Middle of the Road
I had an odd feeling today as I was changing clothes in the bathroom following my observations at a Champaign High school and before I went to a U of I class.
As I was changing out of my professional dressy clothes and into my college uniform (that is, jeans, hoodie, and flip flops) I literally felt my demeanor and attitude change.
When I walked into the bathroom in my nice clothes I felt confident, mature, and ready for the world.
When I changed I felt comfortable, defiant, and unaffected by the outside world.
Not that it's not great to know I can actually pull off the grown-up thing...
But I think for now (for these last few months) I'll enjoy my unique college self

Well this is Me....
If having to write all of the TV shows you watch (12) on a Post-It so you can keep track and not miss any during the week is sad....
....Then cry me a river
and
If seeing this picture of Spaghetti Cat makes me burst into a fit of uncontrollable giggles (more so than Pizza Baby) is wrong....
....Then I don't want to be right.

Three's a Crowd
Well Here's a New One:
To set the Scene: After a long night of work, Whitney begins counting her money and totaling everything into calculator. Her Boss, R. (new nicknames to protect privacy) and his on and off lady love N. (You know who I'm referring to). sit at a table nearby staring at Whitney. She tries to ignore them, even though they just asked her an inappropriate sexual question, but wasn't prepared for the even more inappropriate question about to come.
R.: "So Whitney, do you want to have a threesome with me and N.?"
Whitney stops typing into the calculator, keeps her head bowed, waiting to hear laughter. It doesn't come. After several long awkward moments she looks up...
Whitney: "umm......Nooooooo"
R: "Well that was quite the long wait, were you thinking about it?"
Whitney: "No, I really wasn't"
Meanwhile, she tries to stop her face from flushing.
R: "Why not? I mean, N. is a really hot girl and I have a pretty cute body myself."
N: "Yeah, and R. has a big dick too."
Whitney: "Ummm, I didn't need to know that."
R: "Well why did you take so long to answer then?"
Whitney: "I was waiting to hear you guys laugh, since I hope your messing with me.....[awkward silence] Can we please change the subject now?"
And indeed, the subject is changed, and while R. and N. did occasionally smile or give a little giggle, they never gave Whitney the impression they were joking.
Never, in the next five minutes, did they say it was a joke, did they laugh at "getting her good", or make any reference to the conversation. Everything went back to normal, like it was never said.
.........And Scene.
True Story.

Here I Go Slacking Again..
...It's not that I haven't had anything to say, I just haven't had any reason to say it.
Current Mood: Ticked off.
Apparently I'm frustrated for no reason. I'm annoyed for every reason.
I'm finished with the bureaucracy of my University, with the hierarchy of majors, with the establishment.
I've loved my experience on campus, I've had a brilliant time. But will I ever be donating my alumni money one day? Highly unlikely.
When I am assured that I actually mean something to this school, that my major is just as important as any other, THEN maybe I will feel differently.
Until then, I'll enjoy my morning meetings in buildings 15 minutes off campus while Business and Engineering majors enjoy relaxing, breakfast catered gatherings.
Until then, I'll patiently wait for my student teaching placement 1 YEAR AND 2 MONTHS after I submitted my application because the university will only pay for one education placement worker.
Until then, I'll figure out why I am paying full tuition to student teach when I've consistently been told by this university that my career choice is unimportant.
Until then, I'll ponder why I can't have a double major in History and Education when I have more than enough hours in each to warrant so.

Only Talk,
When you no longer care If they're listening
