put your hands up to the sound....

important ladies in my life

So the school is almost over!!!! Thank the lords that be!!!!!! Can't wait for this fucking year to finally be over. The absolute WORST school year ever!! But I made some great AWESOME friends, which was the one good thing to come out of this whole fiasco.


Small side note here: I just wanna say RIP to my cat Mickey who died last Wednesday. I will miss him dearly, he was only like 6 years old, not that old. He was poisoned and died from the same thing that my dog died from 3 years ago.  I will miss him a lot.

So anyways, what's been going on this past week....other than losing two pets that meant so much to me.

Well I ended up getting bronchitis last week, not so much fun and I'm slowly feeling my strength coming back but I do still have some weakness in the chest. It turns out all three of us, my 2 roommates and I, ended up getting. It was not a fun house last friday lol.

where did you go?....

yes I am...but is that a good thing?

Awww...thank you yet again CSUMB. You've somehow managed to fuck me over for yet another semester. I don't know where you find these teachers, but may I say, you've definitely found the pick of the litter. Well it looks like its going to be official; I will no longer even be a Music major at CSUMB, but an ISSM major if this works out the right way. Otherwise I will no longer be a student of CSUMB at all, because I won't have any other alternative but to transfer.

I seriously no longer understand the CSUs hatred for their students. Do they not understand that the only reason they're getting paid the few hundred thousand they're getting is because of us and our parents paying the ridiculous tuitions???

So why not start treating our students with some more respect than thinking of them as being stupid 20 year olds who don't know anything (I must know something, because I managed to get my ass into college!)?

Why not helping them graduate on time by- oh I don't know- offering certain courses more than once every other semester?!

Or how about not canceling a class and then deciding not to offer that class until a year later, because that class is only offered in the fall semester, so if your class is canceled that fall..."oh well you'll just have to wait till next fall because we can't have is messing up our order".

And God forbid we mention to the students that when a class IS canceled you can opt to take it as an independent study. "Nope, we're just going to make you wait and add an extra year onto your schedule because that class is only offered in the fall."


If you couldn't tell already...I needed to vent some frustrations.

Number one question- why don't I just leave? If I have to stay longer, why not just go to a better school?
Mostly because I've met some really awesome people here and I just don't want to have to make new friends...

I know, I know... coward's response.

But when you've never really made friends easily, it's kind of hard to just decide to pick up, move to a new school (where you'll only be there for a year) and make new friends...

Another reason is because my bff (<3) is here (she's really the reason I came here) and I just don't wanna leave her....we're attached at the hip lol.

So for right now, I'm just going to get through the rest of this semester (2 MORE WEEKS) and I'm going to pray that I can get into ISSM and graduate at the time that I was supposed to...well really I was supposed to graduate this year, but if you couldn't tell from above, I was otherwise prevented from doing so due to good-'ole course cancelations.
