When I was first admitted to college so many years ago, a student got admitted first, then got access to the registration and records system. Times have changed. It now appears that when an application is “viable” and the application file is “complete”, then the access is granted, but there still is that nervous question… […]
I am anxiously watching the grade pages for 3 of my classes. I have a paper in Art History and one in American History that were turned in well over a week ago that I am waiting for grades on, and also a mid-term in C# that I turned in just a few days ago. […]
I thought that preparing a manuscript of my poetry for review by a UNC instructor would be very easy… just pick the poems I like and then submit them in a bound format. Not exactly. I have fighting with myself over the quality of the existing poems and then I’m considering what I will need […]
Reviewing my academic record is a bit like galloping through the woods on a psychotic horse, you are never really sure where you are going to end up. Just about any degree I want I am about 30 hours from. I was reviewing my academic program for Fayetteville State University this morning and discovered that […]
Finished my Art History assignment a few minutes ago. I am much happier with it than I was with literature. It took me 5 days to create 200 words about a few Frost poems, but only about an hour to create 700 words about some paintings by Raphael. Its interesting how I handle visual information […]
I am presently analyzing Robert Frost poems. I entered this process with a fairly high opinion of Frost, but I think he man spent too much time staring out into nature, or reflecting on nature after his experiences.

I have many options when it comes to my academic life for spring. I have open applications with UNC-Greensboro for Liberal Studies and Fayetteville State University (UNC-FSU) for Psychology, and of course there is the obvious option of UNC-Charlotte with Computer Science or Fine Arts (I won’t say BFA, since that is a whole different […]
Assignments exist in my queue Some more important than others I show favor to one or two The favorites are not the ones soon to be due Annoyed here I sit Homework of Frost, C-Sharp and Art Hist Few appeal to me Most ascend me to a fit Frustration it does run deep I dream […]
This semester I am noticing a horrible trend among instructors of web-based courses, they are abandoning the courses for days (or weeks in some cases) and being generally unresponsive when students attempt to communicate with them. For my self-paced C# course I expected that, but not in my Art History and Literature courses. Chris and […]
At some point near the end of this semester I am considering taking a correspondence course from UNC-Chapel Hill called “Advanced Poetry Writing”. It is a self-paced course that has a format allowing the student and instructor to develop the curriculum for the course. I have been wanting another Creative Writing course since Creative Writing […]
