Grr

So.

I'm getting ready to go back to Hampton after being away for Thanksgiving Break.

Not looking forward to it in the least. I am realizing - again - how much that place annoys me, to say the very least. Maybe I should have transferred. Gone to a different school. For a while, I had sucked up my dissatisfaction with the school - after all, I have met amazing folks. Learned a lot about race in the U.S. of A. (how HBCUs differ from other schools in terms of resources, rules and regulations about our sexualities, etc., and why) - but I'm sure I would have learned a lot about race and privilege at any institution; it just would have been served to me in different form. I'm mostly happy with the friendships I've made (sad about ones I've lost or haven't developed fully.)

But take the cool-ass folks away, and we're left with nothing much to be impressed with, in my opinion. I'm sick and tired of that place, forREAL. I'm tired of duking it out with the administration. Tired. Me and Hampton are in an abusive relationship that has dragged on far too long. It needs to end.

I just wish I could graduate already.
