So, a couple of weeks ago i went to see my counselor at Fullerton College and received some rather crushing news that almost destroyed me in one foul swoop. I discovered i was 18 units shy of the 60 you need to transfer. Now normally this would not have been such a huge deal if they had not closed spring transfer due to budget cuts and all the jazz. For all you people who don't know how the transfer process works let me take a moment and explain. If you apply in the fall you don't get notified that you are excepted into the school until about april-may, and then you attend whatever university the coming fall. I'm applying this semester (fall) so i would be excepted next semester (spring). Now i received the bad news that i dint have enough units to transfer now. This is a problem. Normally i would just apply in the spring instead but not they closed it so i would have to wait 2 years to transfer...which would be horrible!! So i'm stuck taking a winter intercession which is 2 weeks long and 15 units in the spring (one 5 unit, one 4 unit, and two 3 units) booooo. But, on the upside i went to Cal State Long Beach and talked to a counselor and the head of the Criminal Justice department and they said i should have no problem getting excepted if i can get all the 60 units! Yay!
Ok on to today. So, i'm taking this speech 105 class and we have a 4-5 page paper due in 2 weeks. No big deal right? Wrong. We have to "collect date" for our papers. Now this is what our data is supposed to consist of. We can either a) stare at someone in an elevator b) walk up to a random person and start a conversation with them c) complement somebody randomly d) or while talking to someone sniff and wink at them a lot. Now is it just me or is this really stupid on a lot of different levels? My solution to the problem. Lie. That's right i'm breaking one of the ten commandments, but i just can't do this. So, what i have decided to do is take something like this that has happened to me and reverse the roles. It's not a complete lie right? Just revised.
Awww...how about this. We got to lunch and you can stare, sniff and wink at me as much as you want. And I promise to give you a good reaction for your paper. :-)
