Just everything's kind of wrong with me right now. It's a long list...I think I'm going to go get something to eat. Hunger's probably making things worse...

Streamjumper teh CB Augh. Ended up going to bed around 4. Still running strong at the moment, but I'm just waiting to collapse. One month. Less than. Then it's summer. Then a couple weeks after that is Maaaaaaaine. What part of Maine? And what for? Hell, if Luna and I aren't doing anything around then and your schedule isn't too tight, maybe we'll head up that way to visit my cousins and arrange to meet you up there for dinner or something. I'll be in Orono at the University of Maine for their summer program in supercomputing. I have no idea what my schedule and stuff looks like yet, I think they're still finalizing the students for the program, but I'll let you know when I do :]

RaeRae Rave Uh yeah, so, I was just turned down for even the chance to get into a class because it's apparently an honors course (which wasn't written in the course description for the English offerings brochure). What pisses me off though is that when he wrote me off and said that he thinks it'll fill with honors students, it just sounded condescending and I really felt like he was implying I'm stupid, which I haven't felt from someone at school since my guidance counselor outright told me that I wasn't smart enough to take pre-calc (which I did great in, by the way, after I went and overrided his input with permission from the math department).
It just feels sucky, because I would be an honors student if I hadn't had to take calculus or geology because of my earlier major, and I could get pretty damn good recommendations from two of the better writing teachers in the English department.
I'm smart, and I'm a good writer, and I shouldn't have to be spoken down to by him. Wow, turned down even the chance? He won't even consider giving you space if there's both room and you have recommendations from other Profs? That's really too bad... but did you really want to spend a semester with someone like that?

So many red eyes... @_@ I've fixed all the pictures now, so now it's a matter of getting them up on photobucket and every other place I wanted to get them up on (which is a lot). Bed time.

I'm smart, and I'm a good writer, and I shouldn't have to be spoken down to by him. I'm sorry to hear that Rave, but I think you deserve a fair chance to take that course if you're feeling up to it. I've been in thje same situation before when I was about to take English class at School. Apparently I wasn't good at the language and would fair horribly, I'm very sure four years later you guys have no clue what I'm typing since my English sucks. I've known you for a long time Rave and I can say without a doubt that you aren't stupid, you're very mature about your life and you also look at everything from a understanding and mature perspective (which I wish some of the people from your age did). Don't let this guy get to you and do your best to prove him wrong, if anything I'm sure you can accomplish this.

iBarty RaeRae Rave iBarty So like...there were a lot of fat Sailor Scouts. There was one that fit who they were supposed to be, and there was one other that kind of did..otherwise, wow. Lotsa fat. Not that I care, because I wanted the pictures anyway of Sailor Scouts being a fan and all.. But it just made me wonder if the majority of the girl fans for it are overweight.
You can't really generalize weight in comparison with fandom.
And as someone who is both overweight, and a huge Sailor Moon fan, I keep going back and forth on whether or not this might offend me a little... sweatdrop
I'll admit, I can be a mean person at times (I've laughed at a mentally ill kid before, but at the time I didn't realize it and it was mostly because of what my co-worker was doing at the time) so even if I don't mean to offend it'll come off as rude.
Not really sure what else to say about it..though I expect you'll be mad now. Which is fine, it's justified.
The only time I expect apologies is when someone blatantly disrespects me, and that hasn't ever happened in the guild forums.

I'm not so upset that I can't take the class because he doesn't sound like the type of person I want to associate with at all.
I'm just upset that he treated me like that (and made it so incredibly obvious), because a 3.0 that's rising isn't bad. I was recommended for the honors program by a writing teacher and am only not in it because my grade was still suffering from earlier calc and geo grades. I've been recommended to be a tutor in our writing center, and the teacher who runs the writing center is pushing me to take up the offer because I have a class with her and have been getting 90+ (and 100+ several times) on everything in her class. I was one out of 23 (out of the entire freshman class) students invited to accelerated chemistry - obviously I'm not stupid. I was at writing level 4 the second semester of my freshman year even though it's not recommended that you get there till your junior year. I was bumped up immediately after the introductory comp course- most students have to go on to writing level 3. I'm probably a better writer than a few of those kids who'll get in just because they have a 3.5,
but he's still going to talk to me like I don't even deserve the chance if there's still room and imply that I'm not intelligent enough?
@Rachel: I don't even want to bother. Someone who treats me like I don't belong there isn't someone I want to take a class with.
Ugh. He's a stupidhead.
Thanks you guys for being un-suckily-awesome heart

We'll be in the Biddeford area, so it shouldn't be too difficult to meet up somewhere to hang out. If you like seafood maybe we'll hit one of the clam shacks... you can't come to New England without eating at one.
