Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
yelley:
... you had never been there? that is really odd.
i lost my college class ring. for reals this time... i thought i lost it once before, but my friend found it in a bag of lime tostitos a week later. yep.
jhocking:
The only things that are a bigger waste of money than class rings are varsity jackets. I bought the jacket for the school I went to in Egypt, and I never even wore the thing. Try as I might, I cannot recall why I thought it was so important to buy it. I think it might have something to do with Michael J Fox and Teenwolf.
Something Witty:
See, I never got mine, but I wish I had. Class Ring included. But then, I never actually graduated, so whatever. I do wish I had that fucking letter jacket, though. I'd never even wear it, except when meeting people who have, from my friends, built this image of me failing out of highschool, then college, then being jobless and almost homeless for over a year. Showing up in a letter jacket looking presentable would blow people's minds.
Tom:
Class of '08 at my school got their rings at the start of term and all 150 of them wear it with pride.
....wait, 'bout 10 are probably wearing it "ironically", I intend to do the same.
RedLion:
Class rings are such shit. After a few months they don't mean anything, and it's not like you can sell them.
Anyhow, I'm graduating on Friday, and I've just found out that I've got a 16,000 dollar scholarship to the college I'm attending for my vocal audition (500 some students auditioned; I won.) This is..I'm...wow. I guess I know I'm a good singer, but when something like this reinforces it, it shocks me, because I don't really think I'm that good. Further, thanks Professor David Cuthell at Georgetown University, a man I interviewed at length numerous times and is somewhat of a friend, it seems like two years from now I'll be participating in Georgetown's academic program where 20 students from colleges across the country live for a semester in a 17th century mansion on the Mediterranean Coast of Turkey, studying the Turkish language, culture, history and politics, and but mostly, extensive studies of regional events in Europe, the Caucasus and the Middle East, including week-long trips to Greece, France, Armenia, Israel and Syria.
So I'd say that on the whole, things are going in a pretty bright direction at the moment. It's been awhile since I've felt this outright jubilant.
