TT F-U

Well, let's hear it for TTU! Yea for the Arts and Sciences advising offices! Yea for Student Business Services! On Wednesday, as I RANDOMLY (key word here is RANDOMLY) went in to see my advisor and ask her a simple question, she cheerfully informed me that they had "Changed your graduation date to May! Isn't that great?", to which I replied "#%*$*@&??!!??!?". It took an hour of going over my transcript and every other relevant piece of information from birth until now to convice her that I was, in fact, enrolled in the correct amount of classes in order to graduate THIS DECEMBER. OF 2003. NOT MAY. Nice of them to inform me of this change, anyhow.

Thursday (yes, today), Texas Tech's esteemed Student Business Services sent me a lovely email stating that I had been effectively dropped from all of my classes due to lack of payment. To which, again, I replied with a resounding "#%*$*@&??!!??!?". After a long telephone conversation and a trip to the SBS office, we (collectively) discovered that not only had I paid all my tuition in full well before the semester had even begun, but also that Tech had overcharged me for some library fee and they actually owed me $57.23. So, I got dropped from all my classes because Tech owed me money. What a system they've got going here!

And, as some sort of twisted final consolation, as I was leaving the SBS office to go over to the registrar and get reinstated into my classes, the lady called after me "Hey, don't worry about it, this same thing happened to some of the people in the Architecture major as well!". OH! Well! Why didn't you say so before?? Now that I know architecture majors have to deal with this ridiculous hassle as well, I feel much better about the whole thing. In fact, let's make a habit of dropping random students out of all their classes for no apparent reason. Let's make it a bi-monthly thing. Argh....
