I am quite literally counting down the days until I board the Amtrak to Modesto. 18 days. I am leaving mere hours after my last final on Thursday. Arrive in Modesto at 9:45 the following morning. I love it here, but I am so done with this shit. These bullshit classes I took this year, the ridiculous amount of money I am pouring into this school, putting up with asshole Portland poser-hipsters who think they're the shit....no thank you. I'd like to go back to my conservative cow town now and be around the people I feel most comfortable with, who I don't feel are analyzing and judging me with every breath I take.
So I'm pretty much in a terrible mood right now. I slept four hours last night. My roommate's brother is visiting and sleeping on our floor, which is just awkward. I woke up at eight this morning for the bullshit Sustainability field trip I was required to go to. The reason I couldn't go on a retreat to the coast this weekend. We had to turn around because the idiot professor forget our sack lunches, we had some half-assed dam tour (I knew everything, so I just zoned out the whole timer), a hike in the rain, and a short lecture on the local happenings of "Friends of the Gorge" by some asshole park ranger at Multnomah Falls. Like I really give a shit if they're opening a goddamn casino or not.
And of course I have so much senseless homework for Sustainability this weekend. Really, you'd think that three reflection papers later the teacher would get the point that ALL OF OUR ASSIGNMENTS FUCKING ADRESS THE UNIVERSITY GOALS. And sorry, but regurgitating facts from the readings doesn't count as critical thinking. Son of a bitch.
I don't like bullshit classes. And these bullshit classes (except German, most of the time) are what are fucking up my G.P.A. and will eventually prevent me from getting into grad school on the east coast, because god knows those fancy-shmancy high end schools only acknowledge you if you're pretty much perfect and shit butterflies out your ass. Having a trust fund doesn't hurt either.
Fuck. I just wanna come home already.

ReplyDeleteApparently a lot of people are tired of the general education and school standards. Needless to say I am also one of those people.
But I've come to realize that in life (at least mine for sure) I have to do things that I don't want to do. It allows me to really enjoy appreciate then things I want to do. I'm not just saying bad stuff happens, even though it does. I'm saying bad stuff happens, but they make up a much smaller part of our lives then we believe them to be. The good parts of life are always the more memorable ones anyway. --
