| I have become increasingly bad at updating xanga.....i can't believe it's been three months since I've said anything. well, i'm on a detox. i hope it's working. the doctor says it is, but i'm not seeing everything i think i should be seeing. but it's only been three weeks, so maybe it just takes time. i wonder if anyone else i know has heard about the university of greenwich? no one in the roosevelt offices has, but that's not all that strange considering that when i asked about several other universities, only one of my former professors had a little bit of knowledge about one other program. so, i figure that this lack of knowledge can be interpreted only one of two ways: a) everyone at roosevelt only wants people to go there for any type of higher education, or b) no one knows what the hell they're talking about because they've never heard of anyone they know wanting to do this before. but if i was going to be frank, i would have to divulge that i think they are paid to think the former. i am really glad that my parents never forced me to have tons of extra-curricular activities when i was a child. there have been times where i wish they had made me stick with something...but let's face it--i never really wanted to learn karate. i always did hate precision. (ok, i still do like to watch other people do things like karate and choreographed dance and then comment on their precision....is that a double standard?) other things would have been nice, though. portuguese, quilting, squash, how to start an investment fund at the age of 8, carpentry, mosaics....but i feel bad for my cousin. i know my uncle and aunt are trying to do what's best for her and have her live a well-rounded life, but the kid has barely any free time. i just hope she enjoys her life. |
