And So Its Come to This........... a Blog

Why bother with creative original content when one can post the minutiae of a numbingly average life?

Well, for those of you who happened to check facebook and happened to notice a certain status update I gave you might have figured out that I was extremely upset about something.
That something was a class that is fundamental for my major being changed around. Because Castleton is 'the small school with a big heart' alot of classes can only be made available once a semester and often only once every two years. Theories and Practices of History, which is senior seminar lite, is in my course catalog (which acts as a degree contract) lists this as being held every Spring. Well I go to get a preliminary schedule and lo and behold it is only available in the Fall. You'd think this fact would have been made public? Maybe?
Nope. My adviser didn't bother to mention it to me and after talking today with many history majors not a one of them knew about the change. I hate Castleton. I really do.
Anyway, after I exploded and bitched to Keri for three hours about how everything sucked and there was really no point in continuing my education as I got screwed at every turn. (She happened to be visiting our pod, Taylor and Mike and Bethany were present but were smart enough to just tune me out. Keri learned the hard way about my doom rants.)
There is no professionalism at this school.

Whatever. I register for classes at Midnight. Here is what I'll end up with:

EDU-2870 Early Field Experience
EDU-3410 Educational Assessment
EDU-3450 Instructional Applications of Computers
EDU-4210 Models of Secondary Teaching

FRE-1112 French II, because of schedule conflict this class will be an independent study with the sole other History Honors student. We will be reading French literature because our degree only requires reading comprehension.

INT-1052 Soundings II, A Freshman requirement but I never got around to finishing it.

and (drum roll please)

INT-2110 Collapse of a Civilization, Which includes a one week trip to Belize to view Mayan ruins. It includes components of South American biology, Mayan astronomy and of course history.

So that kind of makes up for London. But Castleton will have to work hard for forgiveness.
