Zach gave me a haircut!
Operation Rat tail is in full force for the next 2 weeks. It is almost over. It will go away before I leave for PA, I think? I don’t know; I am getting attached.
I would also like to thank Anne for pointing out my grammar mistakes! I really need to work on them.

Arrests all in one week…nuts
I come on campus and find that every single newspaper in connection with the University all have arrests of students and faculty on them. I go away for a few days and come back to all this ‘wonderful’ news.
In other news; I think my partner wants me to cut the rat tail. I still have more time. I do not want to part. Not yet! Please except me for who I am!!
Oh, and my mom saw the rat tail. It was funny.

Back in Town for a brief time
I never thought that less than 2 days ago I thought that I would be returning back to school, working at my mail-room job, getting used to not having my partner around, and just spending time with close friends. Now, the school part has changed, I am moving, and I do not have my mail-room job.
I am here sitting at my desk in the mail-room and realizing that in another day I will not be working in this place anymore. I will be trying to find studies to do, odd-jobs, and getting ready to move away. I am excited and of course scared, but more excited than scared. I get to move to a new place and change my life again.
I am going to record my next few weeks.

Campus Cuties…
So, I work with someone who I think is definitely in need of a reality check. Now, sometimes you judge people and this time is one of them. At first I was going to give this person the benefit of the doubt. Saying to myself, “It’s just the voice. Let it go.” but after spending the whole summer working side by side with this human, I realized something about the world. Women sometimes are their most sexist enemy.
So, along with this statement I have just made, here is how I have come to this conclusion:
- Coming to work showing off “the rack”.
- Dumbing down for the good of all MAN-kind.
- More ‘like’ and ‘whatever’ or ‘ you know’ in one sentence
- Oh man, the laugh!
- High heels and broken bones
- Calling the person you are dating…”MY guy/woman”
And finally the whole point of this post… (Drum roll please)
This link is basically going to take you to a competition between women who are trying to win $1000.00. You get voted and move on to different rounds. Two women in each round go head to head and battle for who is the “hottest”. In other words, it’s based on women being sex objects and getting voted on who is the sexiest in order to win money. It is degrading and the women actually believe this is how it should be in our society.
The fact that it even exist makes me vomit a little. After all that, I ask the question; “Why must we be the biggest enemy to ourselves?”
