I am at a crossroads yet again, facing decisions I thought had already been made and I'm lost at what to do. I went in for my advising this semester and was sent to academic advising, because once again I was registered an taking classes I already had credit for. Even though I registered based of of my advising session with academic advising this summer. I go to academic advising again, and the woman questions me about why I even want to pursue my bachelors degree and continues to inform me that it is going to take me another 4 and a half years to graduate. Which I ask since I have already been here for a year and a half why it would take me longer to graduate than a normal freshman, and she responded by saying oh I'm sorry I meant 4 and a half semesters at 16 credits a semester and since most classes are 3 credits thats not possible so I'm looking at 5 to 6 semesters and I work full time so 16 credits is next to impossible since the art classes are all studio classes and are 3 hrs long each. Now last semester I was told it would take me 2 years to graduate. A year ago when I came to the school and they looked over all my transcripts I was told it would take me 2 years to graduate so I have no gaurantee that in another year they are not going to tell me the exact same thing. I am so frustrated i feel like I have wasted a lot of time and money although the personal experience has been rewarding. Then today There is a graphic design job in the paper for the newspaper in town. I don't know if this is a coincidence or a sign or what to think. So I'm going to review all of my options. I'm going to send my resume into the news paper, and then I'm going to decided what to do with the rest of my life. I know i have two college degrees, I know that I can get a job, I know that I don't need a bachelors degree, but I really wanted one. But logically I don't think I'm on the right path. I should never have gone to a school who has a coyote as a mascott, I feel like I've been dooped. And maybe I should channel the roadrunner and flee while I still have my sanity.
