I Got the Finger

Ha Ha Ha! I got flipped off on the road for the first time this morning. I just had to post because it has never happened to me. [I also have never given the finger, but I have given "the fist" plenty-o-times]. And boy was this guy pissed! lmao. I guess I cut him off, but not intentionally. I swear! I was changing lanes to get to the turning lane and this little bitch sped up! So it's his fault. That's my argument. So he honks at me and as soon as he passes me I notice he is giving me the finger. My cousin, who was in the car with me, and I started busting up! We both returned the favor giving him the double bird in a pumping motion. Classic. This guy was so mad. He was looking back to make sure I saw his finger. I'm sure he began cursing me as soon as he saw all our fingers.

Now that I'm officially in the club I think I'm gonna get myself one of these inflatable flicking the bird hands complete with a pump! So anytime I want to give some one the bird I just give a few squeezes to the pump and Viola! The things people come up with! [shaking head]

Ever feel so - wow - I can't even think of the right words. Let's try again. I just finished watching the movie History Boys and boy do I feel inadequately prepared to ever call myself a Historian.

Let me give you some background. I majored in History. My Bachelors degree is in History. Sure, I focused on U.S. and Mexico's history, but sometimes I feel so unprepared to even begin to think about some day becoming a some-what historian (yes I know i need another 5-7 yrs of schooling). These kids in the movie are beyond smart. I do not want to compare myself, wouldn't even be possible, but the level of history that this kids have learned is beyond me! Just to know that there are people out there that are this smart.....man.....i have no chance. My state university education cannot stand up to the caliber of some of the knowledge private school kids come out with (but not limited to private schools, of course).

I love history. It is my passion. I left the business program to pursue my passion. Something that I have slowly forgotten in the 3 years since I received my degree. Where am I? I ask myself this question almost everyday. I am working in accounting [I hate & suck at math] not even doing "real" accounting work [thank gawd because I failed accounting 3 times]. I sit at a desk and do an average of 2 hours of work, Monday thru Friday, and the rest of the time is spent broadening my knowledge of useless mine numbing facts via the internet. Maybe I should have stuck with my Computer Information Systems major. No.....all I can think about is how bad I want to return to school. I want a masters....a PhD.....I want it all. But am I too late? Sometimes I feel like everything I learned has been filed away in my brain in a key less safe. If I go back to school now, will I be behind? Do I have anything left I can offer to the scholarship? I should....since history is constantly being made.

Fuck it. The phrase of the last couple of months. Fuck it. I'm gonna do it. You can quote me on that. I'm tired of downing myself and making myself feel inadequate. Yes, there are a hell of a lot smarter people out there. But I can and will persevere.

The first step is the hardest, and boy do I hate college applications. So here we go. Guess I better look for some free money too. Dang it sucks to be living paycheck to paycheck!

Oh yeah....the movie. They where so effing smart it inspired me. I was mesmerized. I wanted to be them. I want to ace my A-Levels and pass the test to get into Cambridge. Not really, but close enough. Unfortunately, I don't think my hubby was as inspired. Well....maybe...inspired to take a nap. :-p

testing...testing...

si....si....

Houston...i think we have a blog! Here we go - it's official. Now comes the hard part - what kind of blog will this become. I guess the future holds the answer. Unfortunately I have wasted all my energy on the creation of this blog and now have no idea what to say. Plus, I think I'm getting sick. Guess this means my first real post will have to wait. [good thing no one knows about this blog yet] Until then...

Peace My Bitches
