Not only has my personal experience soured me on GMU, but the overall direction of the university is mirroring many across the nation.

Sorry. It clearly doesn't take much to engage Polemic Mode these days with regards to school. Harumph.
In a more positive tone, you're right: that I've wended my way through this process mostly under my own funding and power, which will make graduation all the better.

And, some day Real Soon Now, I'll be taking my road trip across the States, which will include LA. Can't wait to see you and the rest of the crew out there!
(Well. By "Real Soon Now" I mean "Probably sometime in 2015". At my age, you've gotta plan years in advance. Harumph.)
