Getting dat BA in History with a secondary education licensure for social studies. All vets at my school, MSU Denver, are retarded libertarians and have never seen Iraq without a Taco Bell. Mentioning my V card is basically an invitation to be ear hosed by a reservist about Obama taking my guns.

Young lady in one of my classes talked about how academic writing is elitist and exclusionary. Advocating for everyone writing in their own personal vernacular because that will make it inclusive (and retarded).

I guess maybe college is full of retards after all

A girl taking her final history course and graduating with a history degree this semester gets her essay back, an essay where the professor said multiple times in class to use Aaron Burr when discussing whatever prompt you choose for this essay. This girl chose a prompt that listed a couple of Founding Fathers but not Aaron Burr. When she got back her C paper she threw a poo poo fit because she was marked off for not using Burr anywhere in the essay and her justification was that Burr wasn't mentioned in the prompt. He wasn't in any prompt! College is full of retards, and they're all passing.

I asked that question to the counselor and the answer I got was "it depends". The paperwork says you can't use it if you have no G I Bill left. The safest bet is to start using it with just one semester left but it does eat your G I Bill time. Make an appointment for an intake and find out!

I didn't think I would feel like that but I've got this dumb anxiety about getting all the poo poo I need and being ready tomorrow. Also I feel weird as gently caress being the old dude in class, but there's lots of vets here but I still feel weird around them too. Need to go home and chill the gently caress out because I'm just psyching myself out.

Bro, just relax. The biggest gently caress ups in the world are probably your classmates. Treat it like a job, show up, go home at the end of the day. The part on campus is just to show your professors you're alive, the stressful part with essays and poo poo is all done in the comfort of your own home.

It's a group meeting with a bunch of other vets, then you wait around for your individual meeting with your counselor, tell them you want to do college,they'll give you homework (market research) and then you wait two months for a call.

Edit: Oh, get this poo poo. I got a nastygram last week announcing the suspension of my financial aid due to GPA bullshit, since apparently the 9 year gap between my garbage GPA plus my combined winter and spring semester GPA being ~3.4 doesn't make some loving neurons spark somewhere. Man, I'm going to have to do some goddamn deep breathing exercises before I go and talk to these motherfucking retards and use some loving crayons to illustrate why they need to give me free money.

My wife had her certification received by the VA on July 25th. She got her book stipend last week. Now we're just waiting for the VA to pay the school the tuition that is due. No idea the timetable on that though. I think the book stipend always comes in before the payment to the school though.

Usually schools wait until the last drop date to do their census, then they notify the VA of your enrollment, then VA pays. You can probably have your enrollment confirmed early if you talk to the military advisor or whatever on campus.
