Sick
I'm getting completely sick of college. I have to do everything on my own and I'm the one who has to plan and schedule my own final examinations. I filled out special forms that they were supposed to forward to my campus so I could walk in and take certifications, but I haven't heard anything and here I am getting warnings about getting classes and assignments done on time so I can get the submitted before the last day, which turns out to be May 5, not May 10 like the syllabus says.
I email my instructor and, lo! Behold, they have absolutely no idea what to do, so they forward the message to someone who can "help". Then I get the message saying May 5 is the end of class deadline, so I ask ths instructor if they've heard anything back. Apparently not, and I need to contact my own campus to do the scheduling, so here I am emailing the Kokomo campus because nobody else directly responsible for my courses is doing anything and, hey! Guess what? The department that handles certifications is closed for this week for absolutely no reason! This is the exact thing that happened last semester! Nobody told me what the heck to do, and when I started digging and finding names of people to talk to, it turns out that they're all on vacation during school when I need to be talking to them.
I have sooo many people telling me that school prepares you for the work force, not just by educating you, but by giving you a taste of how the world works. If this is what I have to look forward to, please... Kill me NOW. If work is going to be like this, I should just cut my losses and go offer my services to a local business who isn't going to find the skills I have (a professional network engineer living in Indiana?) and just find another job if they manage to hire someone with a real degree who actually wants to stay in this forsaken pit of despair. If work is like school, I'm going to be giving up and moving to another job every 5 months anyway and my resume full of quitting is quickly going to overshadow anything my degrees have to offer.
This is ridiculous.
