So I had an interesting start to my week. The card office was packed all day with international students, i swear they let people go to school here who are unable to speak a work of English. How am i supposed to tell them what i need them to do or what I need from them, but being the skillful communicator that i am i was able to using handle signals and signs. But the one thing that bugs me is the people I had to turn away because they said they did not have the proper forms then came back with some staff/faculty member then showing the right paper work and looking at me like i never asked for those materials. Then they look at me like i was in wrong and am incompetent at doing my very simple job. That kinda of bugs me because that person first impression of me is that i am a moron. I mean sometimes i do come off that way, especially when i meet them while drinking but this time it bugs me because it also reflects on my office itself. Ahh, but whatever, i don't get paid a lot to do anything anyways so they can all to you know where...

The next thing that is on my mind is the guy in union. I am sitting down enjoying TV and he begins to talk to me. He briefly talked to me last week and it seemed like he was trying to sell me something , but never really committed to attempting too. This week he attempted. It was that idea of selling stuff from on-line just through a website and ordering everything, then getting other people to join you and order from you, then they get their friends into it as well. It is a nice way to make money if you are a buy everything on-line person with a lot of friends, who will buy stuff as well, since you get a part of all the profits. Its not me though. It wasn't me 5 years ago when i heard the same proposal. I am not a person who will buy everything on-line, i am much more now buyer and if it cost me 50 cents more for peanut butter to have it now other than waiting 5-7 days, i will do it. You can make a lot of money though, but it is just not me. They guy could have done better had he not seemed so saleman-ie, if he would have every stayed and small talked it would have helped his cause a great deal.

Grad school idea is becoming much more prominent in my own mind. The problem is where and what. The best program is the University of Denver, but it is the most expensive and chances for grants, scholarships, and assistantships are a lot less because it is such a small school (5000 students total). Florida State has a program not nearly as good, about 60% the cost of U of D lots of grants money and scholarships opportunities. Florida International is similar to Florida State. U of Washington has another great program, it is cheaper than U of D but they only begin classes in the fall, no spring admittance..So i don't know. I also need to find people who will give me letters of recommendations and I hope that i do well on the GRE which i will probably be taking at the end of the month.

But there are some positives in right now. I am working for 14 straight days...that means overtime pay...this is my last weekend living in Lafayette before I move in with my brother and commute an hour to work. Then of course I have Oktoberfest at the end of the month with the man, the myth, the legend Jon Keune who sent me a great email this morning with this link...click on it, most of you should appreciate it.(there is audio to it)  Jon Keune in Amsterdam
