GO...

Today is NOT going well. Math is proving impossible, I hate it, wish I could drop it, why did I EVER take it? Fuck fuck fuck.
Classmates lied, could not find ‘Paris is Burning’ online anywhere.
It is 4:30 pm and I’ve barely accomplished a thing.
Kids, college sucks. Trust me.

I was just singing this, and remembered from, I think, September, singing it in the kitchen while Dad fixed something to eat and Mom sat at the table. Dad joined in on the gruff-voiced “Sunday’d be too late!”
Yeah, Daddy, it was. That one week in February, by Sunday, you were gone.

Marxism meets campus social strata:
(Two kids in a library).
Guy 1: So I was in class and I heard someone refer to hipsters as the Doucheoisie.
Guy 2: So, what does that make fratboys? The Broletariat?
Guy 1: Well it does make sense if you think about it. We always see a struggle between the broletariat and the doucheoisie.
