Once again, life throws me a curve ball.....
So, as most of you know, I was put on accademic probation last semester because my grades weren't high enough. What this meant was that I had 3 months to pull my AGPA up to a 2.0 so I could stay in school, and as most of you have heard, I didn't manage to do that. I looked at my alternatives, and figuring it was only going to be a matter of time, I asked to be promoted to and ASM position with EB. This was good for me. I was making money, and had, basically full time work.
One of the things I was told during a conversation with the Student Advisor for the BA program was that I would be sent a letter from the college asking me to withdraw. This letter never arrived, and so, yesterday, the first day back after the winter break, I called and asked aout it. I was informed that there was something that needed to be cleared up at the registrars office, and that she would call me back as soon as she knew anything. I missed her call later in the day, but called her bright and early this morning.
To find out that I didn't need to withdraw from classes.
Because I'm taking a full year class, they weren't going to be avaluating my AGPA until that class ended in APRIL!!!! Not in December, like I was led to believe. This discovery lead to my being very upset and not knowing what to do. If I satyed with EB as the ASM< I would not be able to reapply for 1 full year, and then it would be for the following Sept. which would mean I'd be out of school for at least 20 months. Not a feasible idea in my head. To long away from it makes it harder for me to go back. I have a hard enough time with it as it is.
Anyway, I talked to a few people about it, and got opinions about what I should do. Then Raz and I had to talk. It took about 10 mintues for us to make the decision. Sadly, he "caed" when I started crying and telling him that sc hool was what I wanted to do.
So, Here I go again, 2 days into the semester, to try and pull up my AGPA. I'm going to need help from those who have been successful at school to help me figure out how to study effectively, and to learn the material. I'll be making use of the student resource center on campus to help me as well. I need this to work, as this is my last chance!
Who's with me?
