having a taste for "5th quarter" (Ox Tail, Turkey Neck) helps to reduce cost. Important things like education are spending priority. They buy second hand repossessed cars as the financial situation improves.
Oxtail, where I am, has suddenly become expensive, as people seem to have discovered it tastes good.
The tricks of the trade (living on a low budget) are get harder.
However, I'm curious, how many slashdotters are raking it in, so to speak?
I know plenty of skilled coders out there who don't make the money they should be making, for whatever reason.
Of course, plenty for me, could be a paltry sum for/. itself.
See, in their infinite wisdom, it was decided that both campuses, brooklyn and li would have the same math final.... There was one small catch, in this particular case, we (my class) got a new math teacher. He didn't know anything as far as we could tell. He spent almost an entire session trying to figure out how to connect two dots on a graph... With a ruler even... This because he wanted to solve a problem graphically. You could do it just by looking...
(I can still remember shouting in student services next door what the answer to the problem was. I think the answer was 2. I wonder if the people who didn't leave the classroom heard me shouting about how they needed to fire this guy. I hope he did.)
Now imagine an entire classroom's frustration as the teacher does this repeatedly when they have to cover about 4 chapters in a week.
This is why, after a small while, students began to cut the class in order to study for the final. As far as I can tell, it proved effective. Many who stayed, failed.
Why is it that I always end up in a crowd of few girls? When I was younger I was the only girl in the comic book shop, then the only girl in the computer room, then one of a few girls in a college, and now? Please tell me there are some other girls beside me here?
A lot of my college picking was partially decided by my father.
This one covered most of the tuition with scholarship. I got into RIT, RPI, and a few others.
I know at least one person who got into MIT but went here. He knows his stuff too. I think he fled to MIT when all this went down however.
Money, and a good show, was how they suckered me in. When I tried to transfer, and explain to people the true face of this college, my family wouldn't listen to me, and those who could offer me financial support didn't.
Polytech has also come up with a phantom $5000 I "owe" them. I'm not the only person that happened to, but I am one of the few who couldn't get their parents to browbeat the school into admitting it was a "clerical error". So, I'm one of the few who still "owe" them this phantom cash.
Guess what that means when I try to tranfer?
Nevermind the fact that my mother recieved a phone call, from someone who claimed to be a teacher of mine, and convinced my mom to give her my new contact info. A few days later, like 1 or 2 days later, I get a phone call. It's from a collections agency, about money I supposedly owe Polytech. Hmm.. that doesn't sound quite legal...
This is my Poly Shaft.
As Tomaj said (btw, whassup?) they won, and I lost.
Maybe, just maybe, this article might get the right people looking around.
Quite frankly, I'd like to get on with my education.
I was in for at least a year before I was told, and it wasn't but a few weeks before the meeting that Smidge mentioned. In which our esteemed president began to yell at noone for talking during his speech. Anyone else who was there knows what I was talking about: "If you don't be quiet, I'll leave!" It was so funny, except it didn't give me confidence in the school. "Oh great, the president of the school is a crazy man.." Soon after that, I started missing classes because I was out of state.
As for the male/female population, I was often the only girl in my class, sometimes, there were two girls. *gasp*
That will only serve to make the problem worse. If you, starting with a base of all, remove the "bad" sites from view, you will get some "decent" sites gone, but still a rather large set of viewable sites, purley because of the immense size of the web. If you instead decide to start w/ a base of none and try to place the "good" sites into view, you will end up w/ most decent sites gone and an even smaller group of accepted sites, once again a result of the sheer size of it.

Hmm, I think the one they gave me was the "Promise" scholarship...
I suddenly have the feeling they had their fingers crossed behind their back.
To be fair, the guy who used to be the Dean of the Farmingdale Campus is nice, and he tried, and also got shafted.

Oh like I couldn't figure out who you were. How the f*cks it going?
Yeh, it's creepy innit? And I know at least one more person you know who is looking at this. In fact, he's the one who showed me this Perl.
