I just need to vent.

It’s taken me so long and finally I thought I was graduating in the Spring. After people telling me one thing, and me finding out they were wrong. I trusted my academic advisor, she was wrong. I found out from the registrar that I needed two more classes to graduate, and they werent offered until the Fall semester. SO I decide to email my professor just to make sure after I take these classes in the Fall, that I could do my practicum in the spring and then graduate in May. Then she says as long as I got a C+ in my Spanish for swk class because its not offered anymore. We have a new gen ed system, but I am still on the old one because I started before it was enacted. But I didnt get a C+ and everyone has known that, I got a C-, yes I know awful but I did. I struggled. But my problem is now she wants to meet with me, and basicalyl she is going to tell me that I have to now go with the new gen ed requirements meaning I’ll have to take more classes and who knows. I am seriously thinking about just quitting. I cant keep letting them drag me along anymore. It’s always something. I started Malone in the Fall of 2002. I took some time off to have and be with my Daughter, but I came back, and every since they keep dragging me along. Malone is 24,000 a year. I cant afford it anymore, I can get anymore loans after so long you cant get anymore out. I might as well give it up. I hate Malone, I really do. I use to love it, now all my friends are gone and everyone is looking at me like I’m never going to graduate and I am a big failure. I dont want to prove them right but its like they are doing everything to stop me from graduating. I hate this. I’ve lost my passion and my will to continue.

i know you’re at a low point, but after everything you’ve been through, you need to get your degree. do you want to live with regrets. “If only i had gotten my degree…” If people are looking down to you, you need to prove them wrong! (They’ve been wrong before) Think of your daughter…

Thanks lilie and crackhacky. This whole time I said I wanted to prove everyone wrong. Once I had my daughter everyone said I would never come back, well I did and now look at me. This whole time I’ve been trying and trying. I’ve wanted to be a social worker since I was a little girl. But I really dont think I can do it anymore. Financially and emotionally I am drained. It’s not like social workers make that much money anyways, is it really worth it to go on? I could be working full-time and paying off debt, and saving up to by a house. Oh I hate this…I want to keep going strong, and I am thinking about my daughter. I dont know if this is worth it for any of us anymore. Even my daughter. I hate to be down and depressed but you dont understand how often this has happend to me. I was suppose to graduate May of 2006. I assumed up until 30minutes ago, that I was for sure graduating in May of 2008, and NOW she is pulling more crap out. I cant do this anymore. Its one stupid 2 credit class. I hate this…urrrrr I hate this. I know its all my fault I could have done better, I could have tried just a little harder, I could have waited to have my daughter, I could have done this or that. But I didnt. So it is my fault but I hate that people say one thing and then they are like oops sorry I was wrong. It doesnt matter to them, but to me it makes a huge difference on my life. I mean my marriage is slowly slipping and I’ve only been married 2 years, my credit is awful because of all the loans we’ve had to get out because I go to an expensive college. Its too late to transfer, I already tried and the schools told me I would have been done by now if I went to their college, I’ve met al ltheir requirements, but I go to a private liberal arts college and you have to take a million classes. I hate this. I dont want to be quitter, I dont want to let people walk all over me, I want to be strong, but I dont know if I can anymore, for anyone. I dont want a guilt trip, I’m not looking for that. I am just ticked off, I even have been asking if I was on the right track periodically and they said I was and then this bullshalooga.

Sorry, It does feel a little better to get this off my chest. I tried calling my husband and he was like ok..and said he was too busy to talk to me about this and hung up. I know he was working on his truck for work, but the point is I just needed to get this off my chest.

Blah. I am going to play witih Maria and then put her off to a nap. Thanks again!

See I cant take my spanish class over, first their aren’t very many classes that are “spanish for social work”, and second, if I take it at another college it wont count towards my GPA, and they said that wont work. I already asked”

The other problem is that my advisor is the head of the social work program, and she has been for a very long time. She is well respected. She isnt evil or anything, she just I dont know. I am done talking about it tonight I’m sorry. I have to push it out of my mind tonight. My girlfriends are taking me out to dinner and then line dancing for my birthday. I’m excited. I dont get out much:)

Thank you all who gave great advice you guys all rock!:)
