This past Friday, I broke away from the heart of Central Maryland to attend Towson University's Open House.

 

I would also like to point out that not only do I think I was the oldest person there, I know for a fact that I was one of the few black people in attendence (ok, I only saw three or four others if I can be completely honest.)

 

Towson is on the rise and I am lookig forward to transferring there sometime next year.

 

But as always in my cracked front view, I have to point out a couple of things....

 

1. four minutes into the official program, a cell in the audience goes off.  This must stop.  If you are going to a public function, do all of us the courtesy and shut your phone off or to vibrate.  I went to Handel's Messiah this past Holiday season and during the opening prayer..."brrrrr."  STOP THAT!  Shut your phones off please.

 

2. One Hour and Forty-Eight Minutes in the the official program, someone asked about what the worse part of Towson.  As usual, softball answer comes from the Student Ambassadors.

 

Two minutes later..."The Alkiehol Question"  Much to my surprise Towson was a wet campus.  You would think that UMCP would have screwed the rest of the state.

 

So if you are like me, disgruntled about the DC Area, move up to Baltimore, hon and go to Towson, but do me a favor, wait until atleast 2009.  I want my chances of getting in to be good (not that I'm worried about that ;-) )
