So... apparently I'm going to graduate in one semester instead of two. School ends for me in freaking December instead of... next April, I guess?
I guess for a lot of people this would be a good thing, but considering the reasons WHY my school is shoving me face-first into a big steaming pile of early graduation, it's really not a good thing for me. I won't go into the details out here in public where the Facebook stalkers can see (it wouldn't surprise me if SVU had a Facebook Stalker Brigade specifically set up to find anything remotely negative said about the school or the people in charge of it, so they can overreact to THAT too and cause even more unnecessary problems in people's lives), but I'll let you know what's going on in messages if you want.
But yeah... apparently I'm graduating in December whether I want to or not (the only other option is "don't graduate at all and leave school NOW," so... that's only a "choice" in the same sense that somebody putting a gun to your head and saying "gimme all your money or I'll shoot" is a "choice.")
Apparently my watercolor class this semester is going to be jury-rigged into some sort of mutated half-watercolor/half-Senior Show monstrosity, so I can get all of my required classes out of the way before then.
And my paperwork for my apartment relied on me staying here until April (or was it May?)... so I guess I'll be living in Buena Vista in the spring even though I won't be going to school anymore. Or, I should say, even though I won't be *taking classes* anymore, because SVU is where most of my friends are and I don't want to just leave right away and go back to that horrible lonely boring place they call Alleghany County where I'll most likely never see any of them ever again. I guess I'll try to get a job of some sort in Buena Vista in an attempt to make enough money to pay my rent for that whole time. Which will probably be easier if I don't have to take classes at the same time. Maybe I can finally move out of Mom's house for good? I don't know how likely that is or how well it'll work, but it's bound to be better than "just go back home and die of boredom alone for the rest of your life" at least...
And on a weirder (but also not-making-much-sense) note, apparently the school thinks that I'd declared a double major (art and liberal arts.) I know I don't remember this ever happening, to the point where everyone I've talked to about it agrees that I've never even so much as mentioned a double-major as a possibility, but apparently they had me on record as a double-major. Would've been nice if they'd actually told me about that before today, since I was apparently the last one to know! And in further "incompetence from SVU staff" news, apparently they STILL don't have my senior paper on record, even though I've literally turned it in twice.
Aside from that: had a good sub at Subway today, and a nice moderately-long talk with a good friend (which really helped with the whole "SVU randomly shoving me into early graduation and then trying to fake nice by constantly claiming that they were 'on my side' or 'trying to help' when actually they were doing the opposite" situation--thanks again, if you're reading this! I know I already thanked you like three times, but there is no way to thank you enough. Seriously.) I've also gotten back into working on Okédoké!, finishing up the lower floors of the secret lab in Alaska--I just added the battle with Darth Cheney in yesterday and was testing it out earlier, and everything seems to work fine (though he seems a bit easy even with characters at only level 12, so I might pump him up a little bit.) And now... time to work myself half to death with painting homework. And also take a shower.
