Today is my Judgement Dayposted Jan 10th 2006, 7:49PM
Mood: Scared
Music: None...just the steady hum of my computer
So, yesterday I get this email in my inbox. It's from school. The subject reads "Academic Standing". All of a sudden I felt nervous and scared as hell. I didn't wanna open it, but I know I had to. After a few minutes, I opened it...and this is what it read:
"Our records indicate you were disqualified for the second time as a result of your cumulative grades, including Fall2005. You have been dropped from your Spring 2006 classes. If you are registered in an Early Spring Intersession class(es), you will be allowed to remain in and complete that class. A hold has been placed on your record preventing further enrollment.
You will be required to sit out one for the remainder of the Spring semester. In the meantime, you are urged to see a counselor to assist with your educational planning. The hold will be automatically removed prior to registration for the Spring 2005 semester."
Ugh. So, now...I have to go back to school *which I miss very much* and try and beg as much as I can for them to let me stay. After my initial shock, I went to check my grades for that last semester. I got an F in my Chicano Studies class, but I got a C in my Women's History class *thank you, Bale-sensei!* So...I'm not sure what'll happen, but a lot went down during that last semester:
~ Mom had numerous diabetes attacks
~ My Grandma had to be taken to the hospital because she had an illness and she was and still is very weak *long story :(*
~ My family is going through some MAJOR property troubles. Another long story...basically my parents and grandma got sued by some guy that our dog bit - and thanks to that bastard our dog had to be put to sleep *RIP Smokey, we miss you so much!* The dude's asking for WAY MORE than my parents can afford, so Dad's asking for help from a shitload of credit unions and banks. Poor Dad.
*sighs* So, hopefully, if I explain EVERYTHING to my couselor *I'll need a damn compassionate one* HOPEFULLY I can do a workshop and stay in school. Because if my parents ever found out about that email, I'm screwed!!!!
Heh. Damn good thing I never tell my parents about my school shit. They got enough to deal with anyway.
*sigh* So much for my 1st journal post on here being a happy one :(
Please pray/hope that I make it out OK, guys. I *need* to be in school. ;_;
