zOMG real life!
Oct. 15th, 2008 09:15 amIt happens.
So today I got up at 7:30 in the morning to meet with an adviser, simply to have him tell me everything was all right. And ya know... had I but known that's all I would have gotten out of the meeting... I still would have done it. .^^ I feel worlds better now.
See, last time I talked with an adviser (in May, I believe) I was told I was missing a class for my complimentary area, and was given a list of classes I could take to cover that. One of the classes on the list.. was a class I've already taken (one of the very first classes I ever took here, actually .^^ ), so I asked about that, and was told that, yeah, it was just missed before, it does count, my complimentary area is DONE(!).
Then, I had checked our online degree evaluation a while ago to see if I was missing anything, and it had a big, glaring, red-lettered NO(!), I didn't have everything I needed in my primary area. And I was like "Whaaat!?! But-! But, all those Japanese History classes I took! D=" So I asked about that as well, and adviser-san said they would count, it's just that the online evaluation thing is brand spankin' new and doesn't recognize some things yet. So, actually, my primary area is also DONE(!).
So technically I could have applied to graduate this semester, instead of next, but I planned on going one extra semester anyway, so I could take Advanced Japanese, for starters, and also the last course I need to get TESL certified. ::thumbs up:: Of course that will require actually teaching, which scares the crap out of me, but... I'll do it. Fo' sho'.
Main point is, though.. by April of next year, my 10-year college career will finally be finished.
In completely other news, today I bought a bigger coffee than usual from 7-11, just so I could get an Obama cup. XD Not that I won't need the extra coffee, since I got up at 7:30 in the morning just to be told everything is all right. .^_~
