Watched the De la Hoya/Racist-McFitty fight tonight. Mayweather's dad looks like the predator. Based on tonight, though, I've decided that I like boxing more than I've ever liked football. Thankfully, boxing doesn't have unbearably long seasons.
A terrible girl in my gradutating class is going to be student marshall (if you're unfamiliar with the term, the student marshall is the person in the college's graduating class with the highest grade point avearge. They get to be special, and their names are mentioned in the program). I'm pissed beacuse...
1) the girl has a terrible personality, is a poor contributer to the department, and is bad at her job.
2) a friend of mine was second in line, and has the opposite qualities. She has been a remarkable student and has given the department a good name in her own small way.
3) the girl who is going to be student marshall transferred to our school after two years, and came from a joke college. It would be impossible for her to have the same GPA if she had been here for four years. Also, the classes she took here were not as difficult as the classes taken by other summa cum laude graduates. Taking easy classes with friendly teachers doesn't mean you should represent our graduating student body.
I'm taking this pretty personally because my husband was student marshall last year. He basically killed himself his senior year, foregoing sleep and food to support the lighting staff in our college. He broke his back to give everything to the shows, classes and projects he was involved in. And, he impressed everyone with his talent and hard work. This year, we get a lousy little busy-body instead of a truly inspiring student. I'm pissed.
