SO LONG ARISTOTLE AND PLATO, YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED!
Alright, so the conclusion to the epic tale of the art history class!
I had to take an art history elective and it turned out to be very philosophical. Not only is my interest for it 0, but the teacher was not very motivating, I couldn't grasp the material and the class was early in the morning. I was very scared that I wouldn't even get a decent grade in this class.
Two weeks ago, after talking with a friend, I set out to find out whether or not a communications film production class I took 4 years ago, when I was in Coms could count as a studio elective, which could replaced this art history elective. After much back in forth, including having to write a letter to the school two weeks ago, for which they would send me an answer through the mail, I went to see the dude in charge of my program today and he called up Students Affairs. Because on top of that, the last day to drop a class without penalty is this Sunday.
The first woman had the letter and after photocopying it, gave it to me. The letter had been written October 15th, just never mailed out. But on the letter it said "substitution not required". Confused, I asked her what it meant and she told me that I didn't need this class. When I then explained why I wanted the class, she looked at me and said "well that's not what you wrote. We can't read your mind." I was a little heartbroken, but she then went to see if the other lady in charge was there so I could explain to her.
She was on the phone, but I was told to sit and wait. She finally came out 5 minutes later and sat next to me. I explained the situation to her and she looked at me with an air of "wow, you're really dumb" and told me that she read my letter 4 times and couldn't understand what I was asking them. I fail. Sorry.
But the lady then told me to make a change on the form and that she would look it over again. I asked her nicely if it would be done by the end of the week, since the last drop date is Sunday and then she told me "yeah, just drop it." I asked to make sure and PRAISE THE MIGHTY RHUBARBS, I CAN DROP THAT CLASS. THANK YOU. I thanked her 10 times, thanked the other lady, thanked the head of my department and boy am I ever so relieved!
