higher education
causes regurgitation
not exploration
often consternation
and constipation
perspiration
from lack of inspiration
and a conflagration
on my ass-ociation.
my apologies. i just turned in monster pita paper. and rather than going to sleep right away so i might not want to strangle someone tomorrow, i’m sharing my general irritation. because. this semester sucked. (i have one more thing to do. whatever.) both of my classes were either boring or annoying. and i had to take these two this semester because the other class i needed was offered the same night, same time as the truly annoying one. which was annoying. and i didn’t take that class in the fall because my advisor suggested i take it in the spring instead. and this coming fall it isn’t offered. so the way it looks this evening, i’m one class shy of being done by december. i must tell you i’m having trouble putting a positive spin on this. i might be able to find a positive in the light of day, but tonight i cannot. because i want to be done. i would like to introduce myself to my family again. i’d like to have a life again. it just burns my butt that the scheduling part can’t be easy. one class, people. it ain’t fair.
i’m feeling a little bit of johnny cash directed at the scheduling gods. mildly offensive gesture here
npm. still.

Really well said. I like your poem, and I agree with it. Sad but true.
I hear you. I hear that from our students a lot.
I am happy the semester is over for you and hope you get a chance to take a breather before the next one kicks in.
Just don’t let the “man” get under you’re skin. At least the end is in sight. Love the poem…
Here’s a song that gets me through some tough times..

@JstNotherDay - @songoftheheart - yup. but it’s ok now.
@Grannys_Place - i think i have more than a month off. yahoo.
@Zoz36 - great song. thanks!! i’m getting the idea that he’s formerly of ambrosia? turns out there’s another class i can take. (gotta love an advisor who checks his work email before 7 am.)
Nah. You sound like @Forever_Musing. She got her class…Can you? Granted, she only needed one credit. I’m guessing yours is a specific course that’s more like 3 or 4 credits.
I CAN’T WAIT TO GO TO COLLEGE>>>
@onestepcloserto_perfection - there’s another class i can take. crisis averted. i can’t wait to be done again.
interesting little poem you got there. boy howdy, it’s almost the end of NPM, isn’t it? but anyway, it’s been a long time since I engaged in any higher education so I’ll have to take your word for it. I always blamed myself for my limited exploration. clearly i can let go of that guilt, now.
@ordinarybutloud - too much -tion? now you’re making me think i should actually put some effort into a poem worth reading.
@promisesunshine - hahahaha, no, it was a great poem. Do not take ANYTHING I say about poetry very seriously. I suck at poetry. I suck at reading it, even. I’m only okay at it if someone sings it.
@ordinarybutloud - i might have been a little angry when i wrote it.
@promisesunshine - yes, that came through. Good self expression.
@ordinarybutloud - which emotion should i tackle today.
@promisesunshine - resentment. Of course. Give me a hard question.
@ordinarybutloud - i have a million emotions to choose from today. i don’t feel like doing resentment.
Oh. Well if u have 999,999 other choices, just reach in and grab one.
just now found this. sigh. maybe it will change by fall, they’ll offer it. hope so. hang in there.
@be_the_rain - it’s ok. advisor gave me a different class to take. i would’ve told you.
Wish I had the opportunity back then to continue my education.
Stopped by to say cool profile pic.
@ShimmerBodyCream - thanks.
I like the poem and I’m glad the schedule worked out! I have toyed with going back to school but it really would only be for my own amusement at this point!
@murisopsis - i have no idea what i’m going to do with it. which is probably why it’s so frustrating that it’s not amusing.
