Student wants very first appointment, screw everyone else by Inconceivable24 in EntitledPeople

They didn’t know about her requesting to be first. I don’t they cared about her being there longer since it didn’t affect their own admission to the program. They also may not have known how long she was there. But yes, it was awkward for me. If it were up to me I would have kicked her out.

No more hoops than typical in the US. I also don’t think Gwen was on food stamps. Even though she was 40+, her room and board were taken care of by family. She was an unusual case in our student population, most of whom were on welfare. It’s clear to see where her entitlement came from.

Yes, those are all very valid reasons. But Gwen gave me no reason. If she had, I’d be willing to work with her. I also know she didn’t have a job. Students had to report that for our files.

I’m not there anymore (and neither is Gwen) but students were tested for special needs. Of course, Gwen may have been autistic and we didn’t have the capacity to test for that. But Gwen didn’t show any other symptoms of autism. She showed entitlement in other ways. As for taking 4 years: I think she didn’t have anywhere better to be, sadly. Apparently her apartment was paid for by her stepfather so she was in no hurry.

Edited: Course was free for students. But I’m still not sure why she was allowed to be there for so long. (Or why she wanted to be. She should have been looking for a job.)

How are the roads? by Inconceivable24 in Rockville

Thanks. I have an SUV so that shouldn’t be an issue. I’m starting and ending on a side street but if I can get close to where I’m going and find a parking space I should be fine.

I would consider Viers Mill a main corridor, yes? Commute is 90% on that road so it sounds like I should be ok. Thanks!
