Grindin Away

Last night had to be one of the most oddest experiences in quite some time. After work yesterday, I got home, cleaned up a bit, ate dinner, and hit up the PS2 for a while before class. I think that the idea of being back in a classroom setting hadn't quite set in, or maybe it was the idea of being around an undergraduate atmosphere that trully had not set it. So by 7:20 I was on my way to my first M.B.A class (Econ: Managing the Value Chain, or something like that). I got there about 15mins early, just in case I got lost or couldn't find the right class, even though I knew the class number. So anywho, I open the door to the Business Building, and behold, what do I find......a slew of people there at 8:00 at night. I had about 2 or 3 seconds of overwhelmingness (dunno if its a word, but see disclaimer #1), but afterwards I was cool. So the classroom number on the printout said Room 382...and the first class I saw on the floor said 382A. So Im thinking, "there must be a 382A & 382B, so I'll just choose the first one. So I sit down, and try to get a feel for who else is in the class, when more and more I see less and less "working people" coming into the class. Nothing against undergraduates, 'cause I just left there about 4 months ago, but I was beginning to get a little iffy about KSU, lol. So after some conversation with another individual in the class, I quietly got up and walked my happy behind up outta there and went next door to what I thought was going to be Room 382B.......but just like the print out said it was Room 382.

Class was cool though. Even though it was 2hr & 45mins long, the professor seems as if he can help time go by fast. I don't want to break down and by this book though. Its like one of those hand made books that cost about $5.00 to make and they are selling it for $72.00. What a rip off! But I guess I need to break down and buy it within the next two or three days, since we have 3 chapters to read before next class, and I really wanna start off on a good note. I learned that from undergrad. Get all the A's you can while you are just starting off, so if you gump off later, your GPA will still survive.

As the Professor was calling roll & got to my name, I'd figured he'd screw it up, but needless to say he didn't tear my name about too much, he looked at me and said just what everyone else says...

"You look like somebody"

A quote I'd always love to reply with:

"Your right, cause I am somebody"

But I can never muster up enough to tell a professor, who can dictate my grade, my sentiments, lol.

side note: I always get the comment that I look like the guy from "Waiting to Exhale". You know the bad guy, who cheated on his ole lady. The same bad guy who was in SoulFood and cheated on his ole lady, with her sister. Doesn't bode to well for me, huh? Anywho, class was good, learned a lot, mostly about Game Theory, but I don't want to write on that just yet. At least not until I get a good understanding of it.

Instead of constantly creating post about my rants/frustrations or vice versa, I've decided to do a rants & raves column instead. So that I can just post all of that stuff here inside the post.

Rants & Raves:

I swear, if another woman approaches me that has kid(s), I am going to lose my freakin mind. Do I look like someones Dad or something? Just because I have a job, do they think I'm the one who is suppose to "support' them?????? Don't get me wrong, cause I don't want to be judgemental about women who have kids...heck my mom went through the same thing. But here is the kicker...instead of just "being cool" and "building a friendship" first, these chicks are looking to dive right in. I'm like, ok, yeah you're cool and all, but I'm 22, in grad school, paying off my own dang debts, living in an apartment with a roommate....what can I possibly do for you and/or your child in a supporting role. Now I'm in now way bashing women on a basis of having pre-marital kids, I'm just giving you my experiences. I could care less if she has kids or not, but if you are interested in me, just let it grow......be easy......enjoy time......that doesn't always include the "three letter word that got you in the position you are now"......
