Those who know me know I have been going to school for a very long time. Forever, in fact. Yes, forever! It never ends. I’ve taken about a million classes. Yes, a million! And no, I am not prone to exaggeration. Why do you ask?
I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (can I get a HALLELUJIAH?), and today I stopped by my advisor to make sure things were on track. As she was scrolling through my millions (yes, millions!) of credits she noticed I had not officially applied to receive my associate’s degree even though I am qualified for it. I suppose I was so focused on the bachelor’s that I never really thought about the associate’s, but I figured I should get that taken care of. If nothing else, at least it will help me feel like I accomplished something.
So, I just logged into the school website and went through the degree application process. Everything was going swimmingly until I reached the last step: paying $20 to apply for graduation. Whaaaa…??? I assumed the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS I spent in tuition over the years would cover the whole degree thing!
How foolish of me!
Aargh!!
Oh my gosh, I hear you! It’s ASSanine (yes, I meant to put an emphasis on ASS).
UGH!!!!!
Not to mention text books, and parking stickers, and extra school fees…..it’s such a joke!
Awesome that you have your associates, though. Good job!
So I thought today would be a little warmer when I told you we’d be at the playground all day:( maybe another day.
