If you saw my post in the Res In Peace thread, you know that my old teacher at military school, Major Hairr just died this year. I'm doing this for me of course, and to justify all the time and money my grandfather put into my education, but I'm officially dedicating my passing these classes to Major Hairr.
Major Hairr is my daddy and Kwangtung has been ceded to him and his widow. I know that doesn't make any sense but it's everything to me at the moment. I won't fail any of them, but that man cared far more about my education than any other teacher I ever had. God what the ****? He was too young for this. I never intended to go back to that school for any reason, but I'm going to find out if they're doing some kind of memorial for him on Alumni Weekend, and if so, I'm going to be there if I have to hitchhike. Apparently they're taking donations to put a brick in the quad in his memory, and if they're still taking money for it I'm going to give him the last sixteen bucks in my wallet. I need to go back and look at whatever memorial they're setting up and just... I don't know, cry over it or put flowers or something.
I'll go get an actual college degree for something---anything---just so if he's up in heaven or whatever he will be proud. He deserves that much.
