(no subject)
This is just a quick interruption from my studying to post something worth mentioning!
A lot has happened since that terrible mishap with my academic advisor at the beginning of the semester. (You know, the one who forgot to tell me about a class I needed in order to graduate!) Last week, I went to the dean's office to talk to a REAL advisor about my options for graduating in the summer. After spending a lot of time reviewing my degree audit, it turns out that the crazy advisor, Debbie, told me to register for a class that A. had nothing to do with my major B. accounted for no credit whatsoever C. resulted in many an hour spent studying for a midterm on the complex neuroanatomical structure of the human brain (which I somehow made an A on. Go figure.)
After showing my botched degree audit to a couple of her superiors, the advisor in the Dean's office, Megan, told me to drop that course and she also gave me an extension on that bogus correspondance course I have to take, which reduced my anxiety level just a bit. Oh, and also, she told me that if I can finish the course by the end of April, I can graduate in the spring! Whoohoo!
I guess that after two pretty huge errors for the same graduate-pending student, Debbie was called to the Dean's office that same day I had paid a visit and was yelled at! I know this because she sent me an incredibly apologetic email that afternoon stating that she was called to speak with the Dean and felt "terrible" about all of the mistakes she had made with me and that she would take it all back if she could.
That email pretty much made me want to throw my computer out the window in anger...but THIS ONE DIDN'T!
::Received this mass email from Debbie 15 minutes ago while studying the protein-energy malnutritional disease "Kwashiorkor"::
"Dear Students,
The Dean's office has decided to replace me with another advisor,
Brad Humphries. This is effective immediately. I just wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed working with you over the years. I always thought I was the luckiest person in the world to have this job and work with such great students. I will miss you all. But before I sign off, I feel the need to send one final "Information From English Advising" email.
This is the last one!
Debbie Rosschild"
Crazy! I don't want to blame her termination solely on my circumstance, but I bet it has a lot to do with it.
Alright, before livejournal distracts me any further...back to studying for this blasted international nutrition midterm.
