Today was a very frustrating day for me.

I woke up to an email telling me that my admissions to OSU was denied. I was shocked. I knew I met all the requirements, why didn’t I get in?? I called them and asked why I wasn’t accepted and they told me that I didn’t meet their math requirements. I then told them that I tested out of math at my old university, apparently OSU doesn’t accept clept classes. I asked if I could take a math class there to make up for it, and they said no. I need to have that credit before walking into OSU. Why? I have no idea. I don’t understand why I can’t take a needed math course at a university, that seems like it should be pretty simple. But what do I know.

So the lady in admissions tells me that  I need to go to a community college and take a math course and then transfer over to OSU. *Oh by the way, I should also mention that the admissions lady said that they need my high school transcripts to prove that I’ve met my English and foreign language requirements. I should also mention that my high school has closed their doors, my old alma mater is no more.* So, I called my old university and asked them if they could send me my old high school transcripts. They told me no; they’re not allowed to do that. They told me to call my old school district and see if I could get my transcripts from them. So I did. I called Weber school district and because Christian Heritage was a private school, they weren’t required to hand over any records. They told me to call the Utah school district and see if they had any of the records. I did; they don’t. How the hell does that happen?? My transcripts have to be somewhere but no one knows where.

So then, I called a community college out here to see if I could get in and finish my math requirements. I told her my predicament and she told me that I would need proof that I’ve taken certain prerequisites in order for me to walk into a college algebra class. Well, I tested out of math in college so I don’t have the proof there, and we all know what a mess my high school transcripts are. So once again I’m at a dead end.

Being very confused and frustrated after being transferred from person to person for 5 hours, I called back my old university and asked if I could finish my associates degree and then just walk into OSU and finish my bachelors. I have an interview tomorrow over the phone with my old university to talk to an adviser about whether or not I can finish online. Well, then I called OSU back to double check and make sure that would be acceptable. They told me no.  Even though I would have a degree (which obviously shows that I’ve met my general requirements), they won’t accept it because I still wouldn’t’ have that one damn math class.

Now I’m thinking that tomorrow on my phone interview I’m not going to ask if I can just finish my associates, I’m going to ask if I can finish my bachelors online through them because this whole thing has gotten so ridiculous. I want to say “screw OSU” and they’re unwillingness to work with me on my transfer, and stick to the university who already has my information and who will accept my math credits.

If they tell me no and I can’t finish my degree, well then *@#% me!

I can go without a degree, right? I mean who needs one when I can just sell my body for money, hookers make bank and the whole "girl next door thing"...people eat that shit up

I kid, I kid.
