FAU

Yeah, I'm still going to school. I wouldn't mind going till the end of times, except, I am getting frustrated and disillusioned. Especially at FAU in Boca. Could they possibly care less about the students, the actual people, not the tuition count, but the living breathing, driving, working people who attend that stinking school?

Well, I attend, and I don't think I want to, anymore. I started the semester driving around on campus for at least 20 minutes to find parking. All the while seeing umpteen cop cars and ticket devils, just writing up everybody. Rows of cars parked on a strip of grass. Not just one car, but rows and rows. Stuck in between rows on another strip of grass. Every usable patch of land was occupied, not out of disrespect, but out of lack of alternatives, yet they proudly go around punishing everyone. So it works like this: sign up, we take your tuition. Then we charge you a fee for your parking sticker and for being a commuter student. If you think you may want to switch a vehicle, or want to register another one, just in case, that's another hundred some dollars. Thanks for your payment. You will have no place to park, but we can hit you with some fines, so more revenue for us. We will also have students teaching you, who may be brilliant and promising scientists or mathematicians, but have never taught, nor do they have any communication skills. So good luck retaining anything. But thanks for your tuition and the opportunity to fine you while you are trying to learn and commute an hour to f...n campus.

Than, there are the counselors, the ones who neglect to tell you that a program you want to pursue is only offered on the Davie campus... and so forth. Than, there is a dental clinic where you can receive discounted services, such as cleaning, provided they don't accidentally move your appointment to next month and you have, once again, got to drive to that stinking campus and look for a stinking spot to park without having to pay and pay and pay. Who cares, right? I sure wish I was somewhere else, where there was a choice of schools, where the commute wouldn't suck so much, where I could afford to enroll in a program that is taught by teachers who give a f... Till then, I think I'll look into University of Phoenix. Home sweet home.... and I get my personal refrigerator and a little warm body laying next to me (Shaz) and my husband asking if he could bring me anything...life is not so bad, as long as you don't go to FAU.
