One word: Grrr!!

In some good news:

I'm wearing neon green and yellow makeup today in celebration of the warm weather. How is that good instead of random? I cannot tell you. Maybe the warm weather makes it good.

I'm also hoping to go to a Josh Groban concert this summer and they have student tickets for $33 (total) for this concert, which is really cheap. (Without the student discount they're $78+ fees, minimum.) This is the first time I've seen a concert have student ticket discounts. Maybe I need to go to more concerts like this- other than the opera.

If you haven't listened to Josh Groban yet (the song 'You Raise Me Up' doesn't count), then I would highly suggest it. His newest album Illuminations is particularly enjoyable. I personally like the songs "Você Existe Em Mim", "Galileo (Someone Like You)", and "If I Walk Away." (For the song "If I Walk Away" the lyrics at the bridge are very beautiful.)

In some bad news:
This morning I sent an email to try and get my transfer credit and exemption pushed through for my Japanese courses. Well the professor I spoke to earlier about it said that all I had to do was fill out a form and that I would be exempt from the language requirement. However, that does not mean that your credits get transferred over. So now I got an email saying, "I'm sorry for the confusion, do you want to be exempt or have the transfer credits pushed through? If you're going to try and be exempt you now have to take a test, which I just thought you would pass already so I was going to exempt you but now I'm not. I can try to get your credits transferred but that doesn't mean they'll go through." Well Mr. I'm-a-professor-and-therefore-can-do-anything-I-want, thank you very much for the clarification.

So now I had to send an email saying that I would just want the credits to go through because the exemption is not important as of now. I have the emails saved to that say that he was going to exempt me from the language and it clearly specifies that I would also like to have the credits transferred, but the administration here can't seem to make up their minds as to what they mean and what they want you to do.

The education system is really aggravating me right now because all they seem to care about is the money and not the actual education of the student. If they want to become ivy-league so bad then they should really consider focusing more on the success rate of the students and the level of the education rather than making it impossible to transfer to their university because they're so impossible to work with. Grrr!!!

I am intensely dissatisfied with the infinitely growing level of human greed.

It seems that the lack of integrity and compassion is far worse than I had hoped it to be... Who am I kidding, I knew this all along. It doesn't make it any less aggravating.

I'm sure by later today I'll have some level of calm, if not resigned to the failure of the system that was supposed to be designed to help us.
