had to go to the wgas to change a grade as grades there have about the same currency as old brasilian cruzeiros. am in the new utopia building but even there they are now scanning id’s. mine still cannot be read.

change the grade, and while leaving i see two faculty members who double as advisors fumbling for their id’s. mention how that i was in crack whore town and the vd capital of the states but i can walk into maryland institute without an i.d. mentioned my sister is at hunter in hell’s kitchen and again one can actually enter the building without a pat down but here…

- actually, we like the policy.

i mention the irony of a being literarily in a ivory tower – this part of the school is on the 12th floor – and this exclusivity doesn’t fit with the supposed openness and wanting to welcome the community.

-it is not “us” that we worry about.

ah the demonised other. the current regime in washington couldn’t have put it better.
