Here Comes Obama

It’s 12 am and I should be going to bed right now b/c I have class at 9 am, but it just got done with my manuscript for physio and I’m kind of awake.  So here’s a quick update on what’s been going on.  I graduate in a month, it’s hard to believe…didn’t I just graduate high school.  Michelle Obama is speaking at graduation and I am not happy about this.  I could right a whole post about this and I probably will after midterms.  But I hate the fact that our graduation is no longer about the first graduating class of UC Merced, but instead it’s becoming an “Obama Rally” as the Right Side Paper put it.  It seems the school has become more concerned about accommodating the media and less about our famlies.  We have to have tickets and lots of securtiy…great…I feel this is going to take much of the fun and joy and celebration that should have came from this event.  Now if your friends and family want to come your going to have to say sorry the school won’t let me have anymore tickets, the news apparently comes before you.  Last I checked, was graduation suppose to be about the students, not the speaker.  I guess that just isn’t the case here.  The best I can do is email the vice chancellor. 

In the mean time, I working on setting up shadowing a physical therapist.  I’m hoping that eventually that this will become a paid position.  And by that I mean I hope the offer my a PT aide job.  I’m 99.9% sure that this is what I want to go into.  The only other idea I’ve though about is going to PA school, but I think PT is a better fit.  That’s all for now.  I write again when it’s not so late.
