This morning I paid for my last semester of school. (I also desposited the check from my grandmother that pays for that last semester in my bank account at lunch.) Just one more semester and I'll be done.
One more semester and I'll also be able to Mirandize someone in Spanish. But that's thanks to one of my classes.
School is going to kick my ass this semester though, and not in a fun, physical training kind of way. There are two Criminal Justice classes that are always in the fall. Always. Spanish for the Workplace and Investigative Principles. They also are the only classes with labs that fall two days a week. The fun for this comes from the fact that I *tried* to take IP last fall, but I was the only person who signed up. Since it wasn't my last semester, the class was canceled (they have to hold a class for one person if it's their last semester). So this fall, I go to class Monday through Thursday, and have one online class (Court Procedures and Evidence).
It gets better.
IP and Spanish are always held at 5:10 pm for evening students. Now, I've heard people saying this was stupid for a long time. It is stupid. The whole purpose of night classes is to have them at *night*. Because the reasoning for night classes is that people WORK during the day. Like me. Who works from 8:30 to 5:00 at an office 30 miles away. It takes me, at the very least, 40 minutes to get home at the end of the day.
Are you seeing how I'm screwed?
Well, in preparation for me, they changed IP to 6:10, both last fall and this time around. I love them for it. But Spanish? Because it's run out of a different department, it's still at 5:10. The lovely head of that department suggested I work through lunch those days and leave early. For 3 and a half months. Yeah. NOT! So what's the other solution? Talk to the instructor about "special projects" to make up for my missed class time.
Which is what I get to do next Tuesday night. Leave work early just to get to the first class on time and discuss the situation with a part time instructor who doesn't know me from Jack.
