graduate from college

I was invited to join the honor society. I guess I’m doing something right.

I hate math.
I hate math.
I hate, hate, hate math,

seriously, why do I need to know (fog)(x)? will that help me calculate the cost of produce as I’m standing in the grocery store?
Will it help me figure out what my paycheck should be?

NO.
pointless, stupid crap that I don’t need.
Waste of money.
Waste of time.
I hate, hate, hate, math.

community college is a JOKE.

too bad I need a degree.

ugh, the semester hasn’t even started, and I’m already dreading the people.

Massasoit’s employees are incompetent.

I ordered my books for my classes two weeks ago.
I call to ask why I haven’t received them, and turns out “whoops, they forgot to ship them. Heehee, our mistake.”
That’s nice, classes start IN FOUR DAYS!
Assholes.
Now, I have to screw around with my schedule to go pick them up while the bookstore is open.

Oh, it gets better.

I get a call Friday afternoon.
IME: incompetent Massasoit Employee
ME: me

IME: “Is this miss sanders?”

ME:” No, this is Miss Saunders!”

IME: “Oh, um, well, I’m calling to tell you that your honors English class got cancelled cuz um there aren’t enough people signed up for it.”

ME: “Okayyyyyy. So what are my options?”

IME: “Well, you have to call the registrar’s office…I can’t do anything.”

ME: “So four days before the semesters supposed to start, you tell me my class is cancelled, and since the registrar’s office is already closed for the weekend, and Monday is a holiday, what am I supposed to do? Tuesday is the start of the semester!”

IME: “Um well, Miss, uhhh…”

ME: “Yes, you’re useless.”

Click.

Community college is a joke. Now, I have to try to register for another class (which will take more time, because I can’t do it online, because it’s too late, so I have to take time off work to drive to Brockton to fix something the registrar messed up), buy new books, sell back the books from the class they cancelled, and try to not kill someone.

I hate community college.

The night honors class is running, which thrills me. I just hope that it isn’t full of old people, because old people “smart” and just out of high school “smart” are two different things. yes, I’m discriminating against old people. however, this is community college, and in my past experiences, the smart are few and far between.
Unfortunately, the only other person I knew that got invited to the honors program isn’t taking the class, so I hope there are people there who don’t suck.
Yeah, I know, I’m cynical and jaded and blah blah blah.
I work with the public. Therefore, I’m allowed!

I get to rate the competition one week and one day from today.

The math class I’ve registered for will (hopefully) not suck.the teacher has good ratings on RMP, so I’m hopeful. Kerri might be in my class so that will be entertaining if the class is reminiscent of the first one.

so I got invited to join the honors program…go me! hopefully everyone in my class will speak english, and I can get some feedback about my writing. going to register for classes today, wish me luck!

and I’m taking two night two classes this semester.

My math teacher can barely speak English (and can’t spell to save his life), and in the other class (a writing class) there are four students who are ESL students. The teacher thinks it is ‘fun’ to do peer editing, and always sticks me with someone who can barely read/speak English, never mind critique my writing.

community college is a joke.

hopefully they will be able to help me. If they can’t, I have no idea what I will do, I can’t stay in this job till I’m 23 or 25. I’d kill myself. I hope I can get out before then.

actually, no; I HATE THE GOVERNMENT.
Apparently, unless you are over the age of 23, have a kid, are married, or are part of the armed forces, you aren’t an adult. eff this. I’ve been on my own since I was 17, and since I haven’t gotten knocked up or married, or killed strangers, so that means I’m not an adult. Whatever happened to being legal once you turned 18?

Now, because of the crackpot US Government, I can’t fill out my FAFSA because I don’t know my parents SSN’s or birthdays or when they filed their taxes. NOT LIKE ANY OF THAT MATTERS, seeing as I haven’t received any financial support SINCE I WAS SEVENTEEN!

Argh, I hate this. all I want to do is go to college, and get some financial aid.

Screw graduating, my goal should be to just apply.

WTF.
