So today I wrote a letter to the Dean of the Graduate program at Cal U of PA and expressed my frustrations with the program. I attached the relevant documents and emails pertaining to two professors who accused me of having a tone in my emails (what?!!!!??!?!!!!). I also requested that my undergraduate Instructional Technology class be transferred in to satisfy one of the Master's requirements (duh) and that I get a new adviser (also previously denied). It felt so good to mail the package and it only cost something like $2.50 to mail it but I hardly thought about it. What a relief. 

#students need a voice 

so my dad recently went to an optometrist in MD for an eye exam and a new prescription for two pairs of reading and driving eyeglasses. The business the doctor works for gave him a quote of $965 just for those two pairs of glasses!!!! all those special types. and instead my dad went to a local optician and got the same glasses made for $110.

MUUUUUAAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So today I talked to Drexel Univ. and am again traumatized. I was told on the phone that I have the potential to transfer the Master's credits I've already taken into their online Master's program. But they will not do a transcript review until I apply. I have to fill out the application, pay the fee, get two letters of recommendation, pay to get all my transcripts sent, write an essay and only if I get accepted, they will determine whether the credits can transfer. Such brilliance in the teaching profession. 

this is so hilarious..if I was that guy, I would kill that girl lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeMhjhGe4VA

What an awful weekend. All I did was sleep, do homework, watch movies and do homework. :{
