well frank, gentlemen never tell  ;)

In any case, it made the weekend much better.  Cave Creek is a lovely town.

Getting back on track with classes.  Now that the fuzz and usps have released my prescription meds.

Honestly, the whole idiot with a gun thing really made sitting still hard to do in that first week.

Lucky the Prof is a cool old dude who gets it and is cutting some slack as I play catch up.

The class workbook makes bike building seem more complicated than it needs to be tho.  New curriculum gonna have some kinks.

Go through the exercise - if they want complicated, you give them complicated. Remember why you're there. do the work, F*&k everything else.

Glad you made it safely. Ain't deserts fun?

Made it through the first class with my senses on overdrive.

Life here has been inspiring.  Thanks to everyone back home and abroad who has offered help along the way.

The freeways at night aren't so bad when you're not alone.  I changed my reflection a bit too.  But you'll have to see for yourself what that means.

Tonight, I'll dedicate this one to the zeroes.  And the ones who do a fantastic job of community programming. 

Listen to the music.

Really having a hard time down here.

City life isn't for me at all.  People are weird, this cult of personality #$%* gets old.  Liars and cons, makes it hard to trust anyone.

Okay, now I'm madder than a hornet.

Toxic, #$%*ing, Masculinity working the student services desk.
sorry ma'am.  But I'm dealing with a whole lot of real #$%* that even a woman oughta be able to relate to. 
If you want to be that dispassionate in your attitude towards how men and women deal with stress differently.  Go ahead.  Make my day.

I'm sick of this bull#$%*.  For-profit, privatized industry school teaching young people how to do B level work.  I've been working on basics since I was 23.  Talk to me like I'm stupid; one, more, time.

Just to add to the fun factor here.  I've been having to cope with gas station harassment and intimidation by that joker at Rock Springs after an interview with Arizona Outdoor Fun Tours.  I was not entertained.
Trying to make friends ain't #$%*in working for me.  Cause I can't express myself without a stupid #$%*ing keyboard.
I'm sure making a lot of enemies.
Cyber Hacked trying to find a job online.  Google Maps literally running me in circles for a week.  Someone else got into my apps and began calling all the shots.  Getting random texts and emails that I didn't generate showing up in my boxes.
Some cougar with a disability grabbed my goat and forced a kiss on me.  Then gaslit me in front of the school.  Guess who had to take the heat for that #$%* in the big office.
My text messaging and call apps getting #$%*ed with by this cyber criminal during the whole shebang.  When the #$%* couldn't wait for me to launder his dirty money.  I went to the police.  But guess what that cost me.  Three hours of class time that I can't get a hall pass for.  Because who at this school cares a student became a victim of cyber crime.  NOBODY
The mooks also don't seem to care who is a homeless transient or not.
I've had it with everything at this #$%*ing school.
Instructors that can't wait for students to leave campus and #$%* right off.
Lying to parents and prospects about the stem classroom with the simulator being "just like the real thing"
It isn't.
Gravity doesn't lie.
These #$%*wits do.

They cowtow to the vets.  Great yeehaw whatever.  I'm a ranger brat.  And when my good time gets #$%*ed with.  I got an escape and evade right from my old mans handbook.

Right along with that childhood ptsd #$%* too.

My trust in everything is so #$%*ing broken I am packing my bags and ditching this joint.

Tomorrow.  After getting my new tires rebalanced for the 3rd time.  Since the tech working on longma can't seem to make it ride smooth as I can.

I am sorry this didn't work out for you.  I have had something similar happen to me at a trade school. Several years later they came after me saying that I took money. Turned out to be one of the crooked administrators. Get yourself back home and start working on plan B or C.

There are a few other things I can accomplish here in Phoenix that simply aren't being taught on campus.

I'm alright with the wildlife (support your local conservation efforts!)

It's the kangaroos in the courts and office buildings that need dealt with.

Whoa, whoa, whoa man.
Pump the brakes on the withdrawing stuff until you have a while to think this course of action through.

Like Don said you may be able to turn this anger you have to your advantage to stick it to every punk-ass at that place when you give them a V salute with a sheepskin in your possession on the way out the door. If you walk out right now you may still owe for an entire year at the least. Take some deeps breaths and think about it and then think about it some more.

Are there behavior counselors on staff that you can talk to about some of these issues you are dealing with?

I hate to say it but this is kinda the MO of these for profit schools in this day and age- check clears and you get a substandard education if one at all- Trump U anyone?

If you are not learning the things you think you would and have talked to your teachers after class the yeah, you would probably be best to exit stage left before this messes you up that much more.

Good luck and godspeed with whatever decision you decide to take.
