i was in the library today and i very unfortunately overheard a girl say:

"i am going to go to clinical grad school in a couple years. i want to be a counselor in a high school....BUT i don't want it to be a public high school. you know, i want to counsel kids that are gonna go somewhere--like at a private school. i want to know that the work that i'm doing is helping people go somewhere in life."

OH MY GOODNESS!! do i really go to school with people who say things like this? i mean..i want to know that my work is helping people go somewhere in life too, but i think that is much moreso the case when working with underprivilaged kids in inner-city schools.

i wanted to smack her. then i realized that she was probably not someone that would be good working in public schools, for she is a rich SNOB! so i remained in my seat.

yes, you are sensing correctly. i am very sick of sewanee right now. i got a message from linda today and called corinne. now ryan is im'ing me and i have boston on my mind. i really really really wish that i could have a glimpse of that boston skyline...
