Academically Inadvisable

A major victory was scored today with help from my writing professor. After meeting with him before spring break, he agreed to help me. I had explained my dilemma which has caused me untold emotional distress; that I will not graduate because of technicalities. Today, I went to speak with him to see if he had gotten a response from one of his friends in the registrar’s office. I was pleased to find out that they had accepted his recommendation and accepted my credit!

This means that there are only two more classes standing in the way of my graduation. One is a speech class, which I should not have any trouble taking care of. I got the name of the chair of the communications department and will be making an appointment this week to meet with him. With all the extra documentation I will bring to the meeting and seeing how this is on of the only things that stand in the way of my graduation I do no think the chair will want to make too big of a fuss. However, one can never tell with administrators. Sometimes they are very easy going and other times are stubborn and tyrannical. I am hoping for the former.

There is still a long way to go before the end of the semester. I have dozens of documents that I have to create, review and edit before my IS project is finished. Also, I was just informed last week that we will also need to prepare a one hour presentation to be given to the professor and the executive staff of our NPO. If this doesn’t count for a speech credit I don’t know what would!

I cannot wait to return to Key West. I hear there will be plenty of work for me to do. And I was pleased to find that I am still remembered. Good friends never really forget! W00t!
