Screwed over by MCC

Background: I’m in the 2+2 program with MCC and RIT in an Information Technology major. Basically what this means is that I go to MCC (a community college) and pay much less tuition for the first two years of my college education, and then am automatically transfered to RIT (a very expensive private college) for the other 2nd two years – no application necessary. I’m currently in my 3rd semester at MCC, which should mean that next semester would be my last – and then I’d move on to RIT.

Situation: Registration started a couple days ago, so, because I’m the good student that I am, I started making out my schedule. I only need 4 classes: CIS 209, CSC 206, Statistics, and Advanced Java… none of which I was thrilled about having to take. (more…)

I’ve officially moved into the dorm at MCC (Pioneer).

I’ve got my own suite, next to Spencer’s. Our roommates are cool.

Books and Such

I went to MCC today and got my books. I decided not to get the one for the networking class I’m auditing unless I talk to the professor and he says I need it. There was also one other that I wasn’t able to get (they were out?). Even without those two, the total bill came to like $3XX.

I also ordered prescription sun glasses.  They’re pretty sweet, I can’t wait until they come in.

And then when I got home I put my new work and class schedule into iCal… it’s scary. If I were to put in time to study (class time x2), time to eat, and time to sleep…. I would have no time left. So there goes what little social life I had. haha. I may have to tell Hurricane that I can’t work on Saturdays. Hopefully if I do have to go that route Jeremiah won’t mind too much. He pretty much works 6 days a week as it is, at least then he’d get paid for it.

Off to school (LCS) and Angio bright and early tomorrow, so good night.

Wow, crazyness (graduation)

So I’m done.

It’s strange and wonderful and I love being done and hate being done all at the same time.
Senior fun night was sweet, and the actual ceremony went well.

Thanks everyone for making senior year, and my entire high school career what it was.
Shouts go out to  the class of ‘07 and all of the awesome teachers I’ve had over the years.

Pictures will be up on Flickr soon (DIG! WHAT IS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS?). If anyone wants higher res pics that I might have, email me (ben @ benw dot us).
If anyone has pics from senior fun night, email them to me! I forgot my camera. :(

Awesome Opportunity

Wow, so this goes under a lot of categories.
This summer my school is going to be looking for a network engineering intern.
They want to add their mini-Mac lab to their Novell network.
So I’m really excited. I’d love to be able to do that and work at Hurricane.
