OK, back to business

I was going to keep this on ice until next month…

But anyway, I’m back to business on LJ, and with a month’s accumulation of news. And oh, the many things which could happen within a month, too (search on Google News)!

1) Google and “The Great Firewall of China”

2) Google using Ubuntu for their servers.

3) China in Africa

4) Wazobia, new Linux distro from Nigeria

5) Beijing sponsors Red Flag Linux

6) “.Mac” for Ubuntu

7) New Warner Robins community on LJ

8) R.I.P. Coretta Scott King

9) Sir Tim Berners-Lee gets a blog

10) CBC gets a new, BBC-ish graphical setup

11) Jack Abramoff and Washington’s new clothes

12) Father Gerry is released for treatment in Miami

13) China is so rich that it can’t keep count!

14) I’m through with Oglethorpe; heading back to Warner Robins for freshman redux at MSC.

YES. That last one is a DEFINITE.

I’m sorry, but in the last semester of this utter failure of a freshman year, I have not had any money left to pay for books (NOTE: there are only 13 people on this campus who are paying their entire tuition, and I’m most definately NOT one of those 13). Plus, the Registrar, Financial Aid Office, and Business Office all gave both me and my mother much unnecessary grief in regards to financial aid, classes, and majors (I was sent on a merry-go-round by the first office to the second and third just to cancel a single class just last week).

I’m sorry, but this year is pretty much over.

I’m transferring out of this school with my high school transcripts rather than my college credits (I only received 5 from last semester). Possibly Macon State (public, so it’ll take my HOPE in full).

Finally, I simply cannot stand the liberal arts core curriculum, but then again, this IS a liberal arts college. Pretty much, the only reason why I came here in the first place was because this school sent me the most letters and responses. I was aiming for other, less feasible schools, such as the University of Western Ontario, CSU Monterey Bay, and others, and randomly so.

So I realize that I’ve made a terrible mistake in coming here at all.

I’ll be back in WR tomorrow for my b-day weekend.

Hopefully, I won’t have to see Atlanta’s shitty roads as much in the coming months.

Peace out.
