life's little foibles.

chronicles of an unemployed, dead beat

Student demonstrators took to the streets of Santiago dressed as goblins and ghouls from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video in their latest spirited pursuit of higher education reforms.

As they re-created Jackson’s iconic moves in front of La Moneda presidential palace, students said the zombie motif was an appropriate metaphor for the Chilean education system, which they described as “rotten” and “dead.” In recent weeks, similar — albeit less colorful — rallies havereportedly been staged, including some which demand the resignation of the Minister of Education.

“Public education is dying so we took this Michael Jackson creation and we united to this movement that is dying, the zombies,” one student is quoted as saying. “At its heart, that’s what it is. And behind each zombie, there’s a family. This has much deeper meaning.”

really wish i decided to walk for graduation.
there’s a void where “CONGRATS ON GRADUATING!” “GOOD JOB!” “CONGRATS GRAD”, pomp and circumstance playin’ in the background, people cheering, should be.

my graduation was me getting a postcard in the mail in march. hey, come get ur diploma it’s waiting here for you in the registrar’s office. me going in 2 months after that, giving an attendant my id, signing a paper with my id number, and being grumpily rushed away.

…………………………………….. :(
is it too late to have a graduation party?
probably. i will bake myself a celebratory tray of brownies while listening to a midi file of pomp and circumstance.
