guys i need some lol college advice

ps - I am in grad school and not insane thankyouverymuch. ;-)

Hoos, you go to TSU, right? Any clue how strict their transfer admissions are?

congratz max :)

Pushing my graduation back two semesters will be worth it if it means I get to go to Wellington (from rural Minnesota) for a year, right?

wellington, new zealand???

yep

that's where i live!

well, for 2.5 more months. what are you going to be doing here?

Going to a different lol college. It'll push back my grad date 'cause I don't really need the credits badly; I just want to get as far away from here as I possibly can, and the study abroad thing seems like a convenient way to travel FAR. My girlfriend and two good pals are coming with, though they're all a bit unsure of what they'll be doing there (ha any recommendations?). We won't be there until January.

What do you do in Wellington? Do you like it?

oh wellington is awesome! webmail off-board if you want to ask about anything.

*webmail ME off-board

wow, how did i miss the update? belated yaaaaaaaay max!

also, ENBB, i think you are in graduate school for something proper and useful, not lol english lit, so i totally believe that you are not insane.

Hahaha. We'll see how useful it turns out to be. I did english lit/creative undergrad so maybe I'm 1/2 insane. ;-)

thanks horseshoe. i graduate tomorrow!

CONGRATULATIONS, MAX!!!

yaaay max!
and congratulations on sticking with the thesis + comps option! :D

guys i just got a letter from college that apparently oops they fucked up and I NEED ONE MORE CLASS TO GRADUATE

fuck knows how half a dozen advising sessions and three degree audits official and otherwise could have missed this

but i kinda feel like this whole insane semester, which was structured as it was for the sake of getting me completely done by june (and thus getting $10,000 in loans forgiven), was completely for naught now.

Aw Hoos want me to go clothesline some Texans for ya?

damn hoos that is nightmare territory

but i kinda feel like this whole insane semester, which was structured as it was for the sake of getting me completely done by june (and thus getting $10,000 in loans forgiven), was completely for naught now.

Can you tell this sentence to someone with any measure of power? I feel like if it was my decision, and I knew you had repeatedly visited advisors who didn't catch the "mistake", along with the degree audits, I'd use my executive powers to help you out. Then again, this is probably why I will never achieve any position of influence...

oh man, hoos :( so sorry!!!

hoos, that sucks so bad dude :( surely someone will be sympathetic to your case...

because of my own fuckup in planning my degree, i was 2 points short at the end of my last semester (360pts for a degree) but there was no fucking way i was doing another semester so i wrote to the associate dean of my faculty and told him all the reasons i should get an exemption and he granted it within a couple of hours. but my situation was pretty minor. hopefully something similar will happen for you!

Can you tell this sentence to someone with any measure of power?

I'm calling my Dean in the morning.

thx for the sympathies, guys.
