Grad School for Dummies

Sep 16, 2009 09:57

I am taking a Harvard Extension School grad class (omg, I am like, so SMAHHHHT) and so far it is a fucking nightmare. Normally online classes are enough to rip one's hair out but to top this all off I signed up late and i signed up 5 days before the first assignment was due. Which is fine. The first assignment was easy. I emailed the TA to get the deets since i didn't have access to the assignments portion of the website (my password shit was still in transit in the mail)and she was kind enough to email them to me. I was able to complete the assignment (and some of the reading! i am sooooo studious! all while maintaining my normal social life! i am back in college, bitches!) and I passed it in yesterday. Well, finally passed it in after a whole day of weird email issues and internet shit. Frustrating but nothing major.

Well today I was finally able to log into the assignment portion of the website and to my surprise, while my TA did tell me what the assignment was, she neglected to inform me about about a page of details that accompany the assignment. This makes me pissy because now not only will I be passing in the assignment late (which makes me look like a moron), it was done totally incorrectly because of her inability to describe things accurately (again, making me look like a total moron.) There was several sentences on how to pass things in properly which is a question THAT I ASKED HER SPECIFICALLY (which I didn't do correctly, obvs.) I hate being made to look like an idiot, especially since I took so much initiative to get the work done and since it would have been SO SO easy for her to just cut and paste what was on the website and mail it to me.

I'm going to take my BA and go hide in a hole now. Clearly grad school is much too hard for me.
