I'm trying really hard not to cry right now.

I've been begging my advisors to help me pinpoint at least a tentative graduation date since - before I actually got on this fucking campus. The constant 'feedback' I get is that they really don't have the time to deal with kind of inconsequential (to them) thing - because I'm a transfer student and so don't fit in with their carefully orchestrated four-year plan, they really can't be bothered - I'm supposed to just figure this shit out on my own.

Thing is - HOW THE FUCK am I supposed to know things like the fact that they only offer Theatre History classes [EDIT - Parts I and II, one per semester, and only one semester a year], once a year, on alternating years?! Do I fucking WORK here? Am I supposed to read their goddamn MINDS?

If I have to stay at UNM until FALL OF FUCKING 200-FUCKING-9 - for ONE FUCKING CLASS -

I am dropping out of fucking school.

FUCK this fucking school.

FUCK THEIR DEGREE.

FUCK.

GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK.

I'm thinking that when I get to upper levels on the current degree, it will be time to move. Then I won't have to deal with UNM. I'm sorry, hun. :(

Can you take theatre history somewhere else and transfer the credit?

I left school one class short of my degree, took the class through correspondence, and graduated as soon as I finished that last class.

Correspondence may or may not work for this, but it's getting a lot easier to do classes online.

I spent two hours this afternoon combing the internets in search of online theatre history classes. The catch is - ther are two that I need - Theatre History I and THeatre History II, duh - and they're upper division classes - 300 level. NOT something currently laying about online. I found one class, that's an upper division theatre history class, online - but it specifies that it's not "non-majors only" - i.e., it's really just a survey course. Barking, tree, wrong. FUCK.

Ummm....Profanity is to be discouraged

EXCEPT WHEN DEALING WITH UNIVERSITY ADVISORS

You are sooooo right on.

May I hate them with you?

I NEVER EVER had any good advice from any advisor, and whenever they DID give me any reasonable-sounding advice, it was always WRONG.

(Nonetheless, we must retain our composure as it is hard to assemble the bomb-kit if your nerves are frazzled.)

I wish you the best in finding a way out or or around this dilemma.

Wow, you're at a school that focuses on fucking?
Man.

byut seriously, folks: that's ridiculous.
Not their attitude, which in my experience is all too comon to all campus avisors, but the alternating years shit..honeslty.

Transfer again.
Tell them you're gonna, first, AND WHY. Maybe, just maybe--though I doiubt it--one of their holinesses will rouse him or herself enough to help you out.

Transfer to - where? There aren't any other schools in New Mexico less than 4 hours driving distance. And going to another state means taking another YEAR off school to qualify for in-state tuition. Which is why I stayed in fucking New Mexico and went to this fuckedup school in the first place.

FUCK.

Well, take your well-justified agonies straight to the admins and file a petition and so forth; at my school, they weren't gonna let me even graduate, ALTHOUGH I HAD MORE THAN THE REQUISITE NUMBER OF UNITS AND HAD BEEN ON THE DEAN'S LIST FOR A SOLID YEAR, because of some piddley two-unit class that I was missing because the one I took, or THOUGHT I took, didn't have the right numerical designation or some such..
no way was I gonna wait ANOTHER YEAR to graduate..
I screamed long and loud and petitioned and

lo and behold

--blam--diploma.

Sometimes, it works.

Especailly if you are, as youi are, a grown up and not some kid.

GOOD LUCK! (rhymes with FUCK!..because I mentally join you in your frustration)
