Bus Stop
A lot has been going with me in the past few days. It's remarkable how much one can change because of interactions.
I started taking classes part time at LACC. I need to defer my student loans because there's no way I can afford them right now. SO the solution is to go back to school part time.
It's really weird going to a community college, because it makes me appreciate Chapman to some extent. Although I did have many issues with the school, it was lightyears better than this place. In terms of campus, teachers, food, parking, everything.
But what bothers me about that statement, is why is a decent college, not even a great college 40,000$ a year?! Shouldn't a decent education be a given. Should we all be entitled to learn, be treated with respect in a building that we feel safe and comfortable in???
The education system of this country disgusts me. They wonder why we are in economic depression, it's because nobody knows anything.
After attending one of the top ten high schools in the country and then hearing about other peoples high school experience, I am shocked at the conditions the rest of the country subjugates their young people too. They treat them like cattle, like upstarts, like they are being forced to be there and need to be disciplined with a strict hand.
At my school people loved to be there. People loved the school, the teachers, they threw there back packs down in the hallway instead of lockers, they called their teachers by their first names, they were treated by equals. What the hell is wrong with America that this is a "special" school??
Maybe I'm especially bitter because I'm tired as hell. Matt's dog ran away last night and he was really upset about it. I was upset too and I barely knew him. His parents think he was eaten by coyotes which is really really sad because he was a sweet nice dog.
he's the dog on the left :(
