x_multiplemanUm, Alison? You should probably keep an ear out for a call from the guy who's gonna be my academic advisor at NYU next year. And, um, possibly also from the registrar?
And maybe the Dean of Students. Um.
See, the thing is, they kinda . . .
Well, they don't really have, y'know, procedures in place for people who want to take simultaneous classes? The extra credit-load they can handle, it's just, the whole thing with having two 8 AM classes on the same days of the week, that kind of threw them for a loop. And then they took another look at my Xavier's transcript, and I tried to explain but I'm not really sure they believed me that I can pay attention both places at once. So, y'know, if maybe you could reassure them about that? They'll probably listen to you, with being a teacher and all. That would be great, and thanks. And I'm sorry for the trouble.
That was a really awkward meeting. Man. I guess at least they didn't kick me out or anything, so that's good.

-hugs- Sorry they were giving you grief, although we did kind of expect it.
Mrrr, morning classes with the hour commute are going to be a pain, you know. Haven't got my schedule finalized, yet.

I was kinda hoping they wouldn't check. Which was probably, in retrospect, kinda silly of me.
And, yeah, it probably will be. We'll give it a try, and if it ends up sucking I'll remember that for the next quarter.

Course they were gonna check. I was betting on they'd decide that if you failed it was your problem, cause university administrators, not so known for their involvement in student life. Which, I guess, makes it both good and bad that they were worried.

Well, it was mostly . . .
Erm, yeah, the words "never had a freshman request to take this many classes" might have floated around the table at one point. Aheh.

Everybody's laughing at me. You'd think I'd made this a public journal post or something.

Funny that, yes.
