My school “upgraded” its Oracle-based student records management system weeks ago. I know that it is Oracle-based because ever since the “upgrade,” every time I try to access my “student portal” (my primary means of interacting with the school, as…
Grades!
It seems that my grades are finally in. Stupid required computer class: 93.54, and it was that low because the lazy fool teaching it refused to correct the WRONG answers in the computerized tests. Seriously—she never argued that the answers…
I’m a Student! But Still a Crip, Too
Well, I’m officially in school and off to a running limping start. I made it to my statistics class on Tuesday, but only after a nasty fall. I was only about 20 minutes late, and the professor was more than…
“School Days, School Days, Good Old Golden Rule Days”
Is that how the lyric goes? I know, I can Google it. I should be in bed. If I get anywhere near a lyric archive, I’ll get sucked in and there’s no promise that I’ll get any sleep at all!…

I won’t be going to Dragon Con unless a ticket (or pass—hey, I’m willing to do panels, ya know) falls out of the air. Sam will be running games and the girl will be working the con, so they both…

Of Course
The fax failed when I sent the transcript request to Southern Poly. Why? They’ve changed all their phone numbers, but haven’t updated 99% of the pages on their website. Somehow, I am completely unsurprised.
Finally!
Southern Poly has FINALLY gotten my transcript corrected. Let’s just pray that it stays that way. I put in the request to have that transcript sent to the new school. It’s the last bit of information they need for admissions.
Too Cheap to Smoke
curiousmay9 and I were recently discussing how much certain habits, like smoking or heavy drinking, cost. Both of us have family histories of families that won’t pay for things like college for their kids, but one of the parents is…
