Pleasantville.

I am malnourished.
Under studied.
Over worked.
Highly caffeinated.
Fighting emotion.
Drained of creativity.
But highly compensated.

Ready to commit myself to an institution because it would be the only
uncontested escape I could manage.

I am drowning in typefaces, alignment, and witty copy.
I am dreaming of crop marks, glossy paper, and photoshop.

Each minute adds to agony.
Each moment multiplies the misery.

But the circumstances are rendered insignificant by other threats.
Joblessness, a less fabulous life, no money to purchase pretty things.

Vacation, please?
Things must get worse before they get better.
Is that some sort of tacit agreement of the human condition?

I have taken sanctuary in my parents' home while they are touring Las
Vegas which at least means I can utilize their expensive driving
machines, well-stocked pantry, and high definition televisions.

Oh suburbia, how I do sometimes miss you and your expansive roadways
filled with fat ladies driving minivans at high speeds on a mission to
Target in order to fulfill the material demands of their spoiled,
screaming children. Okay, not really.

Don't worry, OK? All of these bad academic things will end soon. That is, unless you decide to go on to graduate school. If so, be forewarned.

I don't really consider business school to be as academically rigorous as graduate school, so I am not so concerned with that.

About Me

I like run-on sentences and also syntax based loosely on the approved constructs of grammar.
