I HATE GOING TO A PUBLIC SCHOOOOOLL!!!!! -_-''
This is my first real quarter without having priority enrollment for classes at UCLA. I understand why there are budget cuts, and I understand why tuition is rising, but this is where I'm going to be selfish. I WANT TO GET INTO MY FREAKING CLASSES!!!!! O_O OKAY?!?!
Basically, choosing classes for next quarter aren't going well at ALL! I was supposed to be taking biology, biochemistry and physics. HOWEVER, because of the budget cuts, the class sizes have shrunk. For example, there are 600+ people enrolled in life science 2 right now and the next class after is life science 3. BUT, the school decided to offer only 500 spaces. The classes filled up even before I could even get to sign up. They were filled up DAYS before I could sign up.
Okay, I admit, I am part of the blame. It's my fault that I didn't apply for honors when I could have. It's my fault for being too lazy to write an essay and going to a workshop. With honors, I could have signed up a week earlier. These honor kids get to sign up earlier than us regular kids by a week. On top of that, when we get to choose classes, us regular kids, they still get to choose at least 24 hours in advance again. So they get to choose TWICE before I even get to TOUCH it! -_-''
And then there's the OTHER group of people who are enrolled in AAP. This program is for people who didn't perform as well in high school or are economically needy. As in, the school believed that you'd need extra help in the classes at UCLA. These people get the priority enrollment like the honors students, AND they get tutoring for nearly every class where us regular kids cannot attend. To get into this program, the school will automatically place you in if you qualify. However, if you don't, as in your grades in high school were good and you're not economically challenged, then you won't ever qualify. As in, you can apply, and they'll reject you. I asked the supervisor of the program.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS. Basically, they're helping the upper and the bottom tier of the students at UCLA. What about the middle kids huh? THE REGULAR STUDENTS.
So, there's still time to get into my classes, as in, we have until second week of Jan to move our schedules around. Now, all I can do it cross my fingers that somebody will drop either of my classes. If I don't take life science 3, I can't take biochem 153A since it has to be at least concurrent enrollment. That would greatly set me back on my plann schedule, pushing me back to take my harder courses after I come back from Japan, if I even GO now. ROARRRRR.
Stupid public school. I really shouldn't be blabbing since there are people who probably can't even get into a college (Cal-States are decreasing acceptances with X%). But this is where I'm selfish and I just want to get into my classes!!!!!! *sigh*
