I keep saying how much I hate school and how excited I am to finish my last final tomorrow. However, now that school is out for the summer I am going to have to find a crappy job, and after about 2 days of that, I'm going to have a hankerin for homework. Stacy has been cool enough to make all the money so I can finish school sometime before I'm 40, but she's going to be out of commission because she's having a baby (weak excuse)--meaning I get to tout my almost political science degree skills to potential employers who only want to know how well I can clean a toilet, give someone change
School and the MTC are really similar--when I was in the MTC I hated it after about two days of 12 straight hours in class learning portugese, but when it came time to leave and actually go out and work, I got nervous. I got nervous for a reason, trying to talk to real Brazilians--not MTC teachers trying to act like a tough investigator--would actually matter. I didn't miscalculate, I walked like 10 miles my first day, I couldn't understand anything, and my companion was lame. It will be just like that when I eventually graduate, I'll go work for some lame employer and wish that I could just go back to school. Oh well, I guess I get instant gratification with a crappy summer job--7 bucks an hour--whereas with school, I keep telling myself that someday someone will actually pay me instead of me getting raped by the bookstore and the registrar....the end.

I agree, school is very long and tedious, but the realization of getting a job is even more tedious. Good luck this summer and with Sophie and Sammy!!!
