stipend; in the second year, each student teaches and receives a slightly smaller amount. Michigan increased its stipend in February from $18,000, in part to match that given by Texas, raising the stakes for the University of Virginia, which had already increased its award to keep up with Michigan's former rate."
It sounds like a dream. Close(r) to my daughter, a top MFA program, a wonderful financial situation compared to the $20K a year I'm spending here. I'm doing okay with my grades, but if this is the goal, then I need to get working. I need to improve my GPA and get working. I only have a 3.68, but I know I can bring it up at least a 3.8, if not higher, if I keep getting 4.0 semesters. I'm trying to get a volunteer position at 826, which is a writing program that teaches kids, from grade school to high school how to write.
Damn, I'm trying to find info on average grades of those accepted into the program, but I can't find a thing. Meh.

:: Mood: depressed
first my step dad think i look like a hooker in freshman year, then there is the rumor that i am pregnant floating around in band, a section thinks norway and i are freaky and now i guess making jokes about screaming in bed are ok too now. everyone time someone makes remarks i feel molested. some slutty bitch everyone gets to fuck. what is hard is that i never really had sex. i feel so nasty and i wanted to run in the rain but then people can see easily through wet white shirts. i wonder why i am here. of i consider suicide just so i can come back to whereever icame from. whatever my real home is. (or i will just be dead, which is fine too i guess)and apparently i take things personally. well i can get mad if i want and i will get mad because that is what people do. and my apologies for taking a personal subject personally. the only hting i am concerned about is passing on dna i guess. why could i not have a brother or sister.

i seriously think this game is rigged.
does anyone else think it's weird that the favored presidential ticket is "Obama - Biden" when just a few years ago the stereotypical bad guy was "Osama bin Laden".
i just think it's bizarre. and not that i ever cared about osama, or obama, really. because for the most part, i resent politics. but that just struck me on a linguistic level, and i had to acknowledge it.

So, it was a long crappy summer spent primarily working for Meijer 40+ hours a week, and now my summary of everything that happened since my last update is mostly complete. Oh except for all the crap that happened recently.
So, there was some drama with the guy I was going to room with in the dorms ( I won't get into it but it's kind of rough) so through on odd series of convenient coincidences I wound up rooming with my friend Adam...
...in an apartment!
So yeah I'm out of the dorms officially and now living on my own. I have my own room, two closets(one's a walk in! And it smells like cat pee >_> ), a parking space I don't have to walk 10 minutes to get to, oh and two cats. In short it's pretty friggin' awesome. Of course it turns out MSU isn't wild on students trying to get out of their housing contracts so that was a massive mess that took about 2 weeks to get out of (in fact the paperwork JUST cleared this morning)
My classes look pretty damn awesome so far. One is on performance art (you know, art where you go somewhere and do something weird to make people think and whatnot, like the free hugs campaign, or those annoying 'the truth' ads where they tell people smoking is bad (you know, in case people can't find the surgeon general's warning taking up half the box)).
Then there's my american studies class that I signed up for randomly to fill my College of Arts and Letters requirement. So I arrived there expecting some boring about how america is awesome/is the worst country in the world when I picked up the syllabus. Apparently, as it turns out, it's all about storytelling in pop culture. In other words, it's about pulp novels, comic books, vaudville, movies, tv shows, radio shows and other such things. Superman, Batman, The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the X-men all appear on the syllabus. Tomorrow we'll be watching the show Supernatural in class, and later on we'll be watching an episode of Buffy. Basically the entire time my prof was explaining his class I was trying my hardest not to giggle like a little girl. I also had to strongly resist the urge to dance and sing on my way home.
Today I have logic and statistics for psychology students. Logic was alright. I expect stats to be lame, but meh. And now I'm basically stuck in the library looking for ways to kill time, hence my sudden appearance here after an absence of 4 months.
By the way, I've officially quit Meijer. It only took 4 years or so >_>. I also don't plan on coming back to Rockford next summer, not that I saw any of you this summer really (and that's really not meant to be as bitter as it probably sounds. I honestly really didn't hardly have the time to meet up with anyone anyway).
So yeah. just 2 hours and 10 minutes to kill before my next class. Weeeee...
...maybe I'll ambush a librarian somewhere or find a way to squish them in the motorized shelves....
...or I suppose I could, you know, read.
Take care everyone.

Riddle
A Panda Bear walked into a resturant. He sat down at a table and ordered some food. When he was finished eating, he took out a gun and shot his waiter. He then left the resturant. After the police caught up with him, they asked him why he had killed the waiter. He replied, "Look me up in the dictionary." What did the dictionary say?
