oooOOOooooOOooohhhHHhhhhHHHhhh. . .
I dunnno. . .
pppsssshhhhhh. . .
mmmmMMMMMMMmmmmmmm. . .
school.
No matter how badly I wiggle in the "floaties" on my arms im still just a hot.mess.
caught in wave after wave of of water, higher, faster and stronger than me.
my make up is streeeeaming down my face and blue hair is all but Capoout!
Interntaional student indeed!
lets break it down;
For me to be able to stay in the good 'ol US of A, I must maintain my F1 status. this is the status of an international student and as per the college's rules that means a full time student which is 12 units per semester. example - easier class is worth one or two credits, hard class could be five ect.
Well registering for classes for the regular students happened ohhhh I dunno a few months ago. International students?
today.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
Oh. ..I didnt mention that we are not allowed legally to work for the first nine months of school right? oh yeah so im broke. this means I need no MUST, NO! CAN ONLY FINISH THIS PROGRAM IF I FINISH IT THIS YEAR. I cant afford to go for a second year as an International student!!! They pay thooouuusands more than the regular students and last time I checked, I have yet to poop golden nuggets.
Alas I get to the international students office and sit down with the others.
check the computers.
there are no classes left.
none.
0_o . . .
*Blood boils.
not even just in my program but like AT ALL.
There are noticeable fist crumple marks on my papers when I release my death grip on them.
okay well I guess i'll just um. . . put myself on waiting lists. . .
Oh CAMMON waiting number 26?!
class 2 - waiting line number 28.
twenty m0*$^rF*&k!ng EIGHT. . .
At the juncture in time my brain is about to Explode.
Several slash ALL of the classes that I need to get into I cant even put myself on the waiting list for because you need to be doing another jam packed class as a co-requisite!
. . . so your telling me that no matter how hard I try, unless these teachers take me in and let me sit on the class that I cannot physically finish in oneyear?
- Yes.
- Okay well what am I supposed to do? a second year isn't an option for me.
- Im sorry.
Now I have a feeling that they are not infact sorry and believe me.
I aint takin this lying down. Push me aside? ppfffttt we'll see.
I will bring sleeping bags and camp outside of the class if i need to. AAArrrrggggg
O O

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Today I was a grumpy bear.
Needing to have at least 12 units, I tried my luck on other waiting lists.
As it stands I am number 1 on the waiting list for "Vegetarian Life style cooking" (*even though I am a meatasaurus. . . but More and more i've been leaning to the ' Veggiepreferian' side.)
10th on the docket for "Hip Hop History" (*Thanks be to sweet baby hey zeus that I packed my Easy E shirt)
the next on the list will be interpretive dance for beginners.
Get. the . Eff. Out. Of . My. Way.
So as I sit jobless and I wait. Its a club my International friends and I are in.
The Jobless Waiters Club
