Public University's Number One Enemy Has Arrived...

Isn't it hilarious? I swear its just absolutely fucking hysterical. How one day you can be having just the greatest day ever created on the planet, and within the space of twelve hours you feel like you're trapped in the coals of Hell? Well when I was having a good time, I had seen Beyonce and all of them and everything was good. My train tickets were 39.00 bucks rounnd trip, and everything was hot. But then, when shit hit the fan, it covered everything.

First Char Safley informs me (my Vocational Rehab officer) that she might not be able to give me my fall money because my mother was trying to outmsart the system and move me to Chicago on the records. Then, I find out that I left my wallet at my mom's house, then I get here and I find out by talking to my counselor today, that when I was regaling my story to this guy John Arnold (who knows me from elementary school), that a bunch of parents were listening to our conversation when I informed John that I HAD been seeking legal action against the university for their actions regarding last winter. She informs me that the parents were not too pleased, and now everyone's blaming me. She also tells me that she doesn't believe a word I said when I spoke to her about Hansen (theatre teacher) about how he refuses to move his class. She says the class was full, and that I registered late. A flat out lie. I was here two days before classes began. She tells me that she thinks we have a "trust breach," and that she can't believe what I tell her. But as I was sitting there, I was thinking that perhaps I shouldn't return to her as a therapist. Because Mary Helen and the others are there in that office, they have the university's perspective to back up on when things don't look quite right. And so it makes me look bad. And I flat out told her that I think that the university was only saying that because it wanted to cover up for the mistakes that they've been making since I been here. They seem to think that since I have this uncanny knack for pulling out the flaws in their supposed "perfect system" that I'm the enemy of the university. But I told her that I'm not stupid. And just because the people in the higher chains allow themselves to be polluted by that bullshit, it doesn't mean that the rest of us have to fall in line with it.

Hmmm...the Ultimate Concert Review...

....okay, so I've been putting this off for a day so I could get my thoughts together in preparation of writing this. This weekend was simply put...INSANE. My parents totally changed our house, and they bought VERSACE furniture. It is absolutely gorgeous. It is the pennicle of everything that I would have wanted to see. New York City furniture in our house. It was fantastic. Gold and brown with the Versace logo all over the place. I bet it must have a cost a fortune! And then along with that, they've finally finished the third floor of our house. It looks magnificent. Wood and marble floors, the theatre complete with a gigantic television, the bar, the exercise room, everything. It is awesome! And then that was only the tip of the iceberg.

Sunday night, we got to see DESTINY'S CHILD in concert. I was staring at Beyonce and the crew the whole time. I couldn't believe that I was staring at the girls of my idols half my life. She was actually there in real life, and the concert was fabulous. The greatest thing ever. Amerie, Mario, and Tyra were there too. They did everything from their whole career from Bills, Bills, Bills to Say My Name to Survivor to No, No, No, to Lose My Breath and Soldier. It was beyond words as far as concerts go. The funniest part was, my brother was actually going to go up on stage when Michelle asked him to come up so they could do "Cater 2 U" but he got nervous and sat down, and so she picked someone else instead. What a dork!

Oh so much fun! But now I'm back in Pembroke, and it's back to life as usual. Oh well...
