textualdevianceReally pissed off today.
My issues with getting enough credits to be full time for Fall term just got even more screwed up. I found out that I can't get in to one of my required classes this term--I'm three spaces back on the waitlist. So now, instead of finding one credit, I have to find six.
Plus, making me even more pissed off, my psych minor is now fucked. One of the classes I need meets this term at the same time the Front does. So that's out. The other meets at the other end of campus right before the Front meeting. There's no way I could get there in time. My original plan was to take both of them next term. But since the advanced reporting class I've been bumped from this term is only available next term, I have to drop one--there's no way I could handle 17 credits. And, of course, both classes have schedule conflicts in spring. So, unless they let me count a 100-level class toward the minor (which I doubt,) I can't get it.
I looked at every other possible option for filling this term, and keep coming up against brick walls:
*I can take the online journalism class, but it's only three credits. I still need three more, and that would mean finding a very softball class.
*I can't take any choir classes--they conflict with the Front. I also can't get voice lessons because they have a limited number of spots for non majors, and I'd have to audition for one of the choirs just to be considered for a lesson.
*The intro to cinema class I wanted to take meets at the same time my features class meets. One of the classes I'd need if I were doing a theater minor meets on Thursday evenings--the same time as crunch time for Front production for the Friday edition.
*The first class in the content developer certificate sequence I looked at would work. But then I can't get into the other two classes in the sequence the rest of the year, because they conflict with Front/Klipsun. Plus, I need a practicum course at the end--meaning one more term on campus.
*The technical writing class I've been considering is scheduled perfectly. Only I can't take the it because it's restricted to English majors.
*All of the beginning language classes are either at the asscrack of dawn, M-F, or during Front meetings.
*Basic econ classes require math.
*History classes are all MWF, near the Front meeting, and on the other end of campus.
*The poli sci class I was somewhat interested in conflicts with my features class.
Even if I could find another five credit class to replace the one I'm now missing, I'm still stuck with that one missing credit. And so far, all the advice I've gotten boils down to: oh, just take a PE credit.
Excuse me, folks, but do I LOOK like I want to be in a locker room ever again in my life? Do I LOOK like someone who could remotely keep up with ANY PE class full of 19 year olds? I'm already going to be working at the peak of what my body can handle just with the walk from the bus stop to class. I'm not going to survive adding an hour workout on top of that. I'm not physically capable of it. When your body doesn't use glucose correctly, if you demand too much of it, it shuts down. Period. It's like a car that runs out of gas. No fuel, no move. And frankly, I'm not interested in passing out.
It's starting to look like I'm just not going to manage a full-time schedule this term. Normally, I wouldn't care--only one of my previous terms was full time--but I need to be officially full time for that damned scholarship. I'd forego it--I don't really need the money, what with my loans--but it would look bad if I did.
I give up.
