so i was sitting in one of my classes waiting for it to begin today, when i heard this guy in my class (age 32, if that's relevant) talking about how evolution's just a theory, and how it's not proven and he doesn't believe in it. then i got to thinking, "goddamn south carolina." little did i know how soon my words would be echoed. but if it puts it into any sort of perspective, and i think it might, it should be known that this guy went to
bob jones university here in sc. check that out even for 2 mins. got all you need to know abotu bob jones, if you know nothing about the school (or the man).
so i was about to get into my car today after class when some girl says "hey, i dont know you but can you help me?" my inclination was that this was either some kind of scam, or the beginning of some porn movie. so i said "i dont know, whats up." turns out her car was apparently stolen from the parking lot. brand new, just got it yesterday. anyway, being the good samaratin that i'm not, i offered to drive her to parking services (why is still beyond my comprehension; i'm still wondering if the fact that it's raining had anything to do with it). the ride there (all of 5 min) was interesting though. she was from georgia, went to northern ga univ (or some derivation thereof), and was at usc for grad school social work. but it was interesting to me that she said she hated sc. i figured it was probably similar to georgia, though sc is probably more conservative still, due to atlanta and its people from all over.
that's it. if you are waiting for some great climax
click here and make sure you've got some tissues handy. and to answer your question, she was cute, but a little thin.
bob jones sucks. if you click on the creed of the univ. the first line is the belief in the word of god and its teachings in the old and new testiment. how can this place be considered an educational institution. all i have to say is wow.
in other news: didnt mean to be so harsh on you damon so no hard feelins what can i say im an asshole
yeah it's the most ridiculous place ever. more conservative/religious than you or i could ever imagine. the students have to dress up nice (shirt and tie) for class, and there is no showing of affection b/w sexes except married people, who may hold hands.
the only comfort in it all is that it's not an accredited university.
read al frankens' book, theres a chapter in it about how he took on of the kids working on the book to bob jones university to "investigate". kind of funny, they got kicked out.
