Breathing a Sigh of Relief

Finals are over! YAY! I am almost sure I didn't pass Biology, but we will have to see when grades come out. I seriously wrote: "Please have mercy on me. I am a senior and I want to graduate on time". We will see... Now its on to pizza and beer and celebrating maybe not a job well done, but a job done nonetheless.

I don't know what is wrong with me but I have been really short with some people lately... I seem to have no patience for them. I am just sick of the routine and need some excitement. So, its off in search of excitement in the next few days before I have to go home.

Enough already

Seriously, if I hear one more thing about Mallory Lane I am going to puke. Yeah, I'd brag about "shacking" it with Vince Vaughn too, I admit it. But whoever is stupid enough to send their entire sorority an email about getting it on (or not) with a celebrity deserves to have their name smeared across the internet tabloids... especially when there are so many girls in your sorority that you probably aren't even friends with half of them, so someone's bound to sell you out... and especially if you're a good wholesome Gamma girl, its just plain funny. Golden shower anyone?

Not that yours truly and others haven't sent mass emails about international sexcapades, but is it not common sense that if you hook up with someone who is famous you should keep it on the DL? I mean, she does go to Trinity... you would think they teach you that being famous means that you and people you know do not have any privacy in Mass Media 101.

I find it hilarious that a reporter from AC questioned the existence of Mallory... so they called Trinity! I am sure Trinity is very very proud of their little homegrown celebrity hook up tabloid star... I can't wait for the Trinitonian to have an article about this. Next thing you know Dean Tuttle is going to be talking to Larry King about it. You go, Gamma Chi Delta... this will "put you on the map" as you say... I think Kelli and Nicole said it best when they said "if that had been a Zeta Chi they would have put us in Hustler already"...

On a side note: Dear Zeta Chi sisters, STOP the Mallory Lane email madness! You are flooding my inbox!

First in a series of crises

In a sad attempt to procrastinate studying for finals and writing essays, I started to ponder what in God's name I am going to do with my life after I graduate in May. There are so many things I want to do, I don't even know where to begin. Yeah, so I will have a bachelor's degree with 3 titles on it, but what does that even mean? Do people actually hire anthropologists who specialize in Latin American cultural studies and speak enough Spanish to translate the menu at Panchitos? No? I didn't think so. Crap.

Right now it's looking like if I actually do get to go back to Chile I will end up working as a hostess at an American restaurant (no offense Ellen and Liz). Its so frustrating! I am a college graduate damnit, I deserve better. I have had this book on getting an international job from career services for 3 months now (its 2 months overdue) and I have read it at least 3 times. Here is a brief synopsis: If you think you are going to get a good job that actually pays a living salary in a foreign country, you are sadly mistaken you ignorant American.

So, I was thinking about maybe working for the national parks service, or taking the Foreign Service Exam next year sometime... I don't know. Damn damn damn.

And then there are the Nate Dern's of the world... what can't he do? Why can't he just not be good at something? Anything!? Its inhuman. Life gives everyone else lemons, but he makes it seem like life gives him a tall glass of already made freshly squeezed lemonade with a little pink umbrella in it... and we are stuck squeezing and deseeding, getting suqirted in the eye by projectile lemon juice. I have nothing against Nate though. I am proud to say I know him, he is a great guy and I wish him all the best. Sincerely, I do. Although I can't help thinking that he will be able to find an amazing job with his anthropology degree... from Harvard. Fuck.

PS- you can catch my friend Nate Dern on season 3 of Beauty and the Geek starting January 3rd. And Nate, if you ever stumble upon this blog, you have always been so nice to me and I really do think you are a great guy. Also... I always had a crush on you in high school.
