My grandfather died.
Also, it looks like I didn't graduate. I was trying to verify that the people in the registrar office sent the forms to end my student health insurance plan like I told them to/they said they would, and I happened to find out that I didn't graduate due to a technicality. Biology classes are supposed to be cross-registered with the college they say they're in, and my college. I took a 3-credit Biomedical Engineering class last semester called Science and Technology in Human Health. It didn't even occur to me that this might solely be considered an engineering class, especially considering the huge amount of advertising from the biology department, but apparently it is. So I have too many credits in other colleges at Cornell and I'm 3 credits short in my own... Somebody wake me up. I must be having a nightmare.
This all means that I'm going to lose my job, since my job offer was "contingent upon my graduation." I'm going to go to the registrar tomorrow and see what I need to do, but I expect their attitude will be "tough luck" like it always has been with any problems I've had in the past. How is it that my advisor AND the registrar didn't catch this when I turned in my application to graduate? Especially the registrar, because that's all computerized. Furthermore, how is it that nobody even informed me that there was a problem?
