It's not fair!!!! But it is getting better :)

oh no, who steared you wrong?

the same academic advisor that gave me such a hassle about the letters of permission earlier this year ....I am going to go in and see her and get a copy of the form she filled out - but I'm pretty sure that that will be the one that's wrong (based on past experience) :(

perhaps a voodoo doll of said academic advisor? ? ?

ah well keep your sense of humor.

Man, that really bites!

I've been offered a full load re: teaching in the winter semester so I had planned to front load fall and take less then ...would have only had to go to school (as a student) 1 day a week for Winter :(

Sorry :(

But just think how smart you're gonna be! ;-)

I go back in September for my bachelors degree...poor flit, I am in the same boat. Life isnt fair sometimes...we can have a pity pouting party. You me, Labellota and whoever else goes through all this self inflicted pain of trying to make a better life for ourselves. Have a better day honey!

but just think how published I'm never going to be at this rate :(

One of those rotten life's lesson. I'm so sorry this happened Flit.

Well, that sucks! I'm sorry. :(

Seems like I've heard this a hundred times before. The colleges really ought to not do this to people. THey had my daughter jumping through hoops. It makes life tough. You can manage though. Keep your chin up. We'll take turns propping it up for you.

Oh man....Good luck!

Too bad, but you'll work it out somehow, right? (I like the voodoo doll idea!)

I feel you! I have quite a few credits I don't need because my adviser(ex lol) told me to take crap I didn't need. My new adviser seems to know her head from a hole in the ground, but I still don't listen to them. I take what I want, I look at my degree audit and the courses offered and compare them to required courses for my chosen masters program. It's a lot more work, but I don't trust them anymore lol

Oh flit... Just think of it as "building character".. :-) I know... How much darned character do we need..? ;-)
I know it's disappointing but try not to allow it to stress you out.

What a Big PAIN!!! As if you haven't been working hard enough! SHEESH!

I don't trust them much either. Sorry that you got stuck, but a little extra learning, now that it is done, is a good thing:)

things will start looking up.

OKay....I am liking this new Academic Advisor guy :)

he's fixed one of them and is working on jamming the science into an elective spot as well

Also gave me a straight answer re: the question I have been pestering everyone with all summer... of course, now I've signed up for a course that he tells me I should NOT take, but I'm sure that can be fixed

Disappointments like that are very discouraging. Hang in there!

comment...there i made a comment..lol

sorry Flit but you still have a lot of good things to look forward to and your health you still have your health, LOL thats all the encouraging stuff I can think of to say. LOL good luck!!!

do not, Denise! LOL but working on that too :)

character building experience? I wouldn't be too happy if I took classes that I didn't like and didn't go towards anything....oh wait...I have some of those too....lol

It's not so much that I didn't like the courses... but at $500+ per course .....ACK! Who's got that kind of money to throw away? Not me!

I am impressed with him though... he is on vacation this week...and has emailed me three times..... and also gone to bat for me with the Dean etc.... every email says he'll be away until Monday - but he has already resolved some of the issues.... and started the ball rolling on t'others...and given me a straight answer and said that I can come up to meet with him any day that's convenient next week and...

I think I might love this guy! LOL

hey flit, perhaps the world is looking up and.... pigs fly? at least he's making an effort so that's good.

Hope you get it straighten out. That's dumb luck I think.

good for you, get plenty of sleep before your 5 hour drive. that thanks.

At least you only wasted 500

At my school, 6 credit hours would cost about 2000

Good attitude Flit..."Suck it Up"...though it really is the pits I agree. Maybe all of us on Gather can write your papers for ya'...but then again, I think you want to pass.

it's actually $500/course... or thereabouts... but they've fixed one at least... still hoping the other gets sorted too

Reverend Bec predicts: You will, somewhere down the line, find out that you currently think of as "6 too many science credits so I wasted $500 and a whole lot of time in Environmental Science" will unfold into something so surprising and so good -- you will be saying, "ya know, if I HADN'T spent that time and money in Environmental Sciences, I...." and what follows "...." will be nothing you can possibly predict now, but will be quite amazing when it unfolds in your life path.

Be of good cheer -- it all works together for good whether we can see it at the time or not. & Trust me, I know exactly whereof I speak, and I'll give you a perfect example, from my own life.

"Ya know, if my house hadn't exploded and burned completely down, I would not be an internationally published, award-winning poet & book author today!" & that is God's honest truth.

So, be of good cheer, lighten up on yourself, and be curious about where life is taking you -- it really knows what it is doing, trust it, 'kay?

PS: our opinion doesn't count - if it's raining, whether we like it or not makes no difference at all, except to our own peace of mind.

Peace!

Hey Flit, there is no such thing as too much education. But don't stress yourself.

What a shame. I know you must be frustrated.

I'm was glad to see your comments as I worked my way down here. It seems that this cloud too, may have a silver lining.

Chin up, flit. It may yet work out 100% in your favour. I'm sure you wouldn't have taken those courses if someone hadn't indicated it was the right thing to do.
