Something a little different

Today I went to an advising appointment at school. The bottom line is that in one year I will be able to graduate, which will mean I knocked out my Bachelor's Degree in 3 years. Awesome! With this accomplishment I feel that is time to move on. Thus, like many who have a half way functioning brain, I shall be moving out of Michigan. This was a tough decision. I have spent my entire life here. Everything I have come to know and love is here in Michigan.

Things that I will miss include but are not limited to:
My family: Nothing like living in a house where both of your parents smoke and you never get to breathe in halfway decent air. I also love the way it makes my clothes, and even my hair smell. I would rather take a bath in sewage than spend any more of my life breathing in the cigarette smoke and having all of my belongings smell. (If you ever read this mom and dad, I love you both, even if you are smokers, and don't worry, I'll come visit, and I'll even let you see your grandchildren provided you do not smoke around them.

The highest unemployment rate in the nation:
I believe this month's unemployment rate is something like 12.8 percent. Nothing makes me more exuberant than the thought of such a large number of people being unemployed. What is awesome about this is if I were to find a job chances are I'd probably be laid off after not too long anyway, probably shortly after I committed to a house. Then I could experience the pleasure of losing my home just like everybody else! Yay!

My convenience store job:
As much as I love my job where people speak to me like I am some sort of vermin or insect all day, I am afraid it is nearly time to move on. Other things I will miss is the shitty schedule. There is nothing better than getting off at 11:00 pm, and returning to work at 7:00 the next morning, except for getting off at 7:00 in the morning and returning at 3:00 pm. I will also miss the occasionally lazy coworkers (those of my coworkers that read this, I am not talking about you, it's the one's who can't read this that are getting called out, plus if I think you're lazy, I'll tell you to your face). There is nothing better than doing 99 percent of all of the work, leaving one really meaningless task to someone, and then finding out that they couldn't even handle that. Awesome!

The wonderful people that Michigan has to offer:
As mentioned before, 12.8 percent unemployment. How joyful do you think people are really going to be? I don't care if you lost your job, you do not need to take it out on me, just because I have one, however crappy as it may be.

The Big 3:
While I will miss the Big 3, and more specifically the UAW who isn't at all selfish. Drive three powerhouse corporations out of business and suddenly everybody is out to get you. I understand and appreciate you for what you are UAW. It is the right of every uneducated worker to have ridiculously awesome benefits, spend their shift avoiding the boss so that they will not be told to do any work, and when out of work for various reasons, to still collect 80 percent of your pay. What is unfair about that?

The wonderful public university system:
This one is a big one for me. When I reach my new home state naturally I will be taking graduate courses. What really pisses me off is that these graduate courses will cost less than my undergraduate courses here in Michigan costed me, because our lovely state doesn't believe in funding the university system, whereas other states actually care. I think that is ridiculous. Why should I pay less when I could pay more in a great state like Michigan, where it will be impossible to pay off my student loans because I won't be able to find a job. The government here has just done so well.
