Punching someone in the face is not the answer to this.
I was once again filled with the desire to stab someone who works at my school today.
My loan is set up for me to take four classes a quarter, but I was only signed up for three classes, so I went to Student Services to have them put me in another class. I asked them to put me in Italian, but the guy there told me that I can't take electives because I'm in the Associates program and the electives are only for people in the Bachelor program. Even though when I first registered for the school, I was told that I could take such-and-such electives.
So the guy went through my degree requirements to see which classes I need to take. I'm close enough to graduating that there are only a handful of classes I still need, and it turned out that all of them were either full, contradicted with the other classes I was already signed up for, or weren't being offered this quarter. So I was basically told "too bad for you, you're stuck with a hole in your schedule."
So then I went to the head of the Fashion department to see if she could do anything about this. After sitting there and going through my whole degree audit, it became apparent that I can graduate in the Spring, provided they're actually offering all the classes I need next quarter.
I ended up getting put in Advanced Fashion Illustration, which is also a class just for BA students, but it's going to be substituted for the Internship credit required for graduation. Combined with my other classes, this means that I'm taking two drawing classes and another one that will involve a lot of drawing.
TL;DR: After Yaoi-Con, I'm probably going to focus on making more Steampunk Hetalia costumes, since they're original designs and I can therefore use them for my portfolio since I'm (hopefully) about six months from graduating.
