School and oh the horror
So last week I looked at my high school transcript. The grade for my American History was a B--in the 2009-2010 school year. It was finalized last summer. Last week, when I looked, it was a 70 in my Connections Academy full transcript (I took the course in Provost Academy). I have no clue who changed it. Was it Provost? Or did Connections make a typo? No idea. So I emailed my homeroom teacher (keep in mind that Connections closes on Friday--I'm a senior, so if this doesn't get straightened out, my GPA suffers for college. I refuse to be put into a sucky college because these people are incompetent) and that was Friday. Still no reply today, Tuesday. What the freaking...?
And I found other problems, too. The transcript page...at the top, it says that the GPA is measured on a scale of 4.0. Uh, my GPA is higher than a 4 on that page. At the bottom it says it's out of a 5.1. Obviously that's the correct number but...what? How can you make a mistake like that? These are professionals. These are full, permanent transcripts. I called the school today and selected the option to talk to the operator so I could go straight to my principal and get this crap straightened out before it's permanent. (A 70? No. Sorry.) And apparently the entire school is on a field day (the Tuesday before it shuts down, what the actual eff?) including the operator until this afternoon. I'm raging. So badly. Let's hope I can keep my cool when I call. I don't want to piss someone off and lose my chance at getting this fixed.
On the other hand, when I was bored earlier I looked up some gameplay for the PC game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It's the middle of the day and sometimes I flinch from the screen--the itty bitty YouTube video screen. Forget it. I'm not going to get the crack. I'd only play at night and it would kill me. I'd be sitting in bed with the laptop making creepy noises and I'd have a heart attack. Fffff--
