Tuition Stinks

I'm not gunna lie, money is a little bit tight right now.  That is why I am going to take this chance to vent about UVU's tuition price increase (what else are blogs for, right? ha).  The price for tuition last year/semester was $2,144 and now this semester it is $2,292.  Now I know that the difference of $148 isn't that much, but when you add that to rent, car problems, health insurance, a seatbelt ticket I got in Oregon (don't ask), food budget, etc, it all adds up to equal stress.  Luckily I am poor enough that Financial Aid covers a big chunk of my tuition, but the real tragedy here is that I am paying to take a 12 credit class where all I do is teach school in the public setting.  In fact, I was hired on by Vista Heights Middle School as a regular teacher, but I have to do this little thing where my school has to approve of how I teach to give me a teaching certificate.  So basically I am paying $2,292 for a professor from UVU to come observe me teach a total of 3 times out of the entire semester.  Awesome.  I'm glad that tuition increased because I know that it is money well worth it (note that this last sentence is dripping with sarcasm).  Venting done.
