You guessed it kids - CW Post has fucked me over again, one last (Deity willing) time before graduation. Extremely abbreviated story: no where and at no time was I informed by either the Education or History departments that I needed to take comprehensive exams for two my history courses in order to graduate, in addition to my student teaching experiences and my professional portfolio. My professor, who is the graduate advisor in the history department, has fortunately agreed with me that the circumstances are unfair, and is allowing me to take the comps later than everyone else so that I can graduate on time.
This, in the scheme of things, is not a big deal. It's only two hour-long essays, I'm sure I'll pass without much trouble. Inconvenient? Hell yeah. But not damning. The absurdity of the situation is: this is the second extremely important requirement that the administration at Post has failed to inform me about in the past year. My frustration level is enough that I really do want to find out where my advisor, the former graduate advisor in the History Department, and every Dean in the School of Education live so that I may set their cars on fire and inconvenience and psychologically hurt them as much as they have inconvenienced and psychologically hurt me.
And despite my inner turmoil at this disturbing news, I can admit that when I got that dreadful email from my professor (thank Deity for her diligence), I really wasn't surprised. It seems that Murphy's Law has enacted it's cruel reality on me yet again. This just further provokes my suspicion that there is no such thing as fate or a unifying Force in the universe. So thanks CW Post, for destroying whatever residual faith I may have had left after these 2.5 terrible years at your school. Hope your institution collapses in upon it's own incompetence and I never have to pay back my student loans. Fuck you very much.
