I hate UT (Tennessee that is). I’m counting down the days of my last semester there.
I show up to my class the meets Mondays from 3.30-6.30. What’s the first thing I’m greeted with? Apparently the prof has a conflict with the time. She’s on the faculty senate or something like that which meets once a month on Mondays starting at 3.30. The class meeting has to be changed to a different day. So we try to figure out a new day… Wednesdays. That would be fine except we have to start this Wednesday. Um, big problem there. I work. I have to in order to pay for the constantly increasing tuition which probably paid for Shumaker’s $4000 grill.
Now I have to choose between work and school. Granted the prof isn’t going to be holding this one absence against me, I’m still missing 3 hours of a 400 level class at the beginning of the semester. This could potentially throw me off for the entire term. I can’t screw work over. They’re understaffed as is and it’s not their fault that UT can’t get its shit together. I can’t drop the class since I need the hours to graduate and there are no other classes available.
I keep trying to tell myself this is the last semester, but something keeps telling me that Big Orange Screw is gonna get me when graduation comes around this December.
