I've been having a bad past couple of days and I just don't see much hope in sight. I've spent the first two years of my college career at a small college, and now I am supposed to transfer to a larger university into a major that's rather small compared to all the other one's that are offered (there are about 130 in the program already, I was accepted into the program as a transfer so I guess i'm not doing so bad on that front).
Friday, the gf, myself and my mother went to the school for orientation. We were supposed to get our schedules, get acquainted with the school, meet our advisors, that sort of thing, but the whole entire day was a nightmare for me. No one from my major showed up, I couldn't schedule, but I did meet with a retired professor in the major that helped me decide what I need, and I was told that I could enter my classes online myself and I would not need a pin number to do so since I am a transfer student. So, no biggie, I thought my nightmare was over, and I could finally get the entire bad day over with, as all of my friends (gf included) were able to schedule for classes, obtain their student ID's (which we had to pay for, so I'm out that $20 or so unless this mess gets straightened out).
Well, turns out I need a pin number, so I can't schedule. I've tried contacting the department since Friday and I haven't heard back from anyone. I am just entirely way too frustrated with the school and how they handle things. I just don't want to attend school, let alone that one, anymore. I have said that if I don't hear anything by Friday, I'm done with school. At least that one, because I'll drop. I didn't appreciate dealing with people that are supposed to be professionals, pretty much yelling at me and telling me I could not get an ID w/out a schedule, even when I tried to explain my situation, and she didn't let me. I don't appreciate having to travel all over to straighten out the school's mistakes, as I was not the one that placed myself in the wrong major and decided not to show up for scheduling.
This whole thing has left me drained, physically and mentally. I'm just so frustrated and ready to give up. If anyone has some prayers or a little extra energy to send I'd be extremely grateful.
