Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

Why didn't you go to grad school?

Is a masters in graphic design worth anything these days? NO. I'd still be waiting fucking tables.

My professor is a nutjob. This is a good thing. The focus of the class is the middle ages from 300-1000, so all the dirty shit going on in the Dark Ages, like the RIP ACROSS EUROPE CELTS, RIGHT RICHTER?!

I have to write a term paper and have my topic and outline done in 2 weeks. I'm thinking either something on Byzantine Iconoclastic Periods and the effect they had on the Church or How stealing the silkworm helped shape the Byzantine Empire economically...I have time.

Yes. To teach students that will never have a job because it's a saturated market. Fuck that. At least with history, I can get my teaching certificate and teach in secondary schools if I have to. I'm convinced there's not enough good history teachers in the world.

I've had a number of jobs in the market. It's competitive as hell, but it's not like a degree guarantees you a job.

Of course, they were quite up front about how hard I'd have to work my ass off, so maybe you were mislead or something.

Let's do it. Because even though I'm totally going for my Masters in Historical Costume and Textiles, I'll need something to do during that.


Also....FUCKING FINANCIAL AID!!!

I couldn't get a hold of anyone at my campus, so I called the main one. My refund card was never made because for whatever reason I wasn't picked up on in the system, so they're sending me one finally. And the rest of my grants haven't been disbursed yet but they will be. Way to get me all riled up.  :argh!: Meanwhile, I have books to buy.  :argh!: Since I won't have my refund card before next week's classes, I had to apply for credit at the bookstore so I can have my damn texts. I'll just buy them used and resell them on eBay or Amazon myself, and next semester I'll rent what I don't want to keep.

The bookstore also managed to bork my history books, so I have to get them off of Amazon no matter what. Fortunately they're cheap enough. In fact, both of them together are cheaper than each of my other books individually.
