La’ Shana Tova!
Hey World,
First of all I would love to extend to you all a big “Happy Jew Year!” It’s a new year in jew-town so I hope everyone rung in 5770 the right way.
Anyway, I’m diggin’ the FILA post and I would love to throw in my two cents on why Forever I Love Atlanta. (OK-K-K????!!)
This semester I said to myself, “Hey L, take it easy this fall and only take 9 hours. Take a useless perspectives class that is only worth 2 credit hours.” I’m really good at talking myself into making useless decisions. So I decided I would take Religion and Musical Diversity.
Before some asshole decided to infect with the plague that is more formally known as H1N1, I was running late to my one 11am class. Since Georgia State is really good at sucking- my class is all the way in the Helen Aderhold Learning Center. Students refer to this building as simply “Aderhold” however; I have affectionately renamed this building Asshole or “A Hole” for short.
As I ran up the stairs of the “A Hole” I heaved and wheezed my way into the lecture hall of 70 or so other students. As I tried to discreetly go to my seat I was startled by my awkward as hell instructor making the whole class of 20 something year olds sing “Row Row Row Your Boat”. I didn’t know what to do with myself.
It’s no secret that being a typical GA State student means you enjoy hating life and the last thing you ever want to do is sing Nursery rhymes in class. I have a soul and a compassionate one at that so I felt bad not singing so, I began to sing her stupid songs. Luckily I know them so well that my professor’s neon lipstick hardly poses a distraction. The girl next to me was not so pleasant for as I looked over at her to see how she approved of this she looked at me and simply said, “I can’t believe I fucking paid for this nonsense.” That is the one and only time she has ever spoken to me.
The students at Georgia State are not exactly the most friendly. Maybe it’s because we don’t share a common bond in our insatiable love for lame football cheers and a good tailgate where you can play ass grab with your best bud in his bow tie and too-short Dockers shorts that give him a nasty moose- knuckle for the world to see on ESPN. Roll Tide Roll! Maybe if Park Oar, not showering or beard growing could make it to ESPN we would all love eachother a little more.
Something to think about, World.
xoxo,
