Lemons Anyone?

When life gives you lemons...don't make lemonade..THROW THEM AT SOMEONE! At least that's my motto.

I have recently discovered that my school is in jeopardy because it is a for profit school and the EDMC who owns them is currently being sued for fraudulent behavior...i.e.. stealing 11 BILLION DOLLARS over the last 8 years in financial aid from students who had NO BUSINESS being at any of these schools, but were duped into going with false hopes and promises of a better job, better life..blah..blah..blah..

So naturally I am angry and sad because I have been duped myself. Duped into thinking that I could somehow get a quality education in an online environment, from a for profit school. I was wrong. Not the first time I've been wrong and won't be the last I'm sure. However, I still have hope because I am going to re-apply to Penn State and try again in the Spring of 2012. It may take me longer than I expected but not by much if I go to summer school too. I am highly motivated to graduate asap. Only one person knows why really..ehhem (his initials are BFJ) :).

So, for now my school days are on hold; however, my education is not, because I continue to learn everyday whether it's a life lesson or something Ben is teaching me such as art, music, philosophy, or how to see and count.

Yes, that's right- he's teaching me how to truly see and it's amazing. When you can even just glimpse the world through the eyes of an artist, you are never ever the same. For this reason I constantly say that I am the luckiest woman on Earth.
