My aging hormones can't take this excitement
Whoa, ups and downs today! First, I got an email response from the Dean today, basically telling me "So sorry, better luck next time, oh and hey - good luck finding classes at other schools!" Aargh. So that got me pretty down pretty quickly. She explained that the english classes just aren't that popular and with the budget cuts (Thanks again, Governor Schwartzennblegger!) she had to consider how many students needed the basics instead. That she may possibly alternate American Lit and English Lit online every other year. Fat lot of good that would do ME, heh. I emailed her back one more time that maybe in the future she could consider scheduling an evening English Lit class when an on-line class wasn't available - since it's REQUIRED and all, in a major they OFFER, and I would bet a good lot of their students have JOBS. Only I said it nicely. Really, really nicely. And my curt reply from her was something like "Thanks for your concerns. You have given me much to think about with scheduling." So I figured, Now I've pissed off the Dean. Go me! Heh. But this evening I got an email from my professor saying that I had written a very good letter.... and it worked! That the Dean is going to speak to the President about putting Creative Writing back on schedule for this summer, and that I'll probably be able to take English Lit from her in the Fall, AND she's going to enroll me in her on campus English Lit B class in the Spring and create an online syllabus just for me! Does this blow your mind or what??? So she asked me to help her find a couple more students, she wants a class of four "good students" who will complete the class and get A's, because she's "not getting full pay for this, that means I'm not teaching grammar :-)" She said Scott could join!!! I emailed one other student so far, and hopefully the Professor can find one or two more. But it looks like my education has been saved, by a professor who really cares. Guess I'll have to dedicate my first book to her, eh? Posted by Pischina at April 11, 2005 11:13 PMComments
