Venting is Good...


Let me start off by venting just a little bit. I normally try not to complain about anything to anyone, but this has just got me worked into a fever. I was doing a little research yesterday, trying to get the AP Board to send official scores to the university so I can get credit for them, but their website has NO links to do so. I emailed them and called four times. I got the voicemail every time, and I left a message every time. Anyways, while I was trudging through their website, I found a link that showed what credits one may receive at Madison for the scores they earned. Come to find out, eight of the credits I’m taking now, I am already going to receive from AP. Eight! That means the this entire semester is a waste. Then on top of that, my academic advisor doesn’t seem to have the time of day for me. It is kind of her job to help out. I emailed her about scheduling a time to meet and discuss setting up a meeting and this is the condescending response that I got back. “If you want to switch to something in L&S, you'll be able to talk to advisors from Cross College Advising at the advising event on the 26th and 29th.  You got one email on this already and will get another soon.  If it's within engineering, you can call the front desk for an appointment.” Really? Really?

I also got my midterm from calc back today. It was four questions graded on a twenty point scale. I got a four. Out of twenty. Apparently I didn’t prove my answers well enough. I got three of the four answers. Just not enough proof… I felt like crying. I still do. That is the worst I’ve ever done on any exam, much less an important one like that. These last two days are just chalking up to be fantastic… Not.

Okay I’m done complaining. Honestly, I am. I mean it. If anyone has any suggestions that might be helpful, let me know.

Peace out.
