visiting hours

Since I am on vacation, I decided to go visit my father's grave in the cemetery. I know i am the only one that come out here when i do because 1- the brothers do not have a car 2- it is not a priority to take public transportation for them ever so 3- if i do not drive them they do not come here. 
Anywho- life goes on and I do what I do. 
This headstone of my father which took 23 years to purchase after a few attempts and disagreements with the family is a sight. It is emotional for me to look at his name etched in stone, conspicuous hyphen in between birth and death date. 
It is heavy. 
Beautiful
but heavy.



The next tombstone visited is where Grandma lay.
Anderson. 
May she rest eternally there. 
It is too soon for the inscription to happen. 
But she is there.

sigh... lets talk about privilege

Saw this today and had some thoughts as an individual:







one would think someone would take accountability for their actions-- let's dissect this shall we...
  • Unbeknownst to the writer-- wrong- as there are notifications that are sent to students when aid changes (via email) they have to check
  • 'full summer scholarship'- wrong as summers are voluntary semesters and scholarship is granted based on application
  • FOUR people at Bursar- wrong as Bursar receives money (cash check etc) and they do not grant scholarship- therefore from person one who does not deal with scholarship why not go to the office that granted the scholarship?
  • sassily Yelled- can I get a re-enactment? is that up for interpretation?
  • Deadline was May 1- wait-- I assume writer met the deadline and turned in all applicable paperwork- oh no- my bad why would a student do that?
  • went to advisor and Dean- who helped get you the result you wanted but lost was the lesson in personal responsibility or applying for the aid since you know you need it and the consequences of said action.
Brava! well done! you too could be the next president.
