for the past 10-11 years, i've spent my life listening to people tell me that i'm too good for them.

around town, i'm the 'grammar rich bitch' and to be honest, its only the people of geelong that seem to have a problem with it.

i can't help the school that i went to. And no, i am NOT a rich bitch. I admit i live comfortably, with a nice house and nice car, but by no means am i rich. My parents worked extremely hard to send me to that school and i know i'll always be grateful for it.

but it's a stereotype which has followed me ever since i was 8 years old. The way i talk (only because i pronounce and innunciate correctly), the way i act and the things i buy (and someone has even pointed out my posture in this!) seem to be a catalyst. I thought that when i'd left that damned institution, i would leave this behind me. But actually, going to deakin hasn't changed it, and staying in geelong has made it far worse.

When its friends, we poke fun at each other as to who went to a private school and who went to a public school, and thats all cool. What i don't like, what i truly detest is when people judge me for it. I couldn't care less if you poke fun at the school i went to, but choose your words wisely when you think about judging me for it.

So if you think i'm too good for you, think again-- you may be just perfect for me.
