Sometimes the privilege shines through

In my planning for my new life as a lazy graduate student on heading down to my new school, I have come across one of those little questions that just won't leave my brain. If you hate random meaningless crap that clutters other peoples' heads in moments of boredom, leave now. If not, I would love to hear your thoughts.

I have a car. Its like a clown car only its not. Right now, I have no decorative elements on my car. It is just a car. I do however have three window decals from institutions that I have attended just sitting in my glove compartment, waiting for their day to shine. Soon I will have a fourth. As I sit here in my cubicle, I have been trying to imagine how I would fit all of these on my rear-view window. I mean, four decals is a lot of pretensiousness to be slapped onto a car (and yet, only the prep school and the Bachelor's are pretentious. The transfer undergrad and future grad school are respectable public institutions). At what point to I just say forget it? The giffer thinks that prep school is the first one to go. I sort of agree, but as I get further and further from high school, only the fonder memories remain. Drop Santa Cruz? I don't know, I still describe that as the best year of my life, besides, I think that decal alone eliminates any claims of elitism. Wes? Got to stay, right? Texas? Well, do I have to attend for a certain period of time before I can put the decal on?

I am such an education whore. Don't even let me get started on the Montgomery College parking permit....
