oh its over

school is over and i got an a- on my last smith paper which is wonderful. as for spanish i don’t know. here’s a good passage from a book i read for class called drop city by t.c. boyle. you should def. pick it up, he’s hilarious.

“Who had she been in high school? Little Miss Nobody. She could have embroidered it on her sweaters, tattoed it across her forehead. And in smaller letters: I AM SHIT, I AM ANONYMOUS, STEP ON ME. PLEASE. She wasn’t voted Most Humorous in her high school yearbook or Best Dancer or Most Likely to Succed, and she wasn’t in the band or the Spanish Club and when her ten-year reunion rolled around nobody would recognize her or have a single memory to share. The guys noticed her, though. In college they did, anyway . . .She dated a few of them, but she’d never had a serious boyfriend, and though she was pretty–she knew she was pretty–she couldn’t figure out why that was, except that something was out of sync, as if she’d been born in the wrong era and the wrong place, especially the wrong place, where nothing ever happened and nobody got anywhere. That’s what it was, she decided, that had to beit, and the notion comforted her through all her disappointments and the cardboard array of days and months and years, each as stiff and unyielding as the one that preceded it. She sat through the banal education classes, Psych 101, faced down the six primary causes of World War I, algorithms and the internal anatomy of the earthworm, thinking there had to be something more” (38)
