Electronic Tumbleweeds

I didn’t make it into the Advanced Academy. My mom’s trying to appeal that decision to a higher-up though, and I really want to do this, so keep those fingers crossed.

I got a letter from UWG talking about how they needed a signature for my financial aid to go through, which could be something they have to have before they’ll admit you; but along with the letter was a yellow note saying that I got the letter in the mail because I was a new student. Of course, when I called, I just got the runaround. So what say you 0 readers: am I in?

I had my interview about the Advanced Academy of GA yesterday. I do believe I did well, and I hope to hear good news from them early next week. Now the waiting…ugh the waiting is the hardest part.

…but it never really was mine in the first place. I was piggybacking off someone else’s Wi-Fi, and the finally wised up and added WEP security. I could probably crack it, but I don’t want to. So now I’m posting from a library and posts might come few and far-between for the time being.

Oh and PS, I got my application in for the Advanced Academy of GA.

I called them wanting to get one of their free trial CDs for Japanese, and I must have been asked to buy the full-fledges version about 4 or 5 times. Now I had and do not have any problem with buying the thing flat out, but there is just one thing that basically stopped me:

1. I’m 15. That means that I cannot legally have a job to pay for your awesome software, and even if I did, I couldn’t pay for it with a debit or credit card because I couldn’t get a credit card if I tried and I couldn’t get a debit card with my checking account because I am too young for one.

Now I’m not mad at them for trying to sell it to me-otherwise this would’ve gone in the “Rants” category-, but 4 or 5 times? I can easily understand once or twice, but 4 or 5 times? It mae me want to tell them I was 15 so they (or more specifically she, since my disembodied telephone voice was a woman…I hope) would stop trying to shill me out of nearly $200, but I do believe that they would not send me out a free CD if I had.

Coming in to the movie, I thought “I hope Michael Bay didn’t fuck it up, but Jalopnik said it was cool, so he couldn’t have done too much damage.” Considering I paid $7.50 for a ticket (!; Visiting family in another state, it’s usually $4.50 for a matinee at home), I was expecting something big to recoup my losses. I can certainly say I got what I paid for. Keep in mind that this will not be the bast Transformers review ever, but it’ll be a nice synopsis. WARNING: EXTREME SPOILERS AHEAD.
