So, you say you wanna be a doctor??






So it begins-


Meeting to get started on the whole prelim thing. . .wow, this is really geting serious! Can I really pull this off? Tune in folks, as the stomach churns. . .


See, the whole time I have been going to class, semester in, semester out, bitch bitch, bitch- classes suck, adjuncting REALLY REALLY REALLY suck, well the pay, NOT the teaching, I LOVE my students who are so sassy and give me grief. . .the pay? My summer class, online, 17 students? I will net a whopping 3.73 cents an hour. . .which is 5 dollars an hour LESS than my McDonalds pay, and 4.27 cents less than my Merry Maids pay. . .good thing I am not doing anything important like teaching critical thinking skills or social things. . .whew! (oooh the sarcasm is ESPECIALLY chilly today). In the big picture- I command more respect from my coworkers at either of the above mentioned job than I do from some of the faculty at my adjunct nation. . .which is only worth it because saying you are adjunct faculty sounds SOOOO much better than "crew manager" "fry specialist" "Grill operator" or "floor/tile cleaner" or, my FAVORITE "Toilet wand/Mop up" which was the job for the newbies- turnover being what it is, I did this twice. . .
But I digress-
Can the white trash Jew girl with the 6 kids really pull this off? So much riding on this, first, I really really REALLY want this. . .lock stock and a kick ass smoking title. . .for sure. It is the only thing that I have ever had a real chance at doing and doing well. . .so that is one.
Another reason? Life after unplanned teen pregnancy. . .there is one, and it is SO awesome! Life after AFDC and food stamps, living in tents, when lucky, in bus shelters, garages and unlocked cars when not. . .
I am surprised at my cold feet! I did not stress my WEDDING this much, hmmmmm.
So, Rainmom is getting ready to lock this up. . .eeeeeeeeek, need some music lyrics- enjoy!
Special MAD props to Disturbed. . .see you in August-
The Curse
Marked for demolition,
I'm Just a time bomb ticking inside
No hope for the hopeless,
I can see the pieces are laid out in front of me
No point even asking why
Couldn't help even if you try
Step inside and you might just be the next contestant
To feel the Brutality!
Devastation, Obliteration Are all in a part of Exacerbation
There's no explaining my situation,
Now why does this shit keep happening to me?
I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender, I'll never be overcome!
Too dark for forgiveness, I Can't seem to do anything right
When I try to rebuild I see my humble shelter Just fall to the ground again
Object to the evil, I No point to let anyone try
Take heed my friend lest you be torn asunder
Like all that's become of me
Decimation, Disintegration All being apart of imagination,
There's no explaining my situation
Now why does this shit keep happening to me?
I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender, I'll never be overcome!
I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender, I'll never be overcome!
I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!
