I shouldn’t be writing about this, but I can’t help it. I just found it really, really odd. Please don’t hate me.<\/p>\n
I went to the Students of Color Academic Achievement Reception this afternoon. I got there a few minutes early. You know me, I’m punctual to a fault.<\/p>\n
So anyway, since I got there early, I was able to see everyone pile in and seat themselves. There were lots of black people, some Asian people and some Mexican people. Then these three white people walked in. They didn’t look like college students to me. Actually, they just didn’t fit in at all period.<\/p>\n
The group consisted of a pregnant woman who was wearing a shirt so small that half of her belly was showing, a scary looking man who looked just as pregnant as his wife (or at least they looked like husband and wife to me) and then an old gray-haired lady who looked like either his mom or her mom. I couldn’t quite tell whose mom she was.<\/p>\n
They had plates of food (mind you, refreshments were supposed to be at the end of the program, AFTER the whole thing was over) and they had the audacity to sit at the very front. They didn’t look like they came with any of the students being recognized and none of them received a certificate so I could only come to one logical conclusion. They came uninvited.<\/p>\n
That’s messed up! Find a wedding to crash or something! Oh, yeah. You’d actually have to wear nice clothes to crash a wedding reception.<\/p>\n
So anyway, they were eating during the whole program and at the end of the program they went back for more. I was actually polite and kept my food intake to a minimum (two little egg rolls and two cups of punch). I didn’t do this because I’m supposed to be on a diet, I just figured we were supposed to be there to receive our certificates not to scarf the food. The food was an incidental part of the reception.<\/p>\n
Honestly, I didn’t even expect that there would be food there. At any rate, these people were still eating when I left. I wouldn’t be surprised if they hung around until all the food was gone. Geez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
