Remember the little bits of things I've told you about grad school this year? No? Well, basically, my last two years have been like this:
But then, when I figured out that I would have enough classes and credits to graduate in December 2011 (back in late winter/early spring of 2011), I realized that I just had to suffer through 2011. To hell with whatever happens in 2011-- I'll be free by the start of 2012!!
So all year, I've been like
I applied for graduation and I've been getting lots of paperwork from UM about when to walk, cap and gown, etc., but then I was looking at my own paperwork and it occurred to me that I might be missing a class.
I emailed the office to see if they could check their records and got the reply that,
I emailed back to ask what the official policies were for transferring between programs-- I had been in one and swapped to another. Technically, I have the magic number of credits needed, but New Program won't accept one of Old Program's classes.
I emailed the office and got back another reply.
"Hope that helps!"
Wait...
What?
What does that have to do with a request for a copy of the policy? What does that have to do with any policy? Timeline for WHAT???
Needless to say, it didn't help.
I looked into an appeal on allowing that one course but no such luck. Why should such luck begin now, anyway? So, fine. All I need to take is an elective. It's not the biggest deal and shouldn't be too terrible, right?
Yesterday was the first day to register for next semester. I popped online, found my class--
Finally!!! Someone ADMITTED that grad school means nothing! They're even ADMITTING that despite this amazing Masters degree, I HAVE NO FUTURE!!!
And the most amazing part??
I HAVE NO FUTURE THROUGH 2099!!!
Here's hoping I can live to 117 so I can have a life.
Although...
I do feel a little better about where I am in life, knowing that it was all an inevitable series of happenings orchestrated by the Ultimately Malicious.
