It all started yesterday at the Mid-south harescramble. I wake up at 5:00 in the morning to travel 3 1/2 hours to Nashville. Upon starting the race, my front sprocket decides it wants to lose all its teeth in the middle of the first lap - ending my day. So, I wasted a whole day of driving, when I could have been home working on the umpteen dozen projects I have in school.
Today, I go to class as usual. Everybody else that is graduating this semester is reading this letter that they received stating that they were on schedule for graduation. Well, I was scheduled to graduate, why didn't I get a letter?
I go to the registrar's office to find out what was going on, and they tell me I lack 8 hours to graduate. At this point, I'm pissed - as I have already got a job in the bag, who thinks I graduate in May.
The thing is I sent in my application for graduation 2 semesters prior to graduation, just like they asked me to. When they received it, they realized that I was 8 hours short but said nothing about it to me or my advisor...which is going to cost me another summer in school. I could have been taking those classes this semester.
That's my sob story. And for all you kiddies out there, be sure to check your hours before you plan on graduating.:mad:
Just had to get it off my chest, sorry for the long read.
