Graduation blah!!!
September 2nd, 2008I want to cry!!! I have to complete one more quarter for graduation and I need to be working full-time like yesterday. The schedule they gave me was changed and the set-up is hindering my full-time needs. So I think, “I’m a graduating senior, they’ll work with me…” So I’m trying to research other people that have been in this position and help out the new adviser that hasn’t been her too long. He flat out tells me that he doesn’t care what they did in the past, that even if I file an appeal it might not work out, that he doesn’t care what the previous adviser says cause all that matters in what happens now. Since the school is accredited now things like independent studies might not be an option. He was upset too so that made me feel more like crap, because all I wanted to know is who was going to be teaching the class to begin with. He said that I have to talk to the teacher and if the teacher doesn’t want to do an independent study then basically I’m screwed.
I’ve been a good student all this time. I’ve worked hard and stayed on the Dean’s list just about every quarter. I can’t believe that people that slack more at this school have more consideration for assistance then I do. It’s upsetting that the advisor wants to be so hands off and that he’s getting upset with me when I just need a little reassurance. The words, “We’ll do all we can to help you graduate”, isn’t really part of this guys vocabulary.
