My refelctions of Millersville this year

I have dropped out twice and everytime it has been different coming back. Everytime I do come back Millersville for me has been different. The first time, I was too idealistic in both my relationship with a friend and in school. Now on the otherhand, I feel that I'm more mature, I know what I want, and I know the resources. For Millersville this time coming back, I'm kind of annoyed. Maybe its because of the classes that I'm taking are repeats, the professors, or it's my classmates. So here is a reflection of Millersville half way through the year:

1. Classes

I don't like going to class like the rest of you, but its important. But I especially don't like going to class and there are people and PROFESSORS coming in on average 15 minutes late. Five minutes, OK ten minutes, maybe. But when you have a class that is 45 minutes long,15 minutes late is the quarter of the class. You are wasting my money and time. For the people who come in 15 minutes late you shouldn't come to class at all. First of all when you come to class late, you have to come in the class all quick but ever so "quiet" which means that your standing putting your jacket on the desk and bookbag on the floor which is pilled with books, as it hits the ground it makes a  "BANG". Its distracting because the professor has to stop speaking and glare at you as you sit down.

Speaking of distractions, cell phones are another issue. I'm going to yell this out right now, "YOU ARE IN A LECTURE. SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONE, HEADSET AND COMPUTER." This is common curtesey. I had a guy in my Recent Political Thought class that he would talk on his headset while the professor was lecturing. One time when my mother was proctoring his exam he even went to the extent of asking "Do I really have to give you my headset?" I'm going to also yell this out right now too, "THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO HAVE A HEADSET UNLESS YOU'RE DRIVING OR WORKING IN TELEMARKETING."  It makes said person douche, making them appear as if they are talking to themself. And finally, what are you doing with your hands when walking somewhere that it's hard to get the handheld out?

Finally, the issue of note taking. Millersville University employs note takers for students for disabilities I'm pretty sure that they have no problem giving them out to people who don't show up for class. I don't mind this because I have access to a free "Kinkos" (Fulton House), but when I offer a notebook I would like it at a specific time so I could study. Oh and don't ask me to copy chapters for you. Thats BULL SHIT!

2. Food

Despite living at home, my "roomates" are like cats. I don't see them at all but I leave a little food out for them and clean after them. So I eat college food which is unhealthy. Millersville went through rennovations of both the SMC and Gordineir. When the SMC was being rennovated The Anchor was a godsend. I don't believe in God but I guess thats what it means if a miricle like this happend. This year I went through a revolution of trying new foods especially foods that are Middle Eastern and Sushi. So when the Anchor offered the same food from the SMC and sushi, salads with Ikea like plates, wraps and food that you can get at the grocery store I did the Carolton. Then when I ate there everyday with a friend and she would get custom sushi rolls, 18 I might add in a box,  I burst out in a song in a Glee like fashion.Since the new SMC has been open the Anchor is only open for the lunch and dinner rush. Enter booing audience right now. Also, there are too many windows in the SMC building. I'm all for saving electricity and having windows on whatever side the sun rises to save on your heating bill, but as I'm eating a burger at the Anchor I don't want to see people accross the way exercising, it makes me feel guilty.
