(no subject)
I'm sitting in the library at Eastern killing time until my next class. Then after that I'm going to go buy me some volcano tacos and kill more time until my next class... So much of my time here is spent just waiting for things to happen. It kind of sucks. This is one of my first times in the library and I have to admit, MCC still takes the cake on technology. There's only a handful of open computers here and kids have to fight to get a hold of them. I'm not used to that. Then again, 'they' (I used the term loosely becuase I Don't know who 'they' really is... but for now its ECSU if ECSU was a person) just assume most kids here dorm and then either have access to computer labs in said dorm buildings or have a computer of their own.
Being a commuter student I really get the shit stick here. And being a transfer student I feel like so few people take me seriously academically, although I know for a fact that classes at MCC where piles above these. I'm happy with the school, and I'm not complaining about that, but just "real colleges" in general. I hate to think what it would have been like to transfer to a fancy pants school like Harvard or Yale, NO ONE would have taken me seriously there, although I have the same sinking feeling that classes are probably just as non-challenging there as here. And I'm not paying all that money for nothing.
I finally got in touch with advisors too, so hopefully my problems there will be solved. I'm trying to get into the "care program" which means I need to be selected to get my teaching certification, the problem is, most of the required paperwork involves previous ECSU teachers signing off on things, and filling it out with all sorts of things I've done. Meaning I'm kind of screwed trying to enter it straight out of MCC. I've compiled all I need, and I'm not worried anymore aside from the fact that I need teacher recommendations from ECSU faculty. The same faculty I Don't know at all yet. So I'm going to try to let me get MCC teachers to sign off on my paper, which would be awesome.
I need a job badly. I put in an application at Target, but I haven't called to bug them about it yet because I put in another application at Starbucks, and I'm more hoping to get that job. Mainly for the close proximity and the fact that I probably would sink in a gigantic department store where no one would know my name and I wouldn't get recognized for anything.
I guess that's my biggest downfall, I tend to want to make a name for myself, but then end up getting more responsibilites for it, and then nothing else but stress on top of that, It's the story of my life. But I think it'll all pay off eventually.
Oh, and some stupid bitch backed into my car at stop & Shop. So I'm waiting on insurance information from that to go through. And to top it off, she didn't have a lisence. Laaaame.
Anyway, it's time for me to get going to my class.
