Everyone Knows that its Souzou!
It's made of crack ... No REALLY
No Rest for the Wicked
Looks like I'll be needing to take the next quarter no matter what. In fact, if I want to get out within a two year span, I MUST take EVERY quarter with FIVE courses every quarter, YEAR ROUND.

In short: Absolutely NO break for me. Ever. I need to get out of here before I turn 23 or being insured will become extremely difficult since my parents are still helping me with my fees.

And in case anyone is curious, NO. No I do not like this idea at all. If the classes demand as much of time, if not more than they already do, I'm going to want to shove a brick through my sinuses very slowly.

This makes things vastly more difficult for me. My next quarter will require me to stay at the school four days a week, because none of them could be fit into one day (the 5th course I have placed online).

Oh and here's a good one: I need to take a MATH COURSE. Last I checked, I had finished all of the math I would require in high school. They tell me that I need to take ALGEBRA. That's right: ALGEBRA. I FINISHED that in high school, but they said it "must be COLLEGE math."

********. That. It's algebra, you uneducated ********! Why would a college course of the exact same high school course make ANY DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER? YOU ARE ONLY DOING THIS FOR MY MONEY AND I AM LOSING MY PATIENCE, SEEING AS I AM POOR AS ******** RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I ATTEND YOUR SCHOOL.

Due to the fact that the woman assigning my courses is known as the head of the Graphic Design department, I used to be somewhat fearful of her, because I thought I should stay on friendly terms to avoid being ******** over. Now that I see my fear had no foundation to begin with, I think I may start treating this b***h like s**t. The fact that she smiled at me when I said "A math course? Seriously?" and replied with a curt "Yes," just makes me want to bash her ******** face in!

I officially hate her now. AND the school for deciding that high school math credits are useless!

******** me with a frozen swordfish, I am ready to light her office on fire. It'd be EASY too. It's so damn small and she has enough reading material to mourn once it's ash.

This is why I hate the academic system. ITS A ******** MONEY HOLE. In fact, it's more like a FUNNEL. If you spin around the edge, you can manage to avoid some fees, but gravity is against you from the start, so the outcome is almost inevitable, unless you are Spider-Man (who could web-up the center and provide a nice pad for you to land on, avoiding the worst and saving your life).

You know what? I think I'm going to go break something now. Preferably glass. Don't worry, though, I won't go to the doctors with my injuries. That'd cost too much. I will avoid breaking or fracturing bone, and merely allow shards to shred my flesh. That's easier to repair. Better use the left hand too. I still need the right one for work.

I have an idea. My aunt is one of the senior admissions officers at Sierra, she is the reason laura got into Sonoma without taking the SATs. I'm going to talk to her about this.

Algebra...at an Art School...That's ******** ridiculous!!! It sucks to hear that you have to deal with that crap too. It's all about Non-Transferable credits and junk like that. A bunch of people on my campus had to deal with it, having to retake things like Pre-Calc, and English1A. You're right, it's a scam. It's a damn scam to help boost profits. And for who? The Man! The people at the top, giving themselves raises while raising tuition prices. It's a joke. A really bad joke.

Sorry 'bout the no breaks. Just don't go all crazy on us...yet. I want to be there with a camera when it happens. xd

Oh god...*smacks her hand on her forehead* This...this has got to be icing on top of the cake. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE ALGEBRA FOR!? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU DID IT IN HIGHSCHOOL...WELL I might add! URGH MONEY LAUNDERING PIECES OF-*starts on a screaming spree that would make a sailor blush* Sorry Tyler is going through this right now as well, of course he's not going bankrupt like you are, but he is going through it nontheless. I agree with you and Nick, its to pay the money hungry man. I can almost picture this woman's face with the curt "yes." I don't even know what this woman looks like but through your anger I can see it! Well the one bright side (yes bright side however small) Its an easy course...you can probably just do the minimum and still pass it with flying colors. *trying to be optimistic and failing* Its all I've got I'm sorry. *screams at the heavens* I FAIL TO SEE THE GOOD IN THIS!

LOL! No, I understand you're methods, Bee. I've been trying to think of it that way as well.

And I will be sure to let you know when it happens, Major xd It really WOULD be good on tape.

Also, I appreciate that, Jen. It would be nice to try and get some insight on this one.

As for what I'll do, I think I'm going to drop this math course for this next semester to give me more time as to how I should tackle it. I really do find it ridiculous, and after discussing it with a few different people (including you guys) I think this is my best option. Maybe, by the time the next quarter is up, I'll have an attack plan. At the very least, I think I should take the course for cheap at Sierra. I still HATE that damned junior college campus, but its a hell of a lot cheaper for a math course that's available virtually anywhere. If I'm going to get screwed, I'm going to get the best deal possible (which I'm pretty sure will piss off the pricey campus and is, in fact, my goal >3 ).

Make sure Sierra credits will transfer nicely; I couldn't go back after having started UNR without re-applying to first Sierra then UNR again. Which might be fine, but it the "catalog" you have this year isn't the same as the plan for when you re-enter... Then you might need even MORE classes. So just tread lightly, ya? It's a razors edge with colleges.

Oh yeah, I'm very aware of their stupid methods. It's one of the very reasons Bee and I had difficulty getting our AA/AS degrees from the campus. Idiot councilor was reading the wrong package.

Well, whatever that video is, it has been removed from YouTube, so now it'll just haunt you for the rest of your life!
