Dear Highly Educated,
As I was responding to your last blog entry in which you yet again shared useful information you learned in college, I began pondering the vocabulary that people pick up in their common speech. My pondering was interrupted however, when my focus was brought to the guy who kept passing my desk back and forth in the hallway as he talked on his cell phone. As my eavesdropping began, I caught the tail end of his conversation which sounded a little something like this: "Uh huh. Yep. Alright. Awesome Blossom. Bye." uh....
I promptly caught his attention. "Awesome blossom? Really? This is the kind of education you are receiving at this institute? What kind of guy says 'awesome blossom' in response to anything- ever? Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was attending the University of nonsensical rhyming...can you tell me which class I can find Yertle the Turtle in, or...?" Okay, maybe I didn't say that out loud. But I sure said it to him in my head. I think he got the message though, because my intense stare as I thought these things seemed to make him a little fidgety and he went along on his way.
It has come to my realization that it is time for me to transfer. I am just not getting the same kind of education here as you. Hurry and send my transcripts to Hawaii.
Sincerely,
Slacker-School Student
