Hello family and friends. Welcome to the new updated version of my life. Forget the olden days of word of mouth or snail mail, we're going technological now.
I'm a double major: English and History, and I will test for my ministerial credentials in May 2008. Overachiever? You betcha.
So far so good, though. Third semester, second semester sophomore. I work at a daycare; meaning I work with kids. For the most part they're pretty cool. Then you get days like today when they act better than my boss. But hey, what can you do? Nothing but call my mother and gripe to her about it.
I'm in the library at the moment. Why? Because my sagunet doesn't work at this school. In fact, a lot of things don't make sense. Here's a run down of things I've noticed so far:
1. Boys and My Laundry
It seems as if not only boys steal laundry, examine my laundry, and touch my laundry, they are constantly around when I am switching clothes and carrying them to and fro. Stop looking at my laundry. It's creepy. I probably lose all respect for you.
2. People in Computer Labs
Most importantly, people in places of academic progress. For example, when people are in the library computer labs, they are most likely doing something productive. They are probably not being obnoxiously loud with their boy/girlfriends. And what's this about checking myspace? Is that all you use the Labs for? Aren't you also on myspace during class? Stop texting and talking in class, too. You're worse than a two year old at a preschool.
3. Speed Mountains in the Parking Lot
This one amuses me. You see, instead of repairing giant potholes in the parking lots--these potholes are so large they are rumored to have swallowed small children alive--the administration feels the need to put in speed bumps to alleiviate the burnin' wheels problem. This is fine with me, but though these things are small in width, they are great in height. My car drags bottom across them. And there are at least 28 speed mountains on this campus.
4. Food in the Cafeteria
I believe this is self explanatory. The fact that you're eating last semester's leftovers says it all.
And what really makes me laugh, is when the leftovers make their rounds through the lines. For example, baked chicken appears in the Homecookin' line, shredded chicken appears the next day in the wrap line, choice of chicken appears in the stir fry line the next day, and we have chicken alfredo pizza for a meal the following.
5. People who can't park
I realize my own parking is shotty, but I at least have the capability to park my car inside the two yellow lines. Sure, it might be slightly crooked--okay, a lot crooked--but never has my wheels touched or gone over one of those parking stripes. It's those people who think the aim is to center their car directly over one of those yellow lines who I just don't get. Don't you understand that the car goes inside the lines? Sheesh, did you never take a driving course? I can't believe the DMV even approved your license. I found myself parked 3 miles away from my dorm room one evening when there were not enough parking spaces next to my door. Well, not enough room to park, there were at least four parking spaces that would have been empty if we could all learn how to park.
6. SAGUNET
Sagunet is quite different from regular internet. Internet doesn't exist at SAGU. We have our own internet proxies and everything. We're technologically advanced! HAA! I do believe the aim of I.T. is to screw over all of our laptops so that at the end of our stay here, we are left with heavy boxes of plastic that don't know how to function without the sagu proxies. Thanks, guys. And when your windows are smashed in one day, don't go lookin' at me. It's probably the other 1783 people that live on campus with future-crap computers.
7. Your Invited
This is grammatically incorrect. Don't know why? Get some schooling. Oh wait, you're already in COLLEGE!
8. People Making Out in Front of the Stairwells
PDA is gross. Period. End of story. Go get a hotel. I don't care, really. I just don't want to come to the stairs to find boy and girl sucking faces in front of me. Seriously, it's gross. I do not want to see that Public Display of Anything.
For the most part, my semester has gone wonderfully. I'm quite homesick, but sagu's student body and administration has definitely kept me occupied.
After all, if we didn't have these ridiculous impracticalites, it wouldn't be sagu.
