Fast Food Nation
I’m about 2.5 hours into a 3.5 hour layover. I’ve had 2 Chai Tea lattes, both talls, so I don’t feel guilty and because they’ll ultimately only help me pass out on the second leg of the flight. Things with espresso and sugar are good for energy rushes and crashes. I’ve been fucking around online. I continued from where I left off on the UCLA application with the same hopelessly lofty goals of sneaking in despite their unit cutoff. Then a few more pages in I was informed that the only UC even accepting applications right now is UC Merced. I pouted.
So I logged onto the CSU application system to at least apply to CSU Long Beach because I need a back up plan stat and by all measurable accounts it’s better than CSULA. They didn’t even let me get a few pages in. I couldn’t open up the application. There was just a splash page up that said due to the budget crisis they’re not accepting applications either. I pouted harder.
I called a few people to whine. I twittered about it and how this might play into my future as a burger flipper. I got a lot of responses telling me to be a waitress and somehow I think the joke backfired. I was reminded that there is always Sac State and I missed it but I’m not moving. I like downtown and the bums who hit on me and the thugs who try to sell me crack and the cockroaches that can’t be killed. I just spent $1500 making sure my patio was good for Sammy. Now I have roots.
I could always continue indefinitely with what I’m doing now. I could rack up more classes that I don’t need but at least look forward to. I’ll just keep getting little AAs that I don’t hang up because when I do visitors always ask what an AA is and I tell them it’s a degree-lite. Half the calories.
I logged back in to the school I’m at now to check my schedule. 12 units, six of which matter (as always, the six units I don’t care for) who needs a women’s health class?))…. MTW classes and due to the budget crisis, I owed an additional $6 per unit. I paid and started to wonder what every other CA resident is doing right now. I remember being 17 and having to wring paychecks dry to pay for school. I’m lucky. I’m financially stable at a young age. My problem is I can’t figure out what the hell I want to do in life and plan or don’t plan accordingly. Is CA setting itself up for a generation of burger flippers?
