Community College and what it's done to my reasoning skills as evidenced below.

As some of you know (Yes, I am looking at you, mom) I am now attending a community college. I know, huge shock, no one saw this coming, right?
Anyway, while my classes themselves are fine, they are like any other class I have taken with mildly more sullen students in them. That's not the point though. Yesterday when I was on campus we had some Colonists on campus.
They were in the main quad, their banners were set up, they had the 1st amendment written in fancy colonial script all over the place. These folks were so dedicated to their cause they even had costumes, we had at least three George Washingtons wandering around. The colonist who were either too poor or lacking in dedication, showed their support to the cause by wearing "don't tread on me" T-shirts.
Now, I'd like to establish now that I don't have any particular issue with these people setting up camp in my quad. The Gay Straight Alliance people were there last week, although they didn't take up THE ENTIRE QUAD WHERE PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO WALK, they just had one little booth. I would also like to add that last week was club week, I signed up for the AMSA (American Medical Student Association).
I'm not sure who these old white geisers thought they were, but they were in my walking space looking silly.  I included the 1st amendment at the bottom of the page.
I was gratified to hear that the other students on campus were calling this clan of costume wearing old men the Tea Party. One clever boy walking by me said, "The Tea Party is Occupying the Quad."
Ok, not really sure where this was going. I can't remember what the point I was trying to make was. I happen to like the first amendment. I'm not sure what those Don't Tread on me Folks were doing with it though. From what I understand, I don't usually agree with anything they have to say.

But that is essentially what community college has been like for me so far. Weird people, sometimes in costumes, wandering around, not making clear points. I have also gotten to know the administration people because I keep having issues fitting into their box-like system.

I understand why the community college system has to be box-like because they have a lot of students to serve and there need to be fixed processes and not short-cuts and roundabouts if every one is going to have a fair and equal chance at an education. 

Ok, I'm going to watch a TV show and then study for my math test.

Hi Again

Hey guys,
I haven't posted in a while and while I would like to say it was because I was busy it's really because I've been lazy. That is not to say that I haven't been busy, I have, but I've also been lazy and I could be busier.

So, I think that I would get more traffic on my site if I actually made it about something. This blog will eventually become  my travel/story blog. Once I get going around the world and I (crosses fingers) am awarded the Presidential Scholarship for Semester at Sea.

I don't think I have told you about this scholarship. What I get is a full-ride scholarship. What I have to do: Set up visits with all the schools where the ship will be going, talk to a bunch of kids who don't really speak English, tell them stories, have them tell me stories, write all the stories down, make a blog, make a book, edit the whole darn thing, add a conclusion and an introduction, throw in a couple pictures (Cause why not?) get the thang published. I also have to take a full-course load of classes, travel around the world, get my passport, visas, travel immunizations worked out, get to San Diego, and get home from London.

Now, I want to make it clear that I have not been awarded this scholarship, but I am really really really hoping that I get it because I am super excited for this trip. Also, if you guys are excited for me too, you can donate to my GoFundMe page: http://www.gofundme.com/semesterofadventure
