oh for FUCK'S SAKE, i should have known everything was going too smoothly. monday morning i get to make ANOTHER delightful call to the advising office demanding to know WHAT THEY ARE THINKING in informing me i haven't satisfied graduation requirements in my minor, despite my having met twice with the minor advisor and having signed paperwork from her and also having been approved by my major advisor upon receipt of that paperwork. i met with the minor advisor before this semester even started, and again six weeks later, and at no point did she tell me ANYTHING was missing, so i feel totally comfortable in threatening legal action at this juncture if they don't stop this shit immediately. not that i'm going to start with that, but it will certainly be in reserve. (especially since the english department advisors also have a history of NOT DOING THEIR JOBS despite repeated prodding over the course of a YEAR. also they have 2 english major advisors, and treat them interchangeably--i recently made an appointment with the first and got sent to the second with no explanation--but i'm pretty sure neither of them TALK to each other.)
god i am just SO FURIOUS right now. what is the goddamn point of having advisors and forcing students to meet with them if they are incapable of ADVISING or FILING PAPERWORK or READING MY FILE which, by the way, is not available to me because the transfer credit report or degree progress report you can request from the online student center is always out of date and pretty much never updated, like at this point i am fairly sure the program doesn't even attempt to fetch new data--why would anyone need to see an accurate copy of their degree progress report? they could just make an appointment with their advisor!--so i always just have to take it on faith that, say, the petitions for credit i handed in have actually been filed. (naturally, they hadn't. that was an entirely separate mess from this, i'm pretty sure, just another exciting adventure.)
off to make a detailed file listing every advising meeting i've had this semester and the dates and contents thereof. which file i will then print out, tape to a rock, and use to bash all three of these people's skulls in. in 36 hours, until which time i can do nothing.
ON WHICH NOTE, god, I could really use some highly emotional porn about any of the non-Nixon people who were on my screen this afternoon. It would make me feel so much less murderous and tense. Pick up the pace, fandom! It's been hours!
