so, i just wanted to share this tidbit of my day.
all day today, i heard people compain about school, graduation, professors, and lectures. this girl who works in advanced sales, which is a "department" right behing my "office" complained to my supervisor today about some exit exam she didn't know she was supposed to take for graduation (where do these people go to school?!!!). only, what she said was, "there are these exit exams, and i haven't tooken them yet!"
i kid you not.
people, i work amongst the creme de la creme of the academic world.

for the record...
i just want to be the first to say (and, mind you, it's not out of jealousy or whatnot, but rather, disgust), that the key to getting into john mayer's pants is meeting all of the following requirements:
1. having a name that begins with the letter J
2. being 5'3" or shorter
3. being an airhead
4. having an ample (i.e., DD or larger) bosom
5. faking like you are funny and/or stupidly happy all the time
exhibit A: mayer dated jennifer love hewitt
exhibit B: mayer is currently dating jessica simpson (eeeeeeeeeyyyyuck! i swear, the man has got to do better. she must either be completely different in her non-tv life, or she must be good in bed or whatever, because i just don't see what her redeeming qualities could be.)
on a different note, i want to see "the namesake" sooooooooooo bad!!!

so...
i am now an office drone.
my co-workers are ghetto (it's somewhat of a bad sign when your supervisor says "ax" instead of "ask," isn't it?).
i don't mean to be racist or prejudice, but i feel somewhat at a disadvantage in my new workplace because (1) i am not of hispanic descent, and (2) i don't say, "girl," at the beginning of every sentence.
that is all.
oh, by the way, i got the most amazing news (sarcasm alert!): i will not be graduating this semester afterall!!! yipppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeee...........
despite my best efforts to fulfill my promise of working on my thesis while in texas, dr. fox has taken, what seems like eons, to read my latest friggin' chapter. it is her suggestion that "because we are mid-way into the semester" that "we" should "aim for a fall graduation." great. except there is no fall commencement, which, to me is the main thing i am looking for, because i want my relatives to SEE and VISIT the place i have devoted four years of my life to. no one amongst my generation of cousins, etc., has pursued a master's degree, and i really want the Mantaring side of my family to see that i am not a "professional student," or a failure. for all they know, i sit on my ass all day and philisophize about the meaning of life. they think i just sit and take up space. no one gets it. they don't see the importance of what me and hundreds of actual museum professionals aspire to achieve in the long run. no one sees what i do as work. no one sees that what i've been doing is more than studying and taking tests. boy, do i wish that were all to it!!! i guess, in a way, i'd like a bit of respect and understanding, and some realization that i am trying to pave my way to doing something.
