That's why I have been so interested lately in being part of the Nonprofit world. Most of the nonprofits I know in Mpls, and nationwide, however bureaucratic they become, ultimately have the goal of helping disadvantaged people.. or underrepresented people. ps. i HATE all of these terms. what the fuck do they mean by "underrepresented" or "disadvantaged" or "disenfranchised". i really think these are all words made up by educated bourgeoisie(and when I say educated, I mean people who have enough money to go through the bullshit of graduating from a higher learning institution, this DOES NOT mean you are necessarily intellectual in any way), people that are working at the top of nonprofits or other institutions supposedly trying to educate and help people, but don't really ever get anything done. phew... TANGENT.
Anywaysss.... I want to do something different than just go to school, blow all my money and end u working for people who don't get a crap about anyone but themselves so I can pay off my loans that will be the size of America's debt. And I don't want to be top dog or use words like "disenfranchised". I don't want to do any of that talking at all. I just want to see people rise in their situations, whether that be mentally, socio-economically, spiritually. The greatest thrill is to see this happen and I don't want to spend anymore time of this planet without being part of this experience. This is the greatest gift humanity has to share with each other.
I have now been accepted into Hamline School of Law, William Mitchell School of Law, and the University of New Hampshire School of Law. Ahhh... yess sooo very brilliant. BARF. They better fucking accept me all the money I have already given them and might spend there. jesus.
I guess I more worried that law school isn't the right place for me at all. I hear that even William Mitchell is filled with a bunch of know-it-alls just trying to prove to everyone else around them how SMART they are. how many SMART things they can say in just one day. I kind of like being in the working world and knowing that when I am spending my time somewhere, I am being able to pay for the things in my life. I just wish that there was a little more options in these here crayon box. I don't like red or blue... i like periwinkle!
There will be more posts to come on this EXTREMELY interesting topic... ugh.
BUTTT... in other news,
My roomie, a roomie with several names... one being T.M.F. (too much fun) to be known here as cait, was a saint to me today. With all the boy problems and drama that we will one day both look back on and think, WHAT THE HELL WERE WE THINKING! were we NUTS?! Cait made me feel today that I am still a human being that needs to take a couple breaths and not be so worried about worrying... about worrying... sometimes, these are the people that really bring you back up even for a just a little bit and realize that you are not the only one alone out there. We are all struggling.
For this reason and really all the reasons spoken of above... we will drink tonight! Bc honestly, with so many decisions, so much and drama, and a temperature of -5 degrees... what the hell else is there to do!
Here's to my ladies!!!
Oh yes, and for anyone out there in the world of the internets, and happens to stumble upon this lonesome little blog, we will be going to this show to see my friend Chris Hooks and his band, the Tribe and Big Cats, play at their CD release show. It will be great. And if you want a glimpse of just how awesome they are.. watch their new video. you will see the following: skinny hipsters attempting to chop wood, U of Stout ladies goin out BIG, and a pretty black man sliding on the floor. awww snap.
TGIF.
