It happened AGAIN! I was thrown out of ANOTHER class! This time it was the English 101 class I enrolled in to take the place of the French class!
When I went to class last Monday, (the previous Monday was President's Day), I found out that I was not on the official roster; but the "Exclusion List". Apparently I was only enrolled in English 101 via a computer glitch. (Normally, since English 101 is a required class for ALL students, if you're not there the first day of class, you DON'T get in.) But according to my official Pierce College file, my status in the class is "Active", meaning I'm enrrolled in the class, NO QUESTION. (The computer allowed not only myself, but my boyfriend, Juan, in the class, too!) We were all set, too; got our books and everything!
According to the instructor, he had two spaces left, (All English classes are limited to 35 students max) that SHOULD have been ours, but when he went to speak with the head of the English Department about allowing us in regardless, all he got was a big fat NO and was forced to kick Juan and I OUT. (It wouldn't have been fair to give us the spots, when there were seven people on the stand-by list!) 
As a result, we've lost three units, making us both below a full load and in danger of losing our Financial Aid. 
By this time, it was the third week of school and almost ALL classes are closed.
So Juan and I went to see Leslie Cook, our counselor, and complained. When we told her, the first thing she said was "That's not your problem". She could not believe what she was hearing and the callousness of the English Department Head. So what if it was a computer glitch? That's the school's fault entirely. The two remaining spots were RIGHTFULLY OURS; too bad to the stand-by people.
Not knowing what else she could do, she wrote some emails to a few instructors of other courses at that time to see if they would take us in, even though it's the third week, explaining about the computer glitch and the ill-treatment from Mr. Head of the English Department. But the prospect of finding another class is dim. (I also told her about what the French teacher did to me and she can't believe that either. All she said was "Do you know how many students enroll in Spanish 1 even though they are already 100% fluent in Spanish? If you want to enroll in French 1, then that's your RIGHT and she can't discriminate against you for that.")
Angered by all she heard, she picked up our files and said "Let's go make some noise in the Dean's office". But naturally the deans were in a meeting, so Juan and I are going back Monday to raise high-holy-hell with the Dean of English and the Dean of French. She said to make them find you another class or call Financial Aid and tell them to NOT TOUCH ONE PENNY of our aid money because of Pierce's mistake. If the deans give no satisfaction, then we go to the Head of the Community College District AND hire a lawyer.
Now my schedule is as follows:
Child Development 1: 3 Units
Elementary Voice 1: 2 Units
Philosophy 33: Comparative Survey of World Religions: 3 Units
Astronomy 1: 3 Units
Total: 11 Units
I'll let you know what happens. . .
Oh the horror that is Elementary Voice! The voices of some of those people in there is AWFUL! I tell ya, it makes your ears bleed. This one guy's singing is simply ABOMINABLE! Whenever he goes on stage, I LEAVE the room. (Sorry, I'm spoiled. I grew up in a musical household with an uncle who is a concert violinist and has PERFECT PITCH. (He can tell you the exact note a vacuum cleaner makes!). Almost all my family plays some kind of instrument; hence why I'm pursuing voice.)
I love Astronomy. Our instructor is great. She's an Astrophysicist with NASA and JPL who's specialty is Extra Solar Planets, or planets outside our solar system and sun. So she's really interested in finding exterrestial life; even if it's just simple like bacteria. And she's not quick to discount the presence of God either. (She believes God was responsible for the Big Bang and everything in the universe).
Okay, I gotta go; my cat won't let me write anymore because he wants to sleep on the keyboard.
*****UPDATE MARCH 3, 2009*****
My counselor found a class for Juan and I! We now have beyond a full load once again!
