The three hour police standoff in Ferguson this afternoon ended with a SWAT team finding the house to be empty. The man they were searching for, named Lorenzo, had escaped to a nearby church, where people there spoke with him and convinced him to turn himself over to the police. Lorenzo, who is schizophrenic, is currently receiving mental health attention.

Just got back from a nice drive to Ventura County and back. Sometimes I feel guilty getting paid for a day like this. Anyways, here’s a song written about a similar day, but I still can’t explain how it got so angst-ey.
– just as much of a quality education as you would get at a state school or uni
– much more affordable
– usually more night classes that make going to school while working and/or taking care of kids much easier
– transfer students actually have a higher graduation rate than students who have been at a university all 4 years
– there is nothing wrong with aspiring to go to a community college
– there is nothing wrong with being proud of attending a community college
– there is absolutely nothing wrong with community college
I got all my math, English and most of my basic science at community college. I felt with the semester system that there was enough time to really learn the subjects, and there is a better student to professor ratio. I mistakenly took one basic biology class at the 4 year and it was very stressful due to the quarter system, the fact that there were literally 300 people in the class and that the professor was less interested in teaching us than posturing about how important they are because they wrote the textbook. I barely got through that class.
I’m on two decongestants and antibiotics. Good times.
