Maybe She'll Turn You Into A Toad?
FOUND by Kate
in Stone Ridge, New York
I've been wistfully scanning the ground since I discovered this website, searching diligently for the perfect FOUND thing. Then last week at my local community college where I'm taking a sign language class I walked into the classroom to see the perfect specimen. I hope Michael makes it through his crisis, and wish we all could schedule a meeting for a transformation.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I'm an english and theater major and thinking much the same thing. i need a meeting like that.
okay now.. is that a different spelling of Michelle.. or has Michael come to the decision that he no longer wants to be a professional candy striper?
I left a note very similar to this. I got out of my nursing major- good luck Michael, I hope you made it. Nursing sucks-
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING WRONG!!
I didn't meet w/a "nursing advisor" to find out what I really should be. DUH.
FANTASTIC find Kate! Thanks.
(Sorry if this is repeated - my network ditched as I was posting.)
Yeah, but just because the nursing advisor can tell you if you should be something else, she can't turn you into whatever it is you're supposed to be. Imagine going the rest of your life knowing you were meant to be a cast-away Chinese takeout carton but not able to do anything about it.
PROFESSIONAL CANDY STRIPER?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please. I am not one to take comments in this site seriously. We are not candy stripers. Nursing does not suck. People who get stuck in nursing, because it isnt their true vocation, are candy stripers. People who don't have the passion and the level of caring that it takes to be a real nurse, think it sucks.
I am a nurse, have been one for a long time. And, I am glad that Michael (probably a guy, and why not, lots of guys are nurses) has realized that he may not have the compassion and level of knowledge and critical thinking that it takes to be a nurse, in this time, when they are a part of the health care system that really cares, and works their asses off.
so there. rant of the day.
I was like that. I'm still like that. This boy needs some encouragement. You can do it, Michael!
After seeing the nursing advisor, he might want to look into the local Army recruiting station. The nursing advisor may only be able to tell him what to be, but the Army...there you can be ALL that you can be.
I hope Michael will decide what to be before he figures out how long he's going to be.
These things should be proportional, after all.
Jamie, what decade are you living in? There are LOTS of male nurses.
Am I the only one who wonders why this written in some sort of white pen on dark paper?
I mean, everyone knows red pens are better.
Whatever the "something else" Michael expects to be length is apparently the defining characteristic. Maybe a snake, a rope or a porn star?
I wish it were that easy! I'm packing up the last of my stuff and moving back 'home' from university and holy batman I could use a roadmap right about now.
I really dig the blackboard find!
Maybe I should just ask myself if I should be something else instead of wishing I had a nursing advisor.
I know how he feels. I finally decided not to seek the advice of my nursing adviser anymore. The voices in my head were far more convincing. Every day is a new day and a chance to be something different...depending which of my voices are dominant. Unfortunately, all of my voices work in the software industry, so they are all stressed out all at the same time. Maybe they should have listened to the nursing adviser...hmm.
Yea, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up and I'm 40! Hang in there Michael or Michelle.
I'm pretty sure that this is a blackboard, Lisa :) Also, I wish someone could tell me where I'm supposed to be... The library just isn't fun when it's final season.
About half an inch should do if you decide to stick to that...
I hope he turns into something nice. And I like that he doesn't know how long he'll be. I can only imagine that a transformation would some time. Maybe he'll turn into a doctor!
ha.. why cant i make fun of male nurses?.. people make worse jokes about lawyers.. i dont complain.. come on people.. its never that serious
Murse.
Haha.
Kate, I'm not clear on how this came about. Did you:
a) Walk into the classroom, see the blackboard, take a picture of it and send the picture to Found?
b) Walk into the classroom, find this photograph of a blackboard and send the photograph to Found?
or...
c) Walk into the classroom, find this blackboard, tear it off the wall with your bare hands, and mail the whole goddamn thing to Found?
I'm guessing it's a), although c) would be a hell of a lot cooler.
Thanks monalisa! Well said. Good luck Michael. I'm a nursing student. It is HARD and you need to REALLY know your stuff. I love it, but it's not for everyone. I must get back to studying now.
You can be anything you wanna be , baby .
Yeah, but just because the nursing advisor can tell you if you should be something else, she can't turn you into whatever it is you're supposed to be. Imagine going the rest of your life knowing you were meant to be a cast-away Chinese takeout carton but not able to do anything about it.
You know, this really isn't a decision that an advisor can answer for you. I'm studying engineering, and over the last year I've had both a professor, and an advisor tell me that "Maybe you're not capable of getting through this degree." Screw them Michael college is all about persistance. If you want to be an Nurse, then damnit be a nurse. Make the decision yourself.
Kate, the name of this website is "Found," not "Looked For." Any idiot can write something on the blackboard.
stella baby, what makes a balckboard idiotic and a piece of paper not? i love blackbaords, its a mcu hbetter place to leave a note than the ground.
swedish biscuits peacing out: Are you dropping our of school, switching majors, switching schools or what is your situation?
i don't know if anyone mentioned this already but this is written on a CHALKBOARD!... not on black paper... So Lisa... you really are in your own little world.
Wow, Kelly, way to be a judgenmental bitch.
Flargy...um, a). although next time i'll try c)...or would i have to send that to "stolenmagazine.com" ...hey, that's a good idea, i'm gonna start that magazine. hey everybody, steal some cool shit and mail it to me.
stella baby....well, can't "any idiot" write something on a piece of paper? at least with a chalkboard you have to work to keep your lines straight. and i'm pretty sure that "looking for" and "finding" are not mutually exclusive...rather, one leads to another. did i miss the rule that you have to find stuff by accident? i guess any idiot can comment on the stuff on this site...
What I love is that if you let the final line flow into the signature, it sounds as though he does not know how long he will be Michael at all:) "I don't know how long I'll be Michael". It makes the idea much deeper than just changing majors or direction. We could all write that note every second of every day.
Good answer to stella babay - I was thinking the same thing.
Great find! I hope Michael found his answers. I sometimes wonder if I ought to be something else too.
Did we really need to know that the finder was taking a sign language class? Why do so many finders feel the need to burden their entries with extraneous information about themeselves and/or pretentious musings about the life of the note writer?
This Michael's signature is just like the "Michael" from the front of Michael Jackson's Thriller Album!
magningning in lorna doone, thats just like those people who start a story by saying.. ok, so last tuesday.. or was it wednesday? no, i think it was tuesday...
IT DOESN'T FREAKING MATTER, JUST GET ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!
the finder obviously wants us to know that she's doing something worthy, to make her look like a good person. Who really cares? Not I. Would have been more interesting if she was taking a fellatio class.
I for one immensely enjoy reading the circumstances surrounding the Find, as well as the Finder's take on it. Whey SHOULDN'T the Finder get to be the first person to put his or her comments to the Find before the hounds of the comment board are loosed?
And Kate, I applaud your response to StellaBaby. You GO!!
Remind me never to have a conversation with Mona. I constantly do that when I talk. It drives EVERYONE batty. What can I say. It's the way my mind works, I stay mirred in details.
