commence the commencement

okay. in case you were like under a rock or destroying your hearing off in ipod world, you heard that the faculty of our esteemed university has decided to rescend the amendment made during kofi's reign. the "8 hour rule" as it was affectionately called, saved face for students who were () this close to graduation. it allowed students to march who were less than 8 hours away from completing their degree program. students, i'm guessing, like me, who may only have one class left after this semester, a class that could be passed in the summer semester. unfortunately, students have taken advantage of this privilege and haven't fulfilled their obligations. how do i feel? i'm pissed off because i've overcome more than most people know to get to this point and even to see that work come to some sort of fruition is a dream come true. not to sound cliche but it's the culmination of a lot of blood sweat tears and hair. yes even my hair has suffered these past 2 years. so i'm not really feeling like i've been done a service at all by being barred from marching across that stage at commencement. i realize that at commencement, i should be finished with everything but hey shit happens, and just because some dumbass that's been here forever can't finish his degree program, that doesn't mean that i shouldn't be able to walk my fat ass across that damn stage and then pass my one class in the summer so i can be at bowling green by august. i'm pissed. i'm protesting. yes people, a petition will be started asap. at least if you're gonna do it, wait until i leave this bitch. it's newport time people. gotta jet.
