Emma's News

Hey Family,

Everyone probably already found out through Facebook, but Ethan and I are going out again. Woo!
I deactivated my account on Facebook when Ethan and I were breaking up, incase anyone was worried I had defriended them. I didn't!

Besides that there isn't much excitement. Getting some good grades and some bad grades...looking forward to being out of this torture that some call "college." Hah!

Cheyenne -- how is Annie liking Tech? More than me I hope.

I was home for a little while on Saturday and I saw Veronica. She is selling 100% soy candles to raise money for chorus. Everyone should buy one! Mike totally copycatted me and chose the Fresh Rain scent after I chose it.

I guess that is all I have for now!
Miss you all and hope to see you on Thanksgiving!

And why not? Who would know better than you which one to buy?

Unknown said...

well you know, I was torn btw the vanilla and the fresh rain. I only went with fresh rain b/c it was the one you didn't chose!

DaddyMike said...

And I got worried that the Vanilla was going to be too strong!

Unknown said...

I was just teasing you...

what's not to like?!

DaddyMike said...

I know you were teasing... :)

Don't forget "cruelty free"! Though I'm not sure whether or not harvesting beeswax amounts to cruelty, come to think of it...

FROM "To Hell with Georgia"
(to the tune of Glory, Glory Hallelujah)

Don't send my boy to MIT
The dying mother said,
Don't send my boy to Emory
I'd rather see him dead,
But send my boy to Georgia Tech
'Tis better than Cornell.
And as for the University of Georgia
I'd rather see him in hell!
--------------------------------

Or better yet:
FROM "The Ramblin' Wreck":

Oh! If I had a daughter, sir,
I'd dress her in White and Gold.
And put her on the campus
To cheer the Brave and Bold.
But if I had a son, sir,
I'll tell you what he'd do
He would yell, "To hell with Georgia,"
like his daddy used to do.
---------------------------------

There Emma, don't you feel better now?!

(No offense Kacie!--- for either quote!)

Unknown said...

Those songs do make me feel happy. For half a second until I remember how much I hate my life and have no friends to sing those songs with.

Unknown said...

BTW, the candles are cruelty-free because they are made of soy. If they were made of beeswax that would not be considered cruelty free.

Kacie said...

Not only are those songs both anti-my fabulous school, but the second one is mortifyingly sexist.

And that is why I hate football.

ConnieMom said...

Kacie -- I was wondering which you would find more offensive, the UGA insult or the blatant sexism!

Emma -- you are not alone. Here are some various quotes about Tech:

"I thought I was the perhaps one of the few miserable souls, but apparently there are quite a few. I transferred to GT from GSU for god knows what reason. I don't know what I was thinking. I've had a miserable time.

The students are generally approachable, but also some are extremely arrogant and stuck up and think they are super brilliant; or they are dumb as a brick and I can't figure out how they got in. Imagine taking all the annoying people from highschool and sticking them in one college. Instead of having 1 know-it-all constant-hand-raiser-comment-maker, you have a classroom full of them. "

"Once there was a time I thought I would never bring home a D in a class, and since i have been enrolled here...well that view has changed. You will find yourself begging for a C more than you would ever want"

"This is not the place for most people. If you're looking for "the college experience," keep looking. Don't stop here. If you're looking to be challenged every day for 4 (or 5) years, don't care about going out at night, don't care about much of anything else, this is your school. "

And how about this---
" Don't ever visit UGA for the weekend, or Emory, or any other college anywhere for that matter, because at that point you will break down and scream "why oh why did I choose Georgia Tech???"
