WTF ed. dept.?!!!!!!!
Fuck all this.
I got back from spring break today and went in to talk to my advisor- I just needed him to sign a routine form, certifying my major. We got to talking and THAT'S when he realized I haven't taken enough classes for my major. Apparently there was some mix-up about student-teaching being enough to fulfill some requirement... I am so pissed. I went through the requirements so many times, and I thought I knew what I was doing. Moreover, it's his JOB to get this shit right, yet he screwed it up, telling me I was fine last semester. Now all of a sudden it's 7 weeks until graduation and he realizes he's WRONG?!?! I don't know what I'm going to do, except that I can't graduate with this major, and it's not like I have another one just lined up.
My advisor was saying I can just take one class in the fall and then graduate, but that pisses me off so bad. Money-wise, the university might absorb the cost, since they have this four-year guarantee thing where if it's not your fault that you didn't graduate within four years, the fifth year is basically free. So that's good, as long as I can get that. But I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK. I thought I was DONE, dammit. Now what the hell am I going to do, job-wise? I wanted to get on Obama's campaign- guess I'll have to quit come August, if I get that job. And I was hoping to get an apartment with Kathryn this fall... I'm going to feel really bad if we have to change our plans b/c of me.
I just can't believe this is happening, but after reading all the info he had, I guess he's right. Maybe I can petition the university to let me graduate anyway- it's not like I haven't done tons of work in the education area. I don't know. This is messing up everything. I am so pissed right now.
