Warm Fuzzies
I've spent most of today wrapped up in the warm fuzzies that come when you know someone cares enough to pay special attention. Yeah, I'm talking school, haha. I was pretty distraught last night, researching on-line English Lit courses all over California, and when I woke up this morning that was the first thing on my mind, that my entire educational plan was up in smoke. Then turning on the computer and seeing that my professor, who has a Phd in English, is willing to conduct two private classes with just me. Private classes with a Doctor in English!!! Although we're going to try to get some other students involved, to make it a workshop, we can still do it with just me. She could have said Sorry Charlie and went about her business, but she's trying to help.
I wrote my letter to the Dean. It was a nice letter, but I let her know these cancellations were delaying and/or preventing my graduation, that I cannot get an AA and I cannot even transfer as an English major without them. My professor said to make sure I told her I was considering taking classes at other schools, so I did. And I mentioned that even if she couldn't change the schedule, I just wanted her to know that there were students out here who needed them and counted on them. That scheduling a Core Class only in the morning prevented any adult with a 40 hour job from graduating. And I told her how most adults in my on-line classes were only back in college because of those classes. That we depended on them.
My professor said she should hear from the Dean tomorrow, I don't know when or if I will hear from her. She asked me to not mention the independent study courses - and to not tell her where I got her email address from, lol! As if she's not going to make that connection? lol! So hopefully I will have some very very good news tomorrow.
If not, West Valley here I come.
