Mary Lynn's Story
College
Went to CCAC to save money, then transferred to Pitt for the last 3 years.
Only funny things that happened were:
During my one semester where I had to be on campus for 12 hours, I had forgotten my trusty nutrition of the day (Poptarts) and didn't have any change for the VendoMatics. I was STARVING because I had eaten breakfast, which in turn fired up my metabolic processes. I was soooo hungry. I went in early to my Russian Lit class in the German Nationality Classroom in the Cathedral of Learning. It was around Christmas time, and they had a nice tree up, decorated in 'traditional' ornaments courtesy of some local boyscout troop. I spied some nice looking real gingerbread men hanging on the tree. I was hungry. Let's just say I left the gingerbread guys head on the tree at least.
They were good. Yum.
Also had ghosts turn the lights on for me 2 times in that building. All I wanted to do was sleep. Later in the Pitt news I read that there is a ghost that does that for people, I think his name was Charlie. How considerate of him, but I wanted to snooze before class.
Other than panhandlers hitting me up for money, there wasn't anything really interesting going on.
Workplace
YOUR COLLEGE DEGREE AND YOU:
Funny how yo...Expand for more
u can graduate from a university, then a few years later get hired as a secretary at the same university. I got a BS in Psych from Pitt. It was a BS for sure, ha ha!
My advice for anyone who is seeking gainful employment by going to college is, GO TO A TRADE SCHOOL! At least THERE they train you how to do something. :)
Military
I went to basic hell training at Ft. Lost in the Woods, Misery (Mo). I broke my a)) and got out. Pretty political in the service, they promise you one thing, and then some higher ranking officious officer overrides them. Or they lie. All the time. And, you should see how much waste there is. Sure did make me realize what a sham the war machine is, and what an oxymoron military 'intelligence' is.
Best thing I learned in the army (besides how to KILL KILL KILL with a butt stroke to the head with my M16) was how to conceal food in my cargo pockets of in my BDU's and how to catch some zzzz's by dumping my laundry on one of the stripped beds and crawling into it with my uniform on. Perfect camouflage!
Me and my one battle buddy on sick call almost got sent to JAG for getting caught going to the vending machines during our 7th week of training (we were leaving from sick call). My ds nicknamed me 'cookie monster'.
