MANDI, JULIO. WTF?
I actually lied about my grades today. I didn't even mean to, but this acquaintance I guess you could say who's been in a lot of my sciences classes since I started at LSU saw me leaving the library and decided to walk with me across the quad. Which is fine. But we were in Organics together last semester and out of nowhere she springs the question of who I'm taking for the next level now. I don't even know what happened. Instead of explaining how I have to retake that class, I just balked and was like uh yeah I don't even remember their name. She looked at me funny but there wasn't really time to continue the convo because she had to go in one building and I had to keep on. Made me feel like crap the rest of the afternoon though.
And then when I'd completely forgotten about that and finally gotten home, I checked my e-mail and I had this threatening letter from the Dean of Basic Sciences. I can't freaking call them now to clarify what I'm supposed to do because it's like 6:00 and I'm sure they're out their offices but basically it was all about my D in chemistry.
I was under the impression that yes, certain classes required by my major do have to be passed with a C or higher or I have to retake them...but I thought I had the freedom to take them again whenever I chose. What the hell is this nonsense?
As quoted by my e-mail:
If a student makes a "D" or "F" in a course requiring a "C", the course must be taken and not dropped the next semester the student is in residence and the course is offered. The college does monitor satisfactory progress.
Are they serious? I couldn't take Organics now even if I wanted to. And if it means what I think it does why would you wait until now to tell me? Jerks.
EDIT: Okay I managed to get into the overloaded scheduler and add an Organics that only had eleven seats left. I didn't drop any of my other classes though because I'm still going to wait and talk to my BASC people tomorrow. If I have to take Organics this semester I'll drop my Physics, if I don't have to then I'll drop the Organics. Done and done. Still mad at their delay in relaying that little tidbit though.
