I am a little more settled and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SO FAR&lt;/span&gt; things aren't as bad as thought. I do hate the mass amount of drawing courses I have to complete. Currently I am in Beginning Drawing which is a course meant for people to become better artists. It is kind of hard to become a better artist when I can barely draw a line.  I want to design websites damnit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do enjoy the extreme smallness of it. University of Tampa, the school I attended previously, was a small private school but it did require a bit of walking compared to AI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like the way they schedule classes. Because each class meets once a week gives me plenty of time to do homework and because the classes are 4 hours long you feel like you are absorbing just as much if not more than if you were in an 1hr + 2 day a week course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There have been some hiccups though I sent my official transcripts over 3 weeks ago and they still not have evaluated them and there is a hold on my account. When ever I go to ask about it the counselor tells me "Oh,we have them don't worry every thing is fine". Wtf is going on?</description><link>http://aioftampa.blogspot.com/2008/08/first-semester-is-almost-over.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Andy)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498372552378032146.post-1627012366411157311</guid><pubDate>Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-27T08:29:43.369-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>university</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>education</category><title>How it all began..</title><description>I started the Art Institute back in July after being denied readmissions into th University of Tampa.  AI seemed sketchy right off the bat. I mean school in an office building? Then it got even worse once they went through the long tedious process of reviewing my files, looking at my work reading my admissions essay they finally admitted me! It took a whole 2 minutes. Then I had papers shoved in my face to sign.  Sat in that office for hours while they had me sign loan document after loan document. They kept asking me where my mother was.  Finally they got through to my mom via phone and had her on the other line for almost two hours asking her for information so they can fill out the FAFSA. They were extremely pushy to the point of insanity!</description><link>http://aioftampa.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-it-all-began.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Andy)</author></item></channel></rss>
