just my luck
soo since ive started working at murray manor i have gotten sick many times. two weeks ago was the most sick ive been. coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, body aches..you name it, i had it. when being sick the last thing on your mind is to attend an 8am class only to disrupt the lecture by coughing and leaving every 5 minutes to blow your nose. i mean you wouldnt benefit, soo why bother? well last monday my psych professor did not say my name in attendence [btw..g-mont takes attendence kiddies]. after the class i went up and discussed my reasons for not attending class, even saying i e-mailed him to notify him of my absences, and how i should not be dropped if i acted upon his requests of some type of notification for not being present in class. he replied by telling me i have an exam on wednesday and how i should prepare. wouldn't this mean that i was in the clear? soo i prepare. i practically memorized my study guide, got notes from a friend who attended the classes i did not, and took the exam. this monday i got back the results at the end of class. i got a b, along with a note from my teacher saying "you have been dropped." first of all, i am attending a jc, despite my efforts to go straight for a 4-year by busting my ass in high school, in a sense wasting my time by not getting into my top choices. after high school it should be my choice whether or not i attend class, it is on my own merrit that i am going, why should some teacher get butt hurt if i do not show? secondly, i e-mailed him b/c i was sick. when i discussed this matter with him i was still sick. i am still sick. there was no lie, i am sick. thirdly, you are a professor at grossmont fucking college. not harvard. not yale. stanford? NOPE. you should not act as if you were such a significant person. youre a psych teacher, big whoop. on top of all this i figure out b/c of this drop i am now only taking 6 units. soo more than likely i will be attending the winter sesh, enduring 4-hr long classes only to make up lost time and to get out sooner than everyone else b/c jc's are a joke. if youre in high school and youre reading this, do not save your parents money. go straight to a 4-yr. you will save them from listening to you bitch and moan about how annoying it is, and how youre soo much brighter. you are. 4-yr colleges have dorms, sororities, frats, parties, sports [g-mont does not count], ohh yeah and you will be away from your parents [if your smart]. i see no downers about attending a 4-yr. i mean damnit, some hole in the wall state school like north ridge isnt sounding too shabby right about now. but whatev...i am still planning on ucsb if not next fall then next spring. you can guaruntee me graduating as a gaucho in the yr 2009. ive bitched enough. fuck grossmont college.
