Screwed over

I am extremely extremely pissed off right now. Excuse me if I go off on a swearing rampage in the middle of this.

So, I go to my Journalism advisor today to double check that I can still graduate next December, a semester early. She looks at my stuff....yep, I'm good to go after 2 more JMC classes and a natural science from the L&S department.

THEN, I told her how my friend is in the same situation as me, 15 credits left, one graduating in December, and gets to register today when I register on May 2nd. We go to the front office to see why this is. As we get my answer (because I have junior academic status, so juniors go last. such bullshit)

THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she says, " I don't see how you can graduate in December, you only have 99 credits and you need 120 to graduate.

So Apparentely, my fucking L&S advisor forgot to mention to me the "graduation requirements." he just told me "you need one more natural science and you'll be done here." So, instead of taking 3 classes next fall, I need to drag it out over the course of 2 fucking semesters. and what do I have to put inbetween those classes you ask?

oh, nothing much, just some bullshit ballroom dancing, pottery making, floral arrangement, fucking body sense classes. bullshit fillers that will satisfy uwm's "graduation requirments."

you know, this would have been nice to know about a LONG fucking time ago. My "advisor" did a very poor job in advising me. I would have taken an extra class this semester, one last winterum....in order to graduate in fall.

and since a JMC class is only open to graduating seniors, I have to wait until spring to take it now, along with some fucking yoga, pilates, or some other shit like that.

what a fucking waste of time and money.

pissed off.


so pissed.
