kurorahkWell not much happened yesterday, nor so far today. I slept in tell two in the afternoon yesterday, and repeated it again today, though I did manage to force myself to wake up at seven this morning like I wanted to, then after an hour went back to sleep. Yesterday I was up for just a bit over twelve hours, so I slept a lot, and I slept a lot today which hopefully means soon I will get onto a normal sleep schedule.
Apparently my brother just got accepted into PSU (Portland State University) so good for him, now he can get a actual degree in Computer Science. Mean while tuition is going up for me, which sucks, because it going up by $550 a semester is a lot when already I know I am very close to a breaking limit of funding... Of course they could you no get ride of a few staff who they don't need, which I bet they have a few that they could just lay off and give a stifle to tell economic pick up again. Also why the hell would they raise tuition when they are getting a huge amount of Freshman this year?!
Anyways... hopefully I do not have to deal with going in debt other than federal student loans...
Aurg! Why is it so hard for middle class people to go to college? Is it because of our shitty capitalist society built on the backs of the poor so the rich might get a chance to grab hold of the sun?! I hate that we of the middle class regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation, gender, political disposition, &c. are the ones who get screwed when it comes to higher education. The upper class gets to laugh at us while being complete snobs while we struggle to come up with money, while the poor get huge amounts of funding to help them along in the endeavor for higher education. While we, the middle class, are told yes you have the money you need to get through college, or have other options available to us. NO WE DON'T YOU FUCKING PRICKS! the other options either puts us closer to being poor, or death, and by death I mean serving in the military with a bunch of self-righteous racist, sexist bigots... We who are in the middle class need a bit more help with getting through college so that we may get ahead in life, and do what we enjoy doing. I don't care who says that I should be okay with getting scholarships and grants, it is not easy for anyone in the middle class, why? Because as being in the middle class we have closer to the amount of money needed to get though college with just one or two loans, and maybe a scholarship. FUCK THAT! We may not need as much money as the people who are poor but we too need money to get through college also, and you know what, also by me being average it does not help with getting scholarships, grants, or money at all. I have never gotten a paycheck, I have volunteered a good 2 years of my life with over 200 hours of volunteer work each of those years, what do I get, NOTHING.
If people really want the rescission to end we need to make it possible to get the well trained workers we need and also keep the doors to everyone open, and not close them with high tuition. /rant
