Title: Bloodwake is still a college student.
Post by: Bloodwake on March 14, 2009, 06:31:57 PM: I'm being put on suspension. I got notified today. On my fucking day off.

They didn't send me the fucking paperwork that I needed to apply for a major that they ALWAYS fucking send me, so I was waiting for the paperwork. I'm so fucking pissed right now.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Title: Re: I fucking hate my college
Post by: Bloodwake on March 14, 2009, 06:41:11 PM: I've been trying to get an independent major approved for a few semesters, and I finally resigned to apply for the theatre major. Of course, they send the paperwork usually in February. I was pretty sure that Snowmageddon would have delayed the papers, so I wasn't too worried about the deadline. I didn't even know of a deadline because I wasn't notified.

This is after getting put on social probation for having an illegal vehicle on campus during Christmas break when I wasn't even on campus, which I couldn't appeal. At least I can appeal this one. If my appeal isn't accepted on Thursday, then I have two days to move out.

That's what you get for rocking the boat. The dean of students probably called in a hit on you.

Step one seems difficult

fuck step three
step five seems unlikely; it would be the Russian bride who would be profiting, not me.

If I could go back full time, I'd do it in a second. Probably for neuropsychology, which is like the most interesting field evar.

Maybe criminal psychology, but while it's an interesting field, I have some philosophical qualms about considering a person a criminal in a somewhat pathological sense, and that seems to be a ground level thing you have to accept.

My grandpa was a Criminal Justice/Sociology professor at Seattle University. He was even the warden at Washington State Pen. in Walla Walla for a time in the early 80s. I'm sure you'd love talking with him.

Post by: Bloodwake on March 23, 2009, 03:34:06 PM: Well, the appeal didn't go too well. One half of it I felt like I was owning the committee. They asked me a question and I definitely pointed out something they might have overlooked that might come in handy later, whereas some questions made me feel like I walked in with my pants around my ankles. I should know tomorrow or Wednesday. If not, I'm going to get a job immediately and start computer shopping (since i have to give back my free one)

The problem is that they drill it into you in high school that college is the end all, be all requirement of adult success, which is far from the truth. Plus, at lot of kids just look at college as high school 2.0, basically extending their adolescence and immaturity 'cause mommy and daddy will come to their rescue at trouble's notice. I met a lot of big babies in college.

In Kentucky, it might as well be the end all be all requirement. You are stuck in a poverty stricken area where your options for success include GameStop, fast food, data entry, or unemployment. I might as well start looking for my trailer.

We can get a trailer together and make it a pimp shack. We can have a huge satellite dish and a big wooden deck with a charcoal grill... man we'd be the shit.

But srs, if you get kicked out, maybe we'll get an apartment? Idfk, I'm still looking into it, and I'm not sure if I'm going to, or who I'd get for a roommate.

In all seriousness, job prospects are less shitty in Lex than they are in either of our sections of the state.

Well, thanks to him, I now have one of the cleanest 360 controllers ever. Looks brand new after cleaning off the aftermath of what he did.

Celebration time with T234 will have to take place either this weekend sometime or the next. SPRING BREAK YES YES YES

I'm also celebrating tonight. Hooters Wings Wednesday and dollar drafts. Then, when I'm good and drunk, I'm switching to energy drinks and pulling an all-nighter to slay the workload I've built up the past week trying to not get kicked out.
