somebody's going to die...
word to utm: die.
i just got screwed by my university. a month ago, i was eligible to select my courses for second year. alas, they inform me that i had to pick at least one specialist/major before enrolling. fine. so i pick 2 specialist programs. to this day, it's in the progress of being approved.
finally fed up, i decided to do extensive research on a very non-user-friendly university website to see what the deal is. apparently there are 3 types of "specialist/majors".
type 1: automatic approval upon completion of 4.0 credits
type 2: completion of 4.0 credits as well as surpassing a minimum gpa requirement and prerequisite courses. approval required.
type 3: completion of 4.0 credits, surpassing a minimum gpa requirement with prerequisite courses, and special application required.
now i already knew my forensic science specialist was a type 3. but my anthropology specialist was a type 2. this i was NOT aware of. the anthropology major and anthropology specialist show the exact same enrollment information according to the program website. except the major is a type 1.
long story shorter: i applied for the major and was approved instantly. now half my courses have no spaces available. someone down at the registrar's office is laughing at the foreign kid who got screwed over. probably the same bastard who told me through long distance telephone that my type 2 specialist program was to be approved by august 18th at the latest. i hope a bird poops on him.
as for the one responsible for making this sort of important information readily available, an elephant will be along shortly to sit on your face and fart into your throat.
i'm not so much angry at them. i should've taken it upon myself now that i'm an adult. i'm responsible. i'm more angry at myself for being so lazy and trusting them to get their shit straight.
