What can $2000 buy you these days?
Last night I needed to get a paper printed for one of my sadistic teachers who will give a D for the whole course if I didn't turn it in today, so I went to Bratley library assuming printed pages were included with my tuition since that what happens at ICC. I get there and discover that I have to pay 8 cents a page and had 2 pages. Now 16 cents is no big deal, but something seems amiss when you pay $2000 for one class and you cant even print out a couple pieces of paper for free. I would've paid it, but I needed to have a Bradley quick cash card (or whatever they call it) and never got one because I never intended to use the campus services. (Again, I assumed that some things in life are free, my mistake.) They wouldnt take cash, so I was upset. Well, as it turns out, they do give a limited number of free prints over in the engineering labs, but when I got there I discovered they're on a different network than the rest of Bratley and my login ID wouldn't work. I frantically roamed around trying to figure out what to do and finally found a lab monitor who let me print from his computer.
What fun it is to roam Bratley's highway of robberies. On the bright side, I have this class in a room right next to the construction zone, so I can see my tuition money is going to bad use (up $300 from last semester and likely to go up again before I graduate) as they construct a new gymnasium on the site of the perfectly adequate old gymnasium.
If anyone's curious why I'm attending a school that annoys me so much, it's because I have a good job in Peoria and the next closest school that offers my major is in Champaign, so I'm trapped in Bratley's monopoly.
