Normally, professional bloggers don’t post personal drama on there sites. But who’s to say I’m a pro?!
Anyways, about a month ago, I received my award letter from SCC. This was to be my last year at SCC before transferring to SFCC. But I get home tonight from shopping and open my mailbox. There’s a letter from SCC that states:
Acording to our records you submitted an Academic Completion Plan in Winter Quarter of 2008 indicating that you only needed 5 more quarters to complete your degree. Therefore, we only approved your financial aid through Spring Quarter 2009. if you were unable to complete your degree within this time frame, you will need to complete another Academic Completion Plan. This Plan must be completed with an academic counselor to explain why you were unable to complete your degree within the time frame you had originally set up.
In short, I obviously overstayed my welcome according to Financial Aid.
The ORIGINAL FUCKING PLAN was to move to Seattle and attend college there and get my degree in Graphics Design. But due to my wife finding her dream job in Spokane, that never happened. So I signed up for classes at SCC for this year thinking I was going to go for my Networking Degree. mid way through vacation, I realized that SFCC had a graphics design degree similar to the one out west. So I decided to get a certificate in networking and stay in student government for this year and transfer over to SFCC in 2010-2011.
Now my options are short. I need to contact SCC and let them know that it was in bad form that they decided to bring this to light now. And that I’m working on finishing a certificate I couldn’t finish due to the software development program and transcripts fucking me (instead of graduating and finishing my network certificate, I had to retake classes for software development).
So my options are now the following:
A: Convince SCC to allow me to finish this certificate and stay in Student Government
B: Convince SFCC to let me in this fall with it being short notice(I just applied today)!!*
C: Take the fall off, find a fucking job FAST, and start SFCC in the winter.*
*Options B and C require me to leave SCC’s Student Government
So with that, I’m now in a fast paced fight for educational survival. I’m going to attempt to handle this and get a resolution over the phone tomorrow. If not, I will have to deal with this next week and miss out on a leadership trip with my Student Government.
Stay tuned to Fugitive Inc. for up to the date information on this, I am calling, “Operation: Bureaucratic Humperdink Bullshit” (insert cheesy over-dramatic music clip here).
