Woot, My schedule is fixed

I decided that since I wasn’t working, might tell that story someday, that I wanted to get 4 classes at ITT Tech this quarter. Went and talked to my representative ( counselor, whatever you want to call him ) and asked what I needed to do. He said to just talk to my Program Chairman, didn’t seem too hard to do, right? Just explain that I wasn’t working and ask for a fourth class. Wish it had been that simple.

I went and talked to him, after talking to the dean, who had said that my 3.17 for last quarter / 3.00 cumulative was good enough…guess what, I can’t get a fourth class unless I have a 4.0. He did mention that if the Dean thought I could handle four classes then the Dean could call him to approve it. First words that almost came out of my mouth were “Fuck that bullshit.”, instead I thanked him and left his office quietly. Next thing I did was walked back to the deans office. His reaction was about the same as mine, so he called up my program chair and said to give me the class I wanted and that if my GPA dropped below a 2.75 I would not be allowed to take four again. Feel like I went over his head to get what I wanted, but oh well. I will pass.

Of all the classes I could have gotten, they decided to put me in Composition I. Oh well, English isn’t so bad and I rather like writing usually. Really hoping that the teacher doesn’t hold anything against me, had her my first two quarters ( semesters ) for my ‘Strategies for the Technical Professional’ class…which I failed once and got a D+ in the second time. She said she was looking forward to not seeing me this quarter. She’s in for a big surprise Tuesday morning.

My revised course schedule:

Monday (8 am – 11:24 am) College Mathematics II
Tuesday (8 am – 11:24 am) Composition I
Tuesday (6 am – 10:20 pm) Microsoft Desktop Operating Systems
Thursday (8 am – 12:20 pm) Structured Cabling

Still can’t come home Tuesdays, talk about time to waste.
