Jubilant (but toxic) chants
Welcome. Home. News from the front is not good. I will not being wearing a tuxedo afterall in three weeks as I had planned. But, I will offer to anyway if anyone wants to see me dress up nice. Afterall, events have taken place that have altered the schedule (positively or negatively depending on you specific disposition).
Now, onto the promised material. Recently, I was looking up some old classmates of mine, for what reason I don't know (to call them and awkwardly ask for support I suppose?). My search led me to the Governor's School website, where hundreds of ex super students have little webpages. They happen to be great fun people on there, who at one time had high levels of interest in math and science. Some of them undoubtedly went on to do real great things, but mostly I just like to read, "the story of the outcast." There's one good one in particular. The best part is the conclusion. After realizing all the evils of the world, poor suckers like this always get sucked into making better plastic coatings for tanks (or cheap furniture ppaint if they're subpar). I suggest browsing around a bit on the various pages and doing a little research yourself. It's interesting to see what becomes of ND's most promising youth. Option A- they leave and never come back OR option B- they die.
Second news item- UW has signed a deal with Madison Area Technical Colleges that allow students to transfer here after two year upon meeting certain requirements. Read the elitist undergraduate comments here, here, and here. Oh, and last but not least here. Funny ain't it? I've certainly never heard anyone say, "my college is better than yours." Shit, that's new. But, UW is definitely "harder" than any other school, and plus you have to be real smart to get in. Everyone knows if you didn't participate in FBLA, student council, or National Honor Society, there's no fucking way you have any chance of future success. If we could just let all of those smart people in, and keep the stupid slackers out, we could all be on homecoming committee. I don't know about you, but I'm into Jesus! Now could you please put his hamster right up in there? It only gets worse from there kids, and I'm not going into it. All I know is that I'm pissed that my degree from this school (if I ever get it) will now be severely diluted, much like when you piss in the toilet tank and flush it.

your research was fruitful! but that GS glass of '94 were a bunch of slackers! they have no web pages! just a horrible group photo. for those of you just arriving upon this blog, that's smilin' doug ramsey in the back right row (currently host of canadian broadcasting's "new adventures of where in the world is carmen sandiego?").
the year of interest to me, 1993, is not represented. alas.
well, we can't all go on to transfer in to a state school, i realize that. it's too "high achieving" for some of us. but for those who didn't go to governor's school, it remains a dim reality, over the horizon, like a ship passing through the wizard of oz.
it is funny how protective these college kids are of their intellectual ideal. why don't they just come out and say what they mean: "if you can't maintain a 3.5 GPA at a technical college you'd be better off putting your body to use in a skilled labor camp near my parent's lake house. there will be rations provided for your multiple children, as well as cement bunkers to sleep on. minimal whippings will occur, based soley on your level of motivation at the work camp."
speaking of diluting things... anyone try the lime-ade i made last week? wasn't it truly awful?
That lime-ade was actually mind-ade, and it was quite helpful. Thank you, and I will give you a money bank later for your troubles.
