Scammed
My good friend Chris was just scammed. Perhaps the old addage applies, if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. He is the fundraising chairman for the House this semester. He thought he had found a great fundraiser for us all, unfortunately Campus Fundraisers misled him and said that the amount of money that we made did not depend on the performance of those people going around and getting applications filled out. Unfortunately when the credit card selling advisor came today she said that everyone in the group had to get at least 10 signatures in order for us to get the amount we were told. Totally misled by the guy at Campus Fundraisers.
There has been several people in the past few days who are on the periphary of my sphere of acquaintance who have died. My closest friend Jon had his grandfather pass away this weekend, the brother of one of my clients and friends Keith Becker died in a car accident this weekend also. Then today I found out that a person who went to college here, and had been in several classes with me had committed suicide on Monday.
All this week I have felt pretty good though. I have been spending a lot of time with Becca and things are going really well there, but I have a lot of other stuff going on too so sometimes I should probably muster the motivation to do my homework too. There are probably about 10 websites that I am responsible for right now. All at different stages of development. It kinda gets to be a lot for my senior year. Priorities are never easy to figure out.
Perhaps we could petition God to add another day to the week. Preferably a weekend day. Yeah, we could call it Jaunterday. I don’t know why I picked that name, just because it sounds cool. Three day weekends and a five day work week, that’s my campaign platform for president. I heard once that the Nazi’s did experiments to see if people were more efficient or less with different work week schedules and they found that the 7 day week was the best one, 5 on 2 off. So I guess that may not actually work.
I heard that there are high-schools that have switched to a 4 day school week and extended their terms. Man I really did not like high-school. Seriously this is turning into a rant, but highschool pretty much sucked everywhere I went. I attended 3 different high-schools and they were all craptacular in their own special ways. Hickville (Wakefield) Nebraska was enlightening, Sergeant Bluff, Iowa was preppy and offensive, oh and let’s not forget Lawton, Iowa. Thats the school where the highest goal of graduating seniors is to make it to the five year reunion without getting a felony. College, hah.
