Another frustrating day.
I spoke with UArts again about transferring, but this time the answers were completely different. I feel like every time I talk to someone, I get different, often contradictory information. It's extremely annoying and confusing.
According to the woman I spoke to today, I need to decide very soon (probably within the next few days) whether I will be going to UArts next semester and continuing through the summer, or starting in the fall. Apparently, I am not able to go to UArts part-time next semester so I could work a little then work full-time through the summer and go back to school in the fall like everyone else. The first admissions person had told me that it would be fine, but that's no longer the case, I guess. I need to take the accelerated semester because of the way they schedule classes. Thanks for the heads-up.
I've also come to realize that the admissions counselor at DCCC knew NOTHING about transferring to UArts. I'm pretty sure she just checked the website for 10 minutes before my appointment with her. I don't think she ever even picked up the phone. So everything she told me, including which classes I should take at DCCC, was wrong. Wonderful, right?
If I choose to start at UArts next semester, I won't be able to get a summer job. This is a HUGE problem. I am in desperate need of money. I'm not sure exactly how they think I will be able to pay for school (or food, for that matter) without a job. There is also a strong possibility that I'll have to quit my current job, which I really don't want to do. It would be so rude of me to quit halfway though the year and leave the Bernards with no one to babysit their daughter while they work. Plus, I really love this job! It's the first job I've actually enjoyed. I don't make a ton of money, but it's more than nothing, which is what I'll make if I have to quit.
This whole process is so irritating. I only missed one semester after leaving Drexel, but it's incredible how far behind I already am. I won't have a degree for a long, long time.... and I hate that. I work so hard and I have nothing to show for it, except a good GPA that won't transfer. Well done, Alexis. Well done.
I just need to chill and give myself time to think, I guess. I'm just so stressed right now. :/
