I just lost a first draft of this one
:cry: .
I have written about my past disasterous attempts to go back to college by going to State University of New York and University of Wisconsin Green Bay :cry: . Now I will write about a different disaster :( , an attempt to go back to college by going back at New York University. I think it started before the Fall 1995 semester and thus finished in 1996. I guess, since it was not a state university, I was being " more ambitious " than trying for SUNY and UWGB. Perhaps you will say that I am s**t and nothing and deserved punishment for trying to go above my station. I was living in the NYC area then, though, and it was local for me - But, as you will see, the College-Industrial Complex really stabbed me in the back and twisted the knife :( .

NYU is a great place----but it is mighty expensive.

It would have been a good school for creative sorts.

I wish I could have gone there.

Could you please tell your story without involving the readers this way?

...I drove in to Manhattan to take the admissions test - Was it on the last possible day I could take it? Perhaps not. I was living with my father, but I did not tell him. I passed, and got in.
Furthermore, having done this with no prep at all, I scored at - If there were, perhaps, four levels of doing acceptably well, I got in at not the lowest level, but the next up level - despite being totally outside if the educational.world at that time. -And I'm not now? :( - I was told I could start classes - but the money had to come in soon, and my past HS records had to come in soon. So, I provisionally took early class-es. Little did I know what was to follow :cry:.

You did better than me, ASS-P. I couldn't drive when I was that age.

And you did....get into NYU. But crap happened.

Didn't they just lock this thread?

Anyways, no you are not Hitler for asking people here to find your transcripts or whatever, its nowhere close to that level of bad, and I think deep down you know that. But it is still inappropriate and unacceptable here in a public discussion forum with strangers.

Yep he's clearly continuing a thread that was locked. It's totally up to the staff of course, but personally I'm okay with it if he doesn't continue involving the readers and it doesn't end up going the way all the others before it have.

Bleecker Street--the cafes Reggio and Figaro, the stoop of an apartment building between MacDougal and Sullivan Street.

I hung out with a motley group of people then.

...I did't really have a group of friends - or even acquaintances :( - to hang out with, and lower Manhattan was a long ways away from upper-ish Westchester and.I never quite developed a " hanging out " muscle - Aspic- " difficulty with social codes " - remember :cry: ?
Even as far as staying out nights if I was in NYC, there was the matter of making the last commuter train. from Grand Central, about 1:20 . Only many years after that, then, did I find out that even for being from the suburbs - N. J. and Long Island had 3 A. M. type milk trains bCk from NYC. Westchester didn't :cry: . Had I had that, I could have stayed out later and maybe had more a social life. So much of my life was lack of access-connection :cry:

The people I hung out with weren’t friends, per se. They were just THERE, mostly.

He insists that everyone had help that he has no access to. What help I had did NOT come from random folk online, and that's not what this forum is for.

He has access to the same help. All schools have people you can talk to about class planning, financial aid, and etc.

...YOU. HAD. HELP.
NOW you admit it, you f*****g liar :evil: ! :( Whether you found it online or not is UTTERLY IRRELEVANT.
I did NOT have access to proper help and infrastructure and I certainly do not now!! !! !! !! !! !
This thread - WHICH YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP :x - was, like the stopped.one before, to SHOW that I DID try to get - " all on my own ", incidentally, as you - WERE - so obsessed! :twisted:
I TRIED :cry: . the College-Industrial Complex pissed in my face :cry: . " I tried, and I cried " :cry: . You. WITH ALK THE HELP YOU HAD :cry: , have - sucessfully :( - stopped me from even talking about my great hurt :( , even with no request for help.
This story if ducking hateful NYU is an illustration of how the " normal " admissions thing always went wrong for me :cry: - and hoe I would need help - initially, getting my transcripts for myself, so that any games my HS would play would be irrelevant - Doing that first, before any attempt to apply happens, someone and me digging them up as S first step before any application.
You want to stop me from going to university. just because you're mean :cry: - and you worship your beloved " false background GED " scheme so, and want vengeance on me for rejecting it.

All I'm saying is that its outrageous to ask random people online to do these things for you. Its not why they are here, and its not what this forum is for. And yes, I see from past locked threads that is what you really did want and tried to make happen.

I'm not stopping you from doing anything. But I can tell you that taking a full course load is no Shangri la. Its exhausting for healthy people who are in their 20s and 30s. Who don't have congestive heart failure and COPD and missing toes.

...Well, maybe I'd die then. What do you care?
I do need my transcriptions lined up. even if not by you, but anyway...
-aimed at people in general, not just you- If I had a heart attack and died while doing S in thing, maybe I'd have at least had a taste of what I always wanted before I died :cry: .
