Cement Girl

Although I didn't have any classes, i didn't go to practicum and I didn't work, I had a fairly busy day.

Spent my morning making cookies.

At 1pm our school had a budget forum which was really awesome. It came from the group project my group did in leadership class last year, and one of our guys gave the presentation. Then the president of our school, a business professor, our asb president, and our accounting guy sat on a panel and fielded questions. I really think we are privileged to be able to even get a glimpse of the budget and be able to ask questions about it, and to do it as a community of people.

The best part, however, was when lizy, natalie and I left and we started making fun of people. not making fun of PEOPLE, but making fun of them asking more than one question (which was bad etiquette... we were told that on paper, and then by someone before q&a time) and how they would continue to ask questions about the same thing, or over something that had already been explained. So we were mocking.

"ummm can you tell me why i pay a lot to go to this school and i don't see improvements being made?" (already been asked a million times, and explained a million and one times)

"ummm... i think it's really stupid that this school costs so much but i can go to the community college down the street and have a lot more resources... I mean, i know i'm totally overlooking the fact that a community college is funded a LOT by the government, but i just don't understand why this.. is happening... umm... what's happening?" (the last part wasn't said, but the first part was.. DUH PEOPLE!)

"ummm... can everyone just have their own golf cart? i mean, we are paying a lot of money to go here... please? golf cart?" (me just being stupid)

Oh I also loved the part with this one sophomore got up to say "i am wondering how we are going to balance the demand of admissions and incoming freshman, how we're going to be able to take care of them with what we have.. i mean, i got kicked out of the dorms this year and had to live in the apartments.."

to which our president says "aaron, that's not why you were kicked out of the dorms". good laugh for all who were present. our president is so cute.
