guided by a new era

I JUST GOT INTO KALAMAZOO COLLEGE AND THEY ARE GIVING ME THEIR PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP OF $48,000.

omg omg omg omg omggggggg.

- So the deal with the U of M application is that, because the teacher letter of recommendation came late, they can't look at the application until all the components are in, and looking at one application can take up to two months, they have not yet come to a decision about my application. They know that I tried to apply early action and will take that into account, it's simply a matter of the amount of time it takes to look at the application. This makes me feel a lot better.

- There are four movies I want to see: Slumdog Millionaire, Milk (going to see it this Friday), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Gran Torino. For once I actually like a lot of the movies that are in the running for lots of Oscar nominations.

- UGH FINALS. Three essays, a project and a test. BLEHHH.

- My students in LGBT studies are writing their final research essays on very interesting topics. One is writing about the treatment of homosexuals in apartheid South Africa and the other is doing homosexuality in pre-British-fucking-up China. I am excited to read their essays.

Dear Calvin College and all other religious universities that keep emailing me,

GO AWAY. I specified on my PSAT that I want to go to a NON-AFFILIATED SCHOOL. Non-affiliated =/= Jesuit. Non-affiliated =/= Catholic. Non-affiliated = no association with a specific religion or faith. I do not want to strengthen my relationship with Jesus. I do not want to broaden my faith. I do not have a faith. Kindly stalk the students at some Catholic school instead of me, the lesbian who attends a hippie liberal arts high school.

I gave St. Mary's a chance. I looked at their list of Student Organizations to see what the student body was interested in. Not only was there no GSA (surprise, surprise), but there was no College Democrats. However, there was a College Republicans and St. Mary's Right to Life! :D
