School's Out for the SUMMER!

And damn I'm fucking happy about it. This quarter really pissed me off. Seems the more I go the more the school pisses me off. I'd bitch about it, go up the chain of command, but why bother? Sure, that's a nice attitude to have, I guess if I really wanted to push it I could, but seriously, I don't donate money to the school, my parents aren't wealthy, I only have one quarter to go, and I'd be bitching to deaf ears I believe. I know, not an attitude to have, but it's reality.

It's interesting to note that some of these professors really do have favorites, and some of the students kiss asss so much that you can't differentiate where the teacher's ass stops and the student's nose starts. It's also funny, how the guy next to me did next to nothing all quarter, turned in half ass projects at the last minute, didn't even buy the text for the quizzes and ends up barely making an A while I get a B (88.4 to be exact). She really made it clear she didn't like my images much. When my portfolio came across she barely said anything, besides that the binding was too tight. I had to prompt her to re-grade my self-promo, which was a 65 at first and I don't know what it was for the second one but my grade went up to a 77. A C? I don't think anyone except maybe one or two people should have gotten a C. On anything.

Ok enough of that. I'm just so fucking happy it's over for now.

I ate at Moon River Brewing today. I should have had the beers but I refrained. Anyway some national spelling bee was on. I'm telling you, that was some serious shitake! Granted, I love spelling. I won the 6th grade spelling bee. I'm a stickler for it, can pick errors out right away, I don't even have to read the shit, and am horrified when I forget to spell check or proofread and I have an error (happened on a resume once and I was fucking horrified, I know it's not the end of the world but I'm so anal about professionalism in certain aspects of my life).

So these kids ask the origin of the words. I at first was like 'WTF for'. But then as I was watching I could understand why. Certain languages have particular roots that are common, so I can see the help there. THen they ask for definitions, is it a noun/adjective/etc., use it in a sentence, they repeat the pronunciation a zillion times. Damn, that's a lot of pressure for those kids I tell ya! Since I was at a bar they had the sound off, captions on. So it was really awful when you see they spelled it wrong right on the first letter. Or how about when they get through this god-awful long extinct word and the last letter or second to last letter is wrong? How horrible. Then they walk them RIGHT off the stage if they get it wrong. Apparently the 'fan favorite' got the boot when he misspelled a fairly simple word in relation to some of those others. And his mother appealed. The audacity! Claiming the announcer mispronounced it or some shit like that. Are you serious lady???

Anyway, I want some Breyer's Oreo Ice Cream, which is the BEST. I bought the Klondike Oreo Ice Cream sandwiches and they just suck.
