sad + happy

it's been a crazy week... and it's only tuesday. i spent today getting official college stamps, signatures, recommendations, and transcripts ready to send in for a scholarship {xx fingers crossed xx}. i don't want to be in school. is that bad? i find the entire school system utterly and completely ridiculous. mostly because professors fill our minds with information that we hold onto long enough to barf up onto an exam. we are required to take so many courses that have nothing to do with what we want to do, and if you find one you do want to do, there's an infinite list of prerequisite classes you must take. if we could all learn what we wanted to learn at our own pace and through methods that don't test what we think possibly remember but really only know how to regurgitate, we might actually have harder workers, dream chasers, and a happy successful environment to enter after college.

this is what i enjoy. can i take a class on better design? networking? photography for simple cameras? html? maybe even an advanced sewing class? psssh. no tasmin, you silly girl. you don't have the prerequisites for half of those and the other half are fake. i guess i'll google it.

in the meantime, i will share some happy things with you! here are a couple blog posts i especially enjoyed today.
