Screw You Senor Byrd!
Yeah...So fricken happy day in the neighborhood! I got up, went to Spanish, and then came back to discover an e-mail sent to me by happy little Senor Byrd (my Spanish teacher) saying that I have 6 absences in his class (which is BS) and that I have to meet with him in his office ASAP...
SO I hauled ass over there b/c it was like 11:15 and his office hours are over at like 11:30 or so.. SO I ran over there and he was like "Yes...well my records show that you have missed 6 days" and I was like "No disrespect, but that's impossible. I keep a tally in my room and I have 4 showing up." and we argued back in forth for awhile and I said "Well, do you think it's possble that I came in late a few times and you forgot to mark me present?" and he said "Well, it's possible but it's a little late for me to go back and 2nd guess all of those...and even if you did that leaves you with 3 absences and 5 tardies and that's unacceptable" (b/c i had 2 tardies in addition to my absences)...and I told him about my staph infection and he had a note from administration with that one and he still counted it in the mix... His absence policy is: he allows 3 absences then the 4th one you get dropped a whole letter grade, and then after that you don't get credit in the class....well I have a C (barely) in his class right now which I am trying to hold onto so that I didn't have to take the class over...and then he went on to say "the best I could do is maybe drop you a letter grade" and I said "well that's not gonna help me out much either b/c I have a C in your class and that would bring it to a D and then i'd have to take it over again anyway...so basically you're telling me that either way I'm screwed?" and he said "I guess so" and then he said it was up to me whether I show up to his class for the rest of the year or not...So I'm not going to..it's pointless. SO I've enrolled in Spanish 101 for 2nd semester which sucks ass....
Now I'm in danger of losing my scholarship b/c that will put me in the 2.0 something range...and It also only gives me 10 hours this semester instead of 16 hours..and I'm already scheduled for 18 hours next semester (the maximum you can take) and I need 30 hours to keep my scholarship...and yeah...SO I'm screwed either way again..unless I get special permission to take 21 hours from the dean or something... or take a class this summer at Trident (which I planned on doing anyway)- Spanish 102...SO! yeah WHOO! There's my oh so happy news of the day...and my Mom and I got in a SCREAMING fight about it...I don't know if I've ever argued with her so much in my life...she basically told me that I sucked and I wasn't trying and that she wasn't made of money and bitch bitch bitch..b/c, you know, it's my goal in life to make my mom have to fork out an extra $15,000 WHOO! I've almost succeeded...yeah..Well..I'm depressed...I'm tightening up like a mother fucker from here on out..especially 2nd semester...I'm gonna take like 4 bubble baths tonight
