And The Hits Just Keep on Coming, Part 1
There's only so much a person can take before they give up. I'm on the brink. Going back to school has been an absolute nightmare. Everyone knows that I thought I was done last summer and then earlier this year I was informed I needed to take one more course. I have been enrolled in that course since March, purchased and read the textbook cover to cover in April, and May 19th was the first day of class. Last Thursday was a dark day for me. I found out that the textbook my teacher told me to buy/read was for the undergrad class and I'm enrolled in the graduate course. We were working it out so that I could stay enrolled in the graduate course, do the undergrad coursework, complete the graduate project, and get credit for the graduate course. On Monday I found out that I cannot be enrolled in either course and that I needed to complete that course requirement at a different institution. I've been emailing, calling, and filling out online forms to change my student status from graduate student to post-baccalaureate student. As a post-baccalaureate student I can take the undergrad class online which will count toward my media specialist certification. Don't ask me to explain how this happened or why I can't just take any online class I want, the explanation will not make sense at all. Basically, you cannot earn the Media Specialist certification online at GSU, as advertised, without major problems. The same person keeps pointing the finger of blame at me when I'm just trying to go to school and pay them thousands of dollars. It's become crystal clear that I should have completed this certification through Valdosta State rather than GSU. When everything is done and I have my blessed certificate I will be writing a very long letter to the GSU President detailing my misadventures with this program. All I can do at this point is wait for it to get sorted out and have the correct class in my portal. The silver lining is that I did read the right textbook after all. However, I've already paid my tuition for SPED 6130 but I need to be enrolled in SPED 3331. That will need to be corrected by the computer fairies as well. I paid my money, I'm ready to learn, so let me get to work!!
