LAS Can Kiss My Pasty White German Ass!

Soooooo, what do I have to talk about today? Nothing except the rapage I received from the college of LAS here at U of I. I went in on Friday to make sure all my chickens were lined up for graduation at the end of the Fall semester this year. I was king of the world because I knew straight up what I needed. You see, I've been paying close attention to what I needed in order to graduate since Junior year and I have been looking at grad schools since Sophomore year (I requested graduate information from University of Michigan the first semester of my Sophomore year). I knew I needed to transfer my Calc. III class from I.C.C. and finish my online polysci course in addition to my regular coursework. Welllllllllll, LAS decided to drop me a bomb that was bigger than the biggest H-bomb ever.

Last semester I had asked an advisor in the LAS office that if I re-took a class in calc over the summer and transfered it here if my residency would be hurt. We looked over the residency requirement of no more than 15 of my last 60 hours could be from a 2 year college. This would put me at exactly 15 so I said, good. I was told this would not interfere with my residency by someone who had my information pulled up on screen. They knew I was a double degree, that I intended to graduate in Fall, and this was not the first time I had talked to this advisor. So I saunter in on Friday and an advisor I had not seen before said I couldn't graduate at the end of Fall because my residency wasn't compete if I transfered the class AND I needed yet another social science class or language and arts class.......excuse me?! She then pulls out the contract I had signed THREE YEARS AGO that had the stipulations of the double degree on it and I then remember back to when I was young and naive and asked for a copy of the contract. The dean said no in such a flat manner that I got the impression she was mad at me for asking such a thing. Now I know why I should have gone to student legal services THEN when they refused to give me a copy of a signed legal document.....silly me. Now they decide to point this out which effectivley makes the advisor I talked to last year a F*CKING LIAR at worst and incompetant at least. As for the extra class for my gen. eds, I have always been a step ahead of that game. The requirements were changed my sophomore year, so I am held to the rules of incoming students to the college my freshman year, which was that rather than hours for the different collumns (one more artsy the other more sciencey) we had to take 1 or 2 classes. The only exception to this was social science. When I was a freshman we needed 6 hours of social or behavioral science. My sophomore year this was changed to two courses in social science and one in behavioral science. This new requirement was on the DARS audit for my integrative biolgoy major meaning the computer and the dumb female dog I talked to couldn't put two and two together for an obvious thing.....but yet another issue was that on my permanent folder in pencil was the NEW REQUIREMENTS WHICH WERE UNFULFILLED! If the dean doesn't respond to my email or if she completely treats me like garbage, I'm half tempted to go up to her face and say "hey, how are you....why don't you go f*ck yourself you stupid greedy whore." I know, that isn't a Christian thing to do.....but this is friggin highway robbery. Every time I asked for something in writing I was told that the advisors don't do that.....well now I understand why. Now it's my word against theirs and I'm a stupid kid. So here's to probably taking twelve hours of nothing class-wise next semester and not getting funds for grad school. Here's to yet another let down by U of I and the bureacracy squad.

So, just to get it off my chest now and limit my anger.........................................................................................................................................wait for it........................................................................................"EAT ME LAS! >:-0"
