    I went to church, I bought ‘back to school’ clothes and shoes, I ate lunch, I saw my nephews on Skype, and I’ve been reading, on the Internet, news of the nation and the world while I eagerly await the start of the IndyCar race in Loudon, New Hampshire on ABC television.  I hope to see Oriol Servia, James Hinchcliffe, and Tony Kanaan on the podium after the race.

    Give us money!

    I wanted to register for courses in Florida State University. 

    When I clicked “Next,” a tan dialog showed up, asking for a $10 gift.

    greedy F.S.U. Student Foundation

    When I first act to register for a course, F.S.U. first asks me to give money to a

    “program … which encourages and expands opportunities.“

    And F.S.U. raises tuition 15% this Autumn!

    Give to us more money

    Today, two months after F.S.U.’s alumni association began to telephone me weekly to ask me to give money to F.S.U., I received in the mail a diploma printed by a contractor.

    F.S.U.‘s printing office should print F.S.U. diplomas, and F.S.U. should affix its seal after F.S.U.’s officials sign the diplomas, rather than paying a contractor to make facsimiles of diplomas.

    Incidentally, F.S.U. is so mismanaged that it must charge 15% more for tuition in 2011-2012 academic year!  I’ll bet that at the end of the next academic year, it won’t print diplomas on parchment then sign them and seal them.
