You know what really grinds my gears?

Yesterday as I was hanging out with a couple new friends, I over heard a woman and her daughter discussing college (ASU specifically). I intend to transfer to ASU so I figured I'd jump in. The fees those awful institutions of higher learning charge people! This woman had to pay $75 to walk around orientation with her child. And then, just to sign up for classes, not to attend school, not to buy a book but to sit down with someone while they click about 6 buttons to sign up for classes cost ANOTHER $250. What the fuck? That's so ridiculous. How the hell can we as a society expect for those in our community to educate themselves beyond high school if they have to pay for something new and heinous every time they turn around? And text books! As if one doesn't pay enough for tuition, lab fees, parking permits, and an ID then they make you buy books costing easily over $100 used, sometimes requiring multiple books per class, but it's ok because you can sell it back at the end of the semester for $4. Ridiculous.

And my friends, is my rant of the day.

In other news though, I got both of my nostrils pierced today and they look fuckin gorgeous. I have tiny little faceted opal studs and they're soooooo pretty. I thought adding more opal would make me like my septum ring with the opal bead a bit more, but sadly, it did not. Thus, I decided to change it back to my seamless ring and it hurt so much and bled. Again. Gross. Marilyn (the lovely lady responsible for all my new and replaced nose shinies) spent so much time in my nose. It was weird but definitely a bond experience.

What about you, random reader? Do you have any piercings? Or questions about piercings? Or are you an Arizonan looking for a good piercer?

I don't know what to do with my life right now. I don't know what I want as far as dating or even if I want to date. I don't know how much school I want, or whether I wanna take a semester off. I know I want to be selfish right now and that's it.

On that rather morose note, I think I'll close.
May the force be with you, reader.
