Good evening ladies, please forgive me. I need to vent before I have a heart attack or lose my mind. As some of, if not all of you, know I've been in school ever since May 21st.
I haven't been here half the time, because I've been studying hard. There are some nights that I've come home from school with a headache or I've come home drained. I've been busting my hump doing allllllll of the work that is required of me.
We have a portfolio that has to be turned in during a deadline. I've been going to school 8 hours before I have to get the work done. I've dealt with incompetent paratransit drivers, I've dealt with the unbearable heat. I've sat through class with some very rude and immature students, and every chance that they got, they disrupted the whole class, and the instructor did NOTHING TO STOP IT. I'm sorry for yelling, but I'm very, very, very, very, very, very angry. Now, I've done alllllll of my work, I've done it three times over. The last time I did my work, MY PORTFOLIO WASN'T TURNED IN. Why? My instructor was informed, by the chair of the English department, that even though the work that was done was beyond what was expected....... she only required a few specific pieces of classwork.
Now, please, those of you that have doctorates, I'm begging you, please don't get offended about what I'm about to "say". But it doesn't impress me if she has three doctorates, if you don't clearly explain from the beginning what specific pieces of classwork that you want, the first time, then DON'T COME TO ME, THROUGH MY INSTRUCTOR AND SAY THAT MY WORK HAS TO BE CORRECTED! And not to mention, that doesn't impress me that you have that doctorate!!! We have this little cutesy thing called "Bridging" that's where you can move on to your next set of classes, but you have to go back to finish off what you were doing to complete all of the required work.
My instructor had the nerve to say, or attempt to say, "Don't take it personal, you're not alone in this". I looked him in the eyes and said, "I'm going to take it personal, I've worked my arse off!" Now mind you we're talking about me, in high school, I just scraped by with just C's and D's. Now, I'm getting A's and B's. I told him, "If I have to work alllll night long on the remaining lessons, then they will get done."
Not to mention, the paratransit bus was a WHOLE HOUR LATE!!! picking me up, which meant, I didn't get home until 10:30. Needless to say, I'm stillllll livid about the whole ordeal.
Thanks for your patience, I apologize again for yelling, if I've offended anyone, please forgive me. There is no need to respond, I just needed to get this out of my system before I did something stupid.
Thanks,
Sebastian

I hope you are able to get everything done that needs to be done and are able to continue with your schooling with less issues.
I agree with you that having a doctorate degree doesn't give anyone the right to be stupid and a jerk.

It is good you could come here to vent! I would have been venting too. Sounds like you have had a rough time and I am sorry to hear it.

Thanks rowan, I know it's ok for a guy to cry, and I've come close to tears, but this is crazy. Sometimes it's all too tempting to just say, "Enough is Enough!!! and just stay home. But I must continue on. I must, no matter what.
Thanks and hugs,
Sebastian

Oh ((((Sebastian)))) I hear you! Nothing you said was offensive. Juggling school, work, life is HARD. They should make it clearer and easier to get precisely what they expect. CLEAR and in writting. You will make it through and one day, all this painful stuff will be but a memory. Keep on keeping on!
We did not have "bridging" when I was in college or grad school. I am pulling for you.

Keep on you sweet man. Keep on!!!

Geez, ((((SB)))))
I'd be really pissed, too. It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, there is no need to be a pain about stuff. It also doesn't guarentee that if you have any kind of a teaching degree that you can really teach....

Hi Laurie, please forgive me for not responding to you earlier today, I really had to get out of bed and showered and dressed. If I had stayed in bed any longer I would have made the decision not to go to school at all.
But thanks hon.

Thanks roxy. And you're right, sooner or later all of this will be just a painful memory, but it won't be something that I won't soon forget. But, I know one thing about myself, I am very determined to change my life.
Thanks again.
Hugs,
Sebastian.

Thank you, ladies. My day went ok. I'm still unnerved about yesterday. I spoke with my pre-tech writing teacher and I made a realistic decision, if I have to brige then I will bridge. But when I said that he snorted/chuckled, so I'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow, when I turn in the rest of my work and then get the rest of my grades.
I will definately keep everyone posted.
Thanks again, hugs
Sebastian
