    crawford what kind of shangri-la do you learn at where you get four unexcused absences

    i get two.

    It's an art class on a day where we don't have critique, so I'd just be in the studio twiddling my thumbs for hours.

    a professor I took a class from last fall emailed me this morning

    apparently he's got to put together a portfolio of student work that shows what a bitchin' teacher he is

    and he wanted to use one of my essays as "an example of a strong response to the assignment"

    pretty pleased with that

    It actually makes sense. Have 'magnet' schools be geared toward specific trades or career fields, while the rest, and the charter schools, are geared more toward college prep.

    In theory, I want to like the idea, but I'm not sure I trust it to be implemented very well.

    Yeah, this.

    My major issue with any "career track and academic track" policies is that since American schools are already systemically segregated by socio-economic status (and ergo, race in a lot of places) that the folks who get shunted into the "trade school" track are going to be overwhelmingly poor and mostly brown and the folks who get shunted into the "fancy book learning in college" track are going to be overwhelmingly rich and mostly white, regardless of the actual abilities those students have.

    Not to mention it'd be yet another step towards ending any pretense of class mobility in the U.S.

    Hey, so I haven't talked to an advisor yet, but if they request that I take SATs before my application can be filled, is that a 'whenever you want' thing, or a certain time of year, what?

    I know, should've done it sooner, but they didn't need it for community college. They may not need it now if I do my pre-reqs at a CC and transfer later either, I've heard.

    Hey, I turned 21 two weeks ago. You know what that means.
    I hope you do because I don't. I just know it's related to bars and drinking or something. This is a very awkward invitation to hang out at a bar.

    I don't remember how the scheduling worked, but I remember that I scheduled for the SAT. Not sure about exactly when they run.

    Anyway, I wouldn't think that you would need it if you've got your pre-reqs. Its generally for gauging incoming freshmen.

    I can't get concept work done in a room with a bunch of people, which is where I'm at in my project. Regardless, I'm still a bit behind schedule, but once I move to fabrication I'll be spending hella hours there. I have a work ethic, damn it!

    Will you only work Tuesday/Wednesday or is that just the first week? If the former, oof. Either way I'll have much more time after finals. Maybe some time this semester if I keep up on this internship project.

    just this week. Well, hopefully just Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Supposed to work Friday too, but I'm supposed to go home and stain the deck. Hopefully they're understanding. But yeah, schedule should be pretty open after that.

    Just let me know, hombre. You got my number. After finals works best for me, anyway.

    I get a letter in the mail from my school

    "you must apply to graduate. The deadline to apply online is Tuesday, April 10th"

    Date letter arrived at my house: April 11th. Meaning now I have to do some paper application... eh, not a big deal. But pretty stupid.

    Also is this a normal thing? That people have to apply to graduate? Like, I completed the program. Pass all the courses. But then I have to apply to graduate? Seems weird.
