Hello again,
Today I was waiting in like in the cafeteria on campus for a sandwich, and the girl who was making it, was talking to her coworker as in between asking me what I wanted on it. She was talking about how her and her boyfriend are getting married. Which in my opinion, if you've been with them long enough to know that you want to spend the rest of your life with this someone, and you love and trust them with every fiber for your whole being, then by all means, marry them. But if you don't, what are you thinking?! And as usual, I am in no place to judge her, except when she started talking about why. She was telling her friend that they are getting married because she is spending too much money on school, to not be married to him. That when they get married, they look at the combined low income, they will give you more money in student loans. WHAT?! You are getting married to get money from FASFA?! You're kidding? nope. And then to make matters worse, she said that they had discussed this when they had fisrt started dating! Who in their right minds stays with someone after hearing that they want to marry you for student loans on the first date? Okay, first of all, why are you talking about this at work? People like me will overhear you, judge you, and then blog about it. Then secondly, if you are going to marry a working guy, with a real job, then they will look at your income as higher than before, and give you less money. Let's think that one through again shall we? And lastly, this is no reason to get married in college!!!
Wow, okay, calm now...on to medication! So I am sick, and I made the mistake of telling my mother, who made me go to the campus doctor. Which is fine, I don't mind going to the doctor. So I went today between classes, and sat there and answered a million questions because it was my firsst time there, and then sat there and waited for the 'physician's assistant' to come in and talk to me about my symptoms. So basically, after 100 million questions, blood pressure and breathing tests, they told me I had the common cold...gee thanks. I could have told you that. But the weirdest part of the whole thing, was that the 'doctor' was more interested in my hair color and my earrings...talking about how her baby has my red hair, but both her and her husband have dark hair, [which is the same situation for me] and she asked me where it came from then, and then asked me where I got my earring, because she liked it, and she just cut her hair short and wanted a fake one, because she didn't want to pierce the cartilage, blah blah blah...oh and here's some medication for your cold that might be a sinus infection, because I want to see how your body just fights this off...that will be $48. WHAT?! really...I knew I should have just stayed home. Damn college [not actually a doctor] doctor!
Bah! so onto...accents. In my education class this morning, we were talking about dialects and accents in America. We were talking about what people around here say funny, I was the first to comment. 'They leave out the 'to be' in phrases...like needs to be washed turns into 'needs washed'' which is stupid, ENGLISH people! Damn. We went on to slang, and accents, and we watched a video. In said video they said that when asking people in the PA-MI area where the accents sound least educated, they always say 'the south' and 'New York' and that people there 'don't have accents'...hahaha says the 'needs washed' people. So naturally I told my friend from NY, and she agrees that anyone not from New York is just jealous. And honestly, PA does have an accent, multiple in fact, and they are all bizarre.
And at last, comments. In my biology lecture, we are given questions, which we answer with a sort of clicker that gives you letter options. In one of the questions, there were two of the same options, so it was the luck of the draw who picked which one he noticed first. But someone up front pointed it out, if they hadn't I would have. I have no problem with calling the teacher out. But then there was a question worded so poorly, that it had to be a trick question. When the teacher reviled the 'correct' answer, and that it wasn't a trick question, I raised my hand immediately to point it out, but my NY friend who also happens to be my lab partner/lecture buddy, grabbed my hand and put it down. "Just leave it" She said. Which is funny, because she knew exactly what I was going to bitch about, and now that I think about it, I have had a friend in nearly every other class where, when I caught something to call the teacher out, they told me to leave it, and about half of them said nothing, and just lowered my hand for me. Funny, how predictable I can get. That is all tonight my friends.
Allons-y
