Spring, Please.

So I suppose its been a few days since I've shared my thoughts and ideas. I've got some thoughts and ideas now. This'll be a hell of a post.  It was yesterday on the bus ride to PW that I thought I finally had something to write about.  These always seems to be something wrong with these bus rides.  You remember a few posts ago with the bus that broke down, well this bus worked perfectly, it was actually a very nice bus.  There were fancy lights, and carpet on the walls and mirrors on the ceiling.  These perks were immediately muted out, literally, by the sound of Italian opera music. I had my iPod in, but couldn't even hear my own music.  Meghan was sitting beside me but we couldn't talk because of the obnoxious noise coming from the five thousand speakers in this wonderful bus.  Luckily it was kinda warm out, but the wind made it colder.
I am thoroughly upset, to say the least, with George Mason. We have almost an unlimited amount of money, yet they still charge unreasonable amounts of money for just about everything.  Housing just went up another 500-1000 dollars for what?  The room now, and the room I will get has not changed. Don't try and say that it will be a better room. GMU cant even finish one thing. Stop doing construction in 45 different places at once and concentrate on one and maybe, just maybe something will get done.  Roads are closed, sidewalks are torn up, I was late to class because you have some stupid guy in a trench coat waiving his finger at me saying I can't bike up a road that you just let 18 cars go on.  Share the road and don't make me late to class.  You want me to keep going to your school and giving you money?  How about you make me want to stay here.  Don't act surprised when you get hundreds of complaints on housing and construction on campus.  You're turning this into middle school again when you try to hold our hands and say what we can and cant do.  How about take a poll of the students and see what we want, and don't want.  Don't just guess and think we'll be happy with your decisions.  You're not pleasing anybody by raising prices and limiting the student body to what they can and cannot do.  Isn't it supposed to be a learning community?  Learning happens when you are happy with your situations.  If I get told to walk somewhere else on my way to class and it causes me to be late, I am losing my educational opportunities and it pisses me off.  I take classes because 1.) I am interested in them, and 2.) I need to take them.  Don't make unannounced changes and force the consequences upon me.  It doesn't make me happy, as you can tell. Somethings got to change. Its not going to be me.
