What would a person do with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Humanities? I’ve been looking at the degree from UNC-Greensboro because it seems interesting, but I can’t really see it being useful.

Why do I blog? What purpose does it serve? Does it protect me from being social, or does it give me something to do to fill my time? I really don’t know anymore, and there are days when I question the existence of the blog. It started being for academics, primarily, for my to document […]
I am presently enrolled in 18 credit hours and I am not happy. I am still bored. Nothing seems to challenge me and I don’t really like feeling like this. I feel incomplete.

I just took my first attempt at the first quiz in American History. It didn’t take me long, about 25 minutes for 20 questions (out of 30 minutes allowed). I was a little uncertain about it going in, but I did relatively well. I don’t really love history, but don’t hate it either. I got […]
A quick email to Dr. Dellinger this morning fixed all of my problems. Proper forms are on file with the registrar to recognize my HIS-131 as "in progress", and Dr. Dellinger defended my change of course for the literature course to the registrar.
At some point the Associate in General Education disappeared from my "programs" list at Gaston College. With the letter I just received I wonder if perhaps something was done to cause problems for that degree as well. It was already complete when I turned in the documentation, I was just waiting for a semester to […]

This deficiency in your record prohibits you from receiving your degree at this time. However, […]
