I have a huge desision to make right now. Should I continue going to school for at least another year or quit before I waste more money and end up in the hospital again. The teacher I have this term for one of my classes has been the worst teacher I have ever had, worse then the one I had in high school who lost all of my assignments and failed me for it. She can not keep anything straight, she is constantly telling me something is done wrong, I fix it and she tells me it’s wrong again it needs to be done the way I did it the first time. I have never received a zero for an assignment I have done and turned in until this teacher. It seems she thinks that everyone who is not black is stupid or something. It’s a cultural diversity class that is really pointless as the book just blames all of the worlds problems on white people. It’s annoying to read and pretty much makes me feel that the world would be better if I just shot myself and all other white people. (I’m not going to, don’t worry)

Thats not the only problem, and I blogged about this next one already, but she put up links to other sites with questions related to the site that we had to write a paper on. When I used the site as a reference she gave me a zero and told me I could only use the book.

I don’t know about you but I think she’s just out to fail anyone she can. Usually I have just dealt with confusing teachers and moved on, but she is really a bad teacher. I’m trying to drop the class so at least it won’t effect my GPA, but I really am not sure i want to attend this school anymore, Baker really does not care about their students. I know other collages are like this, but they are still helpful because the know you’ll go somewhere else if they are not. Baker doesn’t transfer well to any school so they know your stuck. I’m still deciding what to do, as I have to have a bachelors degree to get a job in the interior design field, but I just am worried that all of these issues with these online teachers is going to send me back to the hospital. The only good thing is that if I can drop this class I would take it again next term along with another online class and be done with online classes.

Theres other issues too, like trying to get an independent study (part of why I’m really worried about my gpa) If I don’t get it I have to go another year.

Today I called my insurance company to find out if I had coverage for a full cranial prosthesis, pretty much a very nice expensive wig. I have to wear one as I have scarring alopecia and really don’t have a choice if I want to go out in public without people staring or getting grossed out. I should have known better then to get my hopes up. Once again I wanted something and now I can’t have it. They told me it’s not covered.

I had also decided a yesterday that I would pay off some bill instead of get a laptop. Well my computer once again reminded me why I need one as it crashed yet again because of the bad video card. Unfortunately I can’t take out the card as then the computer does not run well at all, pretty much no internet for me if I remove the card.

So now I’m back to getting the laptop, that yes I still want, but I want the house more, I can’t get the house unless I can improve my credit score. The score that was okay 2 days before I called on the mortgage, but spiraled downward when I tried to apply. Apparently they have updated the scoring method because nothing has changed on any of my reports.

I’m thinking it’s time to give up and realize I will be paying almost $600-800 a month to get to school as I can’t even rent a place because of my credit. I just don’t understand how that works I can pay that much to get to school, but I can’t pay a $200 mortgage? I guess it’s just time to give up on everything, I may even have to quit school. How fun is that?

Well I have decided that my math teacher is a Bitch. Yep I said it, she is a bitch. Apparently if you don’t have a math problem in your response to something it is not a meaningful post. So I am now going to fail this class because she is an incompetent fool.

She never said what she actually considered a decent post. She didn’t help anyone until it was too late, really I’m not impress and tempted to contact the school and ask for my money back. I don’t feel that she is a good teacher for an online class. There were many first time online students who had no idea what to do as she just assumed everyone had taken an online class.

I really needed to pass this class and now I just don’t see it happening. I just don’t know what to do. I can’t drop it now without paying for the whole thing. I’m waiting for her response as to why my post are bad and if she can’t give me a good response I guess I’m going to have to go into a huge argument with the school.

Oh and again never ever go to Baker Collage, they suck. The only reason I’m still there is that my credits won’t transfer anywhere else.

I ran into an old roommate of mine. She was a lot of fun a few years ago when I lived with her and she still is today. Back then she was going to school to be a masseuse but dropped out, now she is going to be a medical assistant. She says she likes the idea much better and it pays more but she also said it took her forever to find a good medical assistant school. Everyone kept referring her to Baker, but she didn’t want to go back there. Personally I don’t blame her after the problems I had. I have seen an online program from St. Augustine that looks like a great program for this type of work. The best part is you can do it all online and quickly. I know for many students the faster you can get done the better.  Another great thing about them is that they will help you set up payments that work well for you.

I don’t think I could be a medical assistant, but I have huge respect for anyone who is. I can stand blood, but I feel what people feel when they are hurt and I also feel horrible for them on top of it. I would probably get use to it, but I don’t think I want to find out. My old roommate though, she is the type to do this kind of work, she doesn’t mind blood or any of that and she’s a really nice person. I wish she had been around longer then 2 months, I may have enjoyed the dorms more.

I feel strange, this year I don’t have a sibling graduating. I’m not graduating either, but one of my friends from school will be and I’m sure she will be looking for graduation invitations. A Collage graduation is a little different when you go to a community or business collage, most people don’t go all out for invitations they keep it simple and only have a few guest. I know thats what I did when I got my associate degree, my bachelors I may send out something for and maybe have a small get together.

Anyway I recommended to my friend Vista print. As I love using them, they are very fast and the product is good. I’ll find out tomorrow if she used them or not. Thats when I’ll see her. I love vista print because every time I use them I get a great product at a good price. With the graduation invitations you can get 10 for $7.99. For her that would work out great I think she only needs about 8 or 9. I would need more then 10, but thats still a great deal. I’m kinda worried about next year, it will be very strange to not have this girl there and of course the fact that I’m going to be done next year too. It went by fast, even with the half year or so I took off.

Tomorrow at school there is an expo where some projects will be shown to people who may hire someone. Unfortunately I have not had many projects since I started back so my only hope to be shown in the expo is to get our project done today and get it looking really good.

The problem comes with the rest of my group, well not all of them the other girl is worried about it to. I don’t blame the other two for not wanting to do anything, they are freshman and still have 4 years before they have to worry about finding a job. They will have many more projects to do that may look better anyway. While the other girl and I are graduating next year I believe and both will have to be out looking for work. She wants this done well and it will be, but I work amazing under pressure and it will look good and be done tonight.

After being out of school and looking for work for a year I know how hard it is to find a job, the architecture world that the guys will be in may not be as bad, I don’t know. I do know that the interior design profession is very competitive and hard to get a decent job in. Lets put it this way, before I started school I worked at walmart with 4 women who had gone to school for interior design. I knew before I started school this would be hard.

We will see what happens I guess. I leave here around 11 for the 2 hour drive and I won’t be back until 11pm or later. I’m starting to get tired of driving this drive and I love to drive. Oh well.

I have decided that it’s going to be cheaper for me to move out and closer to school then it will be to drive down there 3-4 days a week. So now I am trying to save money to do so. Right now my plan is to make enough with my swat cash earnings to have the deposit to rent a house. I will use my other earnings for rent and electric and all of that. I should only need around $450 for the down payment by august and I think I can do it.

The best thing about swat cash is that I can set my payment amount for 400 and I won’t get paid until I reach that amount. I will have 2 months to do it in as I have to use the almost $200 I made last month for other bills this month. I’m excited about moving and at least this time I have everything I need, I just need money for bills and so on. I have furniture and dishes and all that good stuff.

I just think it’s time for a change again. It’s only for a year until I’m done with school, then I’m off somewhere else. I’m not sure where yet, really it’s wherever I can find work.
