I have never received a report card that did not include the phrase “achievement appears to be below ability.”
My final GPA in high school was a 3.00 and would be lower except that failing grades were not factored in.
I took seven AP classes in high school and sat only two of the tests.
In eighth grade I took an extensive personality test, after which a psychiatrist told my mom “not to expect Malcolm to go to a 4-year college.”
When I announced my plan to take a gap year and travel, several of my close friends told me that they did not believe I would ever return to school.
Twelve hours ago the suitcase with all my clothes (and many other things) in it was not loaded onto my flight. It is currently missing.
Four hours ago my ride from Chicago, IL to Beloit, WI cancelled on me.
And thirty minutes ago I moved into my dorm at Beloit College.
I am no longer as surprised as you are. I am fucking shocked.
Join me next Saturday for "Oh, you like the Shins? What building are you in?"
