My own, not nearly as important rant: I may have made a really bad mistake in my undergrad degree. I thought I was for sure on track to graduate, but now it looks like I've taken one too many transfer/co-enrolled classes, and might be either 1 or 5 "in-residence" credits short of graduating. That means taking two extra classes this term. I don't have time for that on top of my current classes, and I'm so burnt out right now that I really need this term to not be crazy. And I don't know if I can register two weeks late.
And, if I don't either graduate at the end of this term or take a couple extra prerequisites this term, I'll probably get un-accepted from vet school. I was going to double check all this last week (the beginning of term), but my cat passed away and I was upset and disorganized for the rest of the week so I didn't get all that done. I did double check, but I guess I wasn't thinking very well and somehow thought I had more than enough in-residence credits.
Oh, and my school just changed who handles the pre-vet advising. I hope they'll still let me talk to the former advisor (who still handles every pre-medical/dental/whatever program
except pre-vet for some reason) who might be more willing to help me petition something if necessary. I'm going to be so mad if I get un-accepted to vet school not because I'm unqualified for my degree, but because I took the exact same classes from another four-year university. And because I apparently can't add up credits.
