I need to get this off my heart before I continue working on my thesis.
I'm so upset right now I feel like crying.
Today had begun so nice. We had a work meeting that went really smoothly, my professor is going to renew my contract and I'll continue working for him, even when I go to Poland next year, which is soooo great. I'll be able to save up a lot of money that way. Plus I we got a Christmas bonus this month, which means about 170€ more pay than usually.
I also managed to find out about a course that had been missing from my transcript of records and that I was scared I hadn't passes (which is why I had been putting off asking about it). Turned out I passed and he's going to add that to my transcript. So I'll be able to apply for the MA programme in the next weeks.
When I got home I decided to check whether the course had already been added to the adminstration software. It hadn't but instead I found messages from the secretary of my department that we're supposed to attend a class on Mondays 4-6pm. Apparently we have to attend at least 6 times in order to graduate. Coincidentally there's only six weeks left til the end of the semester. Why are they telling us about that NOW? When half the semester is already over?!
AAnd there was also a message that we're having project presentations next Friday. Oh yay. My boyfriend's going to be here. Presenting my thesis in class is really how I wanted to spend that visit. Thanks for letting us know almost a whole week in advance. Now that's generous.
I'm so so sick of the organisation in my department. They changed the due date for the theses about three times, basically completely destroying the plans I had made for Christmas and January and now that.
I want to cry. There's nothing, absolutely nothing I can do about this. I've gotten so far and I'm almost through with it and then they drop another bomb on us.
If I hadn't been sure before, this would have sealed the deal. I'm not going for my MA there. I'm getting my Master's in my minor (making it my major/only subject) and I hope I'll never have to deal with them again.

HOW ANNOYING!!!
I hate stuff like that. My college was downright incompetent. All my classes would get dropped suddenly, I would have to fax in my financial aid at least 3 times a semester before they "get it", anytime you try to get anything done you get sent to 3 different buildings... just a constant pain in the ass. But the good thing about their stupidity is I got away with about $400 of non-paid parking tickets!!
