Isn't life awesome?
Why do things always go from good to horrible in the course of a day? School started and I was really enjoying it, very pumped about all my profs. and all the material covered in the classes. I tried to ignore how run down and crappy I had been feeling and put my mind to doing the readings and enjoying them. Then, after a very good history class my French professor sees me waiting for the bus and comes up to say hi. Earlier that day we did a survey for the languages department detailing our French experience to make sure we were in the right class. Because of the French immersion I took in high school, normally I wouldn't be able to take the class but since I've been out of school for 6 years the course calendar said they make exceptions, which is awesome so I registered for the class.
Apparently they changed the rule this summer. This is what she tells me, that there was problem with my survey and that I might not be able to get credit for the class. They got rid of the 5 year rule because everyone's level of French is different. and they can't have anyone taking a class that is too easy for them. This of course isn't her fault, she doesn't make the rules and it was great of her to let me know but there isn't anything she can do about it. So, tomorrow I'm headed to the languages department to beg who ever I need to to get credit for the class, I'll even do it in my horrible broken French because I haven't spoken it in 6 years!! It's so frustrating to think I can't take the class that would actually improve my French and allow me to become bilingual again, I have to take the ridiculously hard French grammar class for bilingual students which will inevitably make me tear all my hair out and fail miserably because I have no idea what's going on. awesome.
On top of all that, I find out at work today that because I'm going part time my seniority level as far as being booked with appointments has gone from 3rd from the top to second last. (out of 8) Never mind the year and a half I've put in there or quality work I've done. I am dispensable and entitled to a hug pay cut because I decided to further my education. I'm also sick and still run down and increasingly emotional but i am attempting to deal with all this. Ranting helps, of course and I'm not about to sit around and not do anything about it. I am going to be focused on solutions rather than problems!
So, if you needs haircuts people come see me! I need to pay my rent!
