First off! I totally made up for the BOMBED first exam in my calculus class! The professor offered a measly 10 points extra credit if we re-did the exam. Okay. I did the extra credit and moved my points from 39 to 49. It's still failing. HOWEVER! On Tuesday we had our second exam. 13 questions and a flat 2 hours. No extension. I was anxious all weekend about that. I was also hoping for at least 75 points. Nah, man! I ACED THAT SUCKER! 100/100! Excuse me, what?! I've been checking the class website because I'm convinced it's a mistake and I really got between 75-95 points. The next exam is later this month, and then the final is June 9th.

Also, I spoke with a completion counselor about why I got the email for the fall semester when this is supposed to be my last semester before transferring and she said that e-mail is sent to all students, but she could understand why I would be worried.

She also checked about why there was no "movement" on my graduation (the status hadn't changed from when I submitted it in January/February)...which led to her checking my transcripts to see if that was why my application hadn't been processed.

Apparently, because I hadn't applied to any universities to transfer to, they process the applications of students who had already applied to universities. But she was going to email them for confirmation, and then once she heard back, she was going to email me with her findings.

Either way, I'm still on track to graduate in June/transfer once I apply (looking at ASU, Cal State LA, and Washington University in St. Louis).

She asked me if I was going to participate in the commencement ceremony in June. I said that I wasn't sure as I have a final that day and the professor requires students to be present with their cameras on during exams. I also told her that I was going to ask him if the final was still going to be on June 9 and whether an exception can be made for me. But honestly, I still don't know if I want to participate in the ceremony. It will be another AS degree and I'd rather just wait for the big university graduation with my bachelor's (or master's if I do both at the same time) in a few years.

heard back from the school. the e-mail is/was legit.

apparently my username is my name plus my original password.

so I log in for more information and get this message:

You are not yet eligible to register for graduation because you have an outstanding balance. To pay this balance, please contact Victoria Goykhman, Tuition Financing Specialist, at (xxx) xxx-xxxx, extension xxx. Once your balance is paid in full, you will be able to register for graduation. If you feel you have received this message in error, please contact Stephanie Perez at (xxx) xxx-xxxx, extension xxx.

Umm whut? As far as I know, the only "outstanding balance" I have are my student loans. And I don't think I would have been able to graduate, as it were, if I owed anything else. So now I have to call back and see what this mess is all about.

But besides that, there are "Graduation Fees"! $39 for graduation fee, includes cap and gown. and get this! $19 per guest that you would like to invite and I have a limit of 5 people I can invite.

Uhh pass on that! But I'm still going to find out about this "outstanding balance" I supposed owe.

eta: so I don't have an outstanding balance and they've made a note of that so I can register for the ceremony...if I was going to attend that is. I think it's ridiculous that I have to pay and then pay for up to 5 guests too. If this would have happened a few weeks or a month after I finished the program and got my certificate in the mail, I would have probably given it more consideration.

So, umm, I graduated from ICDC College online back in November and TODAY, August 15, 2012, I get an e-mail that ICDC College will celebrate the graduation of its 10/15/11 - 10/15/12 Graduates (that means me!) on Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.

3 things: a) why did no one tell me there was actually going to be a graduation, b) why didn't they tell me they'd be celebrating groups of graduates and c) 3 months notice? I have to rsvp for more information.

My parents won't be here to go to it. That's 10 days into their month long vacation in FL.

I'm going to think on this before deciding if I want to be apart of the graduation.

Kirsten Vangsness is giving the Commencement Address at Cypress College (I graduated from there in 2006)

so I'm thinking, how did they pull off getting someone like her?

I read the program and saw that she attended the school.

so cool!

Celebrity status! (2 who I'm familiar with)

I went to the same high school as Suzanne Marques. She's the Entertainment/Lifestyle Reporter for CBS in Los Angeles
and now I can add that I went to the same college as Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope Garcia on Criminal Minds)

The graduation is May 29th so I'm going to try my hardest to go - even if I'm only able to see her address. That alone is cool to me!

apparently online students don't get an actual graduation. sucks, but one less thing (cap/gown, etc) I have to purchase

behind a cut to save your page )

now as everyone seems to like to remind me, time to look for a job - only I've been doing that for the last month, so really, time for me to continue what I've been doing.

today is my last class.

my advisor called to say that once my grade for the class is posted (and right now I am a bit nervous I won't pass with a C) he'll file my graduation papers

cool.

but the one thing I'm going to miss about all this is not being able to say I have class as a reason I can't do something. I get shit when I say I don't want to as my reason, but damn it, I'm 29 and shouldn't be forced to help someone at an event I'm not comfortable being at.

Anyways, had "dinner" early today. As in I just finished it 10 minutes ago. it's only 4:40 pm. That's even 2 hrs early for the Early Bird Special at most dining establishments lol

I've gotten some lovely Scott pictures posted here and I'd love more! gonna start on that collage wallpaper and maybe even make some 2012 desktop calendars. Hmmm

June 2025
