Graduation Flub


Deleting this post because the situation will be resolved over time. Thank you to those that commented.

Stultus est qui stratum, non equum inspicit; stultissimus qui hominem aut veste aut condicione aestimat.--Seneca the Younger

Why did they delete you from May?

So it's all the supervisor's fault? It was her responsibility to hold your hand throughout the process? Despite the fact that you're supposed to be an adult, you had no responsibilty to confirm any of the requirements for yourself, it was everyone else's responsibility to spoon-feed you the requirements?

Is this the way you're going to conduct yourself in future, take no responsibility for yourself but rely on everyone else to tell you what you need to know? Not only that, but for them to realize that you are too limited/important/(take your pick) to take your own responsibility and realize without being told that it is up to them to make sure you know everything you're supposed to?

It absolutely astonishes me how many people want all the benefits without any of the responsibilities and are ready to sue when they first encounter a situation where they learn that life doesn't work that way.

Yeah, that's right, flame me without enquiring how aggressively I have pursued my degree. Or better yet assume that I am some privileged person who figures that I deserve having everything served to me on a silver platter. Rather than troll some forum because you have nothing better to do-how about inquire more about the situation or do you run your firm or cases like you run this forum based on what you assume my character to be. If so I can see why you are on this forum rather than on actual cases.

It absolutely astonishes me how people can get inflamed over what they assume the situation is. Do I blame my supervisor, I did at first and as I stated I bit the bullet and applied for May. Did I ask her questions yes, and for your information I am an honor student and not only do I look out for myself but I reach out and tutor others so they can be "A" students. Since this situation I have gone out and reached out to all of my "students" approaching their senior year to apply because yes there is an application and I didn't want them to stumble as I did. I juggled more than an academic career, like a job and I led several organizations, so, I am more than independent. I have discussed at length many things with my superiors but that was never a topic that came up when graduation was brought up.

I met with the couselor in charge of graduation with regards to my being deleted--you self-righteous pig--and found out that my being deleted was THEIR BIG CLERICAL error and as a result have to work even harder to move mountains and graduate. I have always pursued my problems head-on and people like you who make base accusations on the character of a person rather than see if maybe there is more to the situation makes me sick. Your teloscopic vision is fascinating and I honestly don't know you got very in far in life. I hope you continue to bully people so passionately because you are so knowledable of everything and feel SO IMPORTANT. Thank God, someone like you showed up in my life...what were I honestly to have done without your kind and true assessment.

Also, it doesn't have to be a matter of suing, its a matter of whether I had been wronged period. When I initially wrote this I was in a panic and someone suggested that I seek legal advice regarding this. So, troll on.

I found out more info and it turns out that I was deleted because the transcript had been calculated to include 2 extra math I had taken. One math shouldn't have even shown up period it was an honest mistake on both sides. The other problem was one math that I had taken can't be taken if I had passed a more difficult math. Since I had passed both and taken the easier math as filler they were both credited in the transcript and I was informed at this point that one had to be dropped and if that happens I will be a credit short for graduation. That was the issue. After learning this and seeing that it was a mistake among other things and seeing a cave troll on the forums I realize that I may have been too panicked when I posted. I honestly didn't expect this thread to have gone any where and if there was a response I expected something intelligent not to be bullied based on someone's assumed opinion of me.
