No Wonder No One Graduates from This Place

As part of my plan to go to graduate school, I thought it might be good to take some extra classes before I started my graduate work.

I thought that I could move to Boise and take some classes from Boise State University. Please keep in mind that I went to Boise State for two years of my undergrad and wasn't impressed. However, I thought one semester would be tolerable and I would get to move out of Moscow and hang with my cousin in Boise.

I was excited. It sounded like an awesome plan. I could live with my cousin, go to school for a semester and gather more work to put in my portfolio for grad school. I know, it was a great plan.

I emphasize was because Boise State sucks. Of course I got in. Who doesn't? It probably didn't hurt that I already have a degree. It took them weeks to process my information. I had to send in extra information, for whatever reason, that could be found on my FAFSA.

So okay, the office work to get me in was a little crazy, I guess I can handle that. I finally get the okay to sign up for classes and there aren't any. The art classes I need are either filled or not being offered for Fall 2009 semester. Awesome. Even better, they don't have wait lists so it's looking like I'm SOL.

I my next option, or so I thought, was to contact a professor in the art department that could maybe guide me through the kind of classes that would be helpful for my portfolio and what I want to do.

HA! I can't get a single one of them to write me back. Call me or otherwise acknowledge my existence in this universe. Assholes. You became a professor to help students. To teach students. Well, here I am, a student. Help me. Grr!

I can't believe this. It shouldn't be this complicated. My god, getting into grad school and getting everything set up is easier than this. People in major universities like Stanford, San Francisco State University, oh and the University of Idaho are willing to work with students. Help them.

Boise State sucks and they need to take a check of there operating practices. They have a great football team. Well, woop-de-fucking-doo! I don't play football and quite frankly, football isn't going to build my portfolio.

Okay. That was my rant about Boise State and my adventure towards getting into grad school.
