School Mascots
Amanda: eew bobcats
George: hm?
Amanda: i hate my future school's mascots.
Amanda: nyu bobcats.
George: why
Amanda: because they're...cats.
George: so?
Amanda: i don't like cats very much. and bobcats seem so unrefined.
Amanda: jaguars, panthers, lion, tigers, even, seem more noble that mere bobcats.
George: sucks for you
George: somehow i think that's the least of your worries.
Amanda: sorry internet troubles.
Amanda: i just am not relishing fencing under that banner. "bobcat pride," etc.
George: sucks for you
George: doesn't seem like you can do anything about it
Amanda: no, i can't.
Amanda: but the doctoral robes are sweet. not that i'm sure i want my doctorate fro mthe same place where i did my undergraduate, but, yea...sweet robes.
George: you have the oddest concerns about college.
Amanda: oh?
George: mascot and doctoral robes?
Amanda: don't you ever think about those things?
Amanda: why? what should i be concerned with?
George: good professors? other educational opportunities? study abroad?
Amanda: i'm already going to study abroad at some point. this does not concern me.
Amanda: and of course the professors are good. that is a given.
Amanda: oy, that's good: even though the mascot is the bobcat, they call themselves the "violets." i can deal with being a violet.
George: ....you'd rather be called a flower than a cat?
Amanda: for some reason, it doesn't remind me so much of the flower. to me, it's like cornell calling themselves the "reds" instead of the bears.
Amanda: i'm thinking the color more than the flower. but for the record, flowers are preferable to cats.
George: ....sure.
Amanda: haha. greek life.
Amanda: no way.
George: ?
Amanda: no greek life for me.
George: why not
Amanda: because i don't like most other females
George: i would go as far as saying you don't like msot other people, actually
Amanda: thanks. it might indeed be true.
