tidbits

so a few people have asked about fred this week....he was late for class- oh, no! so when he came in his seat was taken....a group of "jocks" took it....the jocks all work as ga's in athletics at albany....anyway, fred was thrown off the whole class....poor guy.

i learned that the average age for college students is now 26....no more of this 18-22 year old stuff....

i met with my ta for stats before class....he reminds me of a mix between george jetson and this boy i went to school with....the boy i went to school with was in my class from kindergarten through high school....he was our basketball manager in junior high and high school....the reason why he reminds me of these two people is- he would totally be the person tracking all the stats at a basketball game (and he has a similar walk to the boy in high school) but yet seems to have the common sense of george jetson....more to come about him

the final tidbit is about financial aid....or my uup benefits.....the benefit is that the union pays for 1 1/2 classes each semester....sounds like a good deal, right? except that you have to fill out five hundred forms and then they have to be approved by 800 people....and you need official letters and then the state has to decide if you deserve to get the money! today i found out that one of my waivers was approved- but the state still hasn't decided about the other one....i love bureaucracy
