school drama

sometimes I wish my past could hold more credibility. Mostly in regards to school. Not to demean my highschool's academic caliber, but Picture Butte isn't your elite, highly populated city, littered with big names and big faces. In fact, i wouldn't even be surprised if it's location was excluded on a map of southern alberta's backroads. Its probably catagorized under "dung-heap boonieland" with a used car dealership as its main attraction. Regardless of how good my marks may have been, Harvard would laugh in my face and probably tell me to work as a journalist for "farm show magazine". I need to become friends with "the richies" and have them throw in some extra incentive. *sigh* i will accept my fate as small town girl with high expectations.
how i hate settling my goals.....
at least i have a life that would make for a great shakespear play. minus the cryptic suicide and dysfunctional families....

the knowledge aquired by being taught by the best of the best would be so gratifying. and its competitive. you should know all to well that competition is my guilty pleasure.

No university will look at your highschool marks after you have 2 years of university credits...Harvard included.

You should
look at
Berkeley instead.
Better environs, less snobbery.

Don't underestimate small-townery,
theres something about farm life that I love...
and there's something to be said
for having a crayon up your nose.

good ol' Cali-Forn-I-A

Berkely would be pretty awsome, but what would you do... And hey think just about everyone has had a crayon up there nose at some point.

You'd even become a surfer girl living in Orange County.. and you'd have to find that adrian brody guy hehe. I remember our little talk about cali :P

I even -sorta- know a 24 year old surfer girl down there too. her name's savanna.. (cool name i think..)

what I meant is, there is something to be said for a life of quiet simplicity. Wealth and knowledge can sap freedom just like ignorance and poverty.

seriously though,
combining is great like butter.
