they lost my paperwork

so this is semester 4 for me. semester two i had to drop cuz i cudnt afford books, but cuz i dropped too late, it counted as a W to my records. well at the end of semester 3, my completion rate was under 67% and my school put me on academic suspension.

i spent 6 hours getting a letter of appeal ready for the committee, i filled out the application and i handed it all into my school student services in a very timely matter. that was 7 days ago, and i still havent heard anything.

today is the first day of the semester and i didnt know if i shud still go to class so i stop in to ask my adviser. he checks with the lady in charge of registration then comes back and tells me that she lost my paperwork.

the letter i spent so much time on and printed out on resume paper is fucking gone....just *poof*

being an over prepared IT person i said i have it in .doc and PDF format on my (one of 5 million) jump drives in my backpack. so my adviser tells me to go print it again and come back to talk to the register lady. so i do, but i completely break down in the hallway...school is the only thing i have going for me right now, the thought of losing more time is heart breaking.

i get back, and go to this ladies office. i walk in and her office is the single most trashed place ever. it looks like a tornado hit it five times! no wonder she lost my paperwork, i wonder how many other students her lack of a file cabinet fucked over. i give her my papers and she apologizes. im say its ok, but i sheepishly remark that i hope it doent get lost again, this lady reassures me and tells me i will probably get an email of the committee's decision before the day ends.

well, their office closes at 5....its 4:30....no email....

i swear to fucking god, if she loses it again...

and im sure the committee will think i was lazy i didnt hand in my paperwork right away, cuz i doubt this lady will be like "i lost it, oops" i was working my ass off to make an impression of im serious about my education, and this lady fucks that up for me.

im so pissed, been pissed all day. and if i have to withdraw again i have to do so by friday, so they better tell me by wednesday morning, or im gonna be this ladies worst nightmare. seriously, u wud think that a place that deals with peoples money and futures like this wud have their shit together.

and of course, as im typing this, i get her email.

i get to stay!!!!!

Whew... so glad you get to stay! I was on pins and needles reading the first post. My heart was aching for you. You're probably right in suspecting that woman's lack of organization has caused problems for many people. It's a shame. Thank goodness you can continue your classes in spite of her negligence.

thanks Rebecca.

after i posted my rant i checked my email and after reading the good news i thought
"well my rant was kinda silly now!"

really improved my day seeing that email!

yay! i'm so glad you got the email and you can stay. ^_^

...she should really get a filing cabinet though, wow. o_o
