Tech’mares and Dumbing Down

~~ WARNING: Long ass, VERY angry entry ahead ~~

Ok, so first of all. Not only am I exhausted as hell from rehearsal, and sick and motherfucking tired of driving to BFE everyday, but also rehearsal sucked both my titties and my ass. My mic pack kept flopping out and yanking my head and stopping me from doing the dances, I kept stepping on the fucking ribbons on my pants and yanking them off (I am now up to 11), forget about my thigh tights which will not stay up, and the poor orchestra had no clue what tempos to play any of the songs I was in, so they sucked.  And I mean they SUCKED. We’re not given any time to fix it or set the songs, so I can only imagine what the hell it is going to sound and look like on opening night. How’s that for publicity for the show? On a positive note, the lights look freaking awesome. Tomorrow had sure as hell better go better than tonight. Hate to be pessimistic, but unless we get a chance to work with the orchestra, the numbers are going to suffer. I am soooooooooo over it.

School today. Not only was I fucking bored sitting in class for two and a half hours. But my class that I teach informed me that all of them knew each other because they are a part of the PEP program….the university equivalent to GOALS programs in high schools. Now, this severely pisses me off, not because I think they are idiots and I got stuck with a bunch of rejects, no no no, I am pissed because they even have a program like that where students are placed simply because of their low SAT scores. They have their classes picked for them for one year. They mess up once and they are out of the program and therefore out of school; all 150 students in the program are housed together in the WORST dorm on campus with another “underachievement” group, they are led around on field trips, and have to meet with counselors every week. They are not allowed to drop out of classes or withdraw for ANY reason.

What the FUCK is wrong with universities? These poor kids feel like they are stupid and are being treated like stupid people. I made sure to assure them that they are going to be treated like every other student by me and will not have it easy because of the program. This is ridiculous to strip students of their most basic dignities and rights. They can’t even enjoy their first year of college. They can’t live where they want to, have jobs, or have cars. I am so glad I am getting out of this motherfucking system.

KISS MY ROYAL FUCKING ASS!

Now….how’s that for an angry rant? And Sara, if I were in your place, you know I would climb out on the balcony and get all ghetto on their asses.
