So, yesterday I was at breakfast (after getting up at 7 AND going to my 8 o'clock class...both independent minor miracles), and they always have The Today Show on all the t.v.'s which seems odd to me, but whatever that's how it is.
Anyway, they had this 17 MONTH old little girl that could read. What.The.Fuck? Not even 2 years old, and the kid can like...read shit. That's in-fucking-sane. And what's worse, is that the little kids are getting smarter every year. Now they're learning to read in kindergarten, which is putting shame to the letter people that I was learning about in kindergarten.
This has led me to conclude, that 1 or 2 or both of these things will happen: 1) they will come up with a degree higher than a doctorate, cause by the time that little girl graduates college, everyone's gonna have to be a doctor just to make a decent living. B.A.'s will just be a starter degree. And/or 2) my education will become completly obsolete. And, that's just more than a little depressing.
Thus, I have decided I'm going to drop out of society Chris McCandless style (minus the starving to death in a bus in Alaska part). Execpt, I'd rather move to Canada and become a hermit. I'm guessing that is a mostly ideal environment to have a shit-ton of cats when I'm a cat lady.
