Mind Ramblings #2


Global politics. The politics of the globe. Why humans do what they do. Why humans want power. Is money power? Is power money? Do people make power? Or does military force create it? My professor claimed that international relations is one of the most important subjects a student can study right now. I'm sitting on my green tea couch with a bottle of Smart Water and really really trying to decipher every word in every sentence in this goddamned textbook. The last class was just a bunch of ramble as every kid raised their hand in vain to repeat what the last kid had said. I sat there sighing in my seat as two popped-collar striped pink boys "har-har'd" about the feminist perspective. The kid in the very front with the severe Asberger's was the only one with a brain. I felt that even I didn't have one. The overweight girl with the badly dyed orange hair snapped her gum and stared at him with disgust. My eyes pierced her pale face with tiny daggers. The ignorance is too much! Oh the pain of college! Pick me up and take me to grad school right now, I can't take it!

I can't wait for Autumn. It is what I say every year. Autumn comes for only a moment before the "harsh" chills of Florida winter seclude me to my cave. I have outdoor guilt. I feel like I should be outside enjoying the weather but it is just too damn hot. Will people think differently of me if I just retreat to my cool little apartment with my textbook written by the very dry Ray? Ninth edition! How long must he torture the masses? Murgo (my professor) says Ray was his professor when he was in grad school. Explain to me why some of the smartest people are coming out of Tallahassee. I love it.

I have to scan shit and send receipts. Mexican dinner with mi amiga makes me smile oh so happily even though she too feels the weight of the eight different textbooks.

Ciao!

  1. You think the smartest people come out of Tallahassee? Yeah, with me and you here, I guess they do.
    I had so much fun tonight, and it was really a great break from the textbook hell. And I just have to say I'm glad you're learning about all that power/world stuff. Because I know I don't want to sit through that class of yours...so you can teach me everything I need to know. Right?

    Buenos noches, mi amiga.
