But apparently the guy next to me doesn't know that rule of life. Really. I'm sitting here listening to my music, and I can still hear him jabbering on. I don't know what about - I've heard snippets, something about him tutoring, and then about his running habits, and how he has something that he needs to see a doctor about, along with how he can handle the class he's failing in. I really don't think the girl to whom he is talking cares at all. She hasn't lifted her head from the paper she's correcting at all, and is only making "mhm" noises.
So I saw my guidance counselor today. I told her about this Disney program, and and talked to her about transferring credits. She was very enthusiastic about it and told me that it looked awesome - and then told me to talk to someone in the transferring office. So then I went to talk to that lady who I ended up not even talking to at all; I just handed in my Disney folder to the receptionist, and she talked to the transfer lady. The gave me the number of the Dean of Humanities, to whom I talked after talking to his receptionist-person. He was extraordinarily discouraging. Even the receptionist at Admissions had said that the program looks like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and that it'd be amazing to do. The Dean didn't listen to what the Internship was in all, he just told me that it wasn't in my best interest to do any internship that was not sponsored by the college. And then I think he told me that he told me that the college doesn't do internships anymore... but that can't be right because that would contradict what he said before. Or what I thought he said. I'm not really sure what he said - he was talking so fast, and he was rather scary actually. I had been scared of my guidance counselor, but I am now much more scared of the Dean.
I don't even really care about getting credits. I'll be getting Life Experience out of the whole thing (assuming I'd even get in, which isn't guaranteed at ALL) and if that means that I'm a little behind in my schooling, then oh well. I did learn something useful though - I can see if I can test out of all the math classes I need to take. I could do that now, but I think it would be a good idea to take my pre-algebra class before I try to test out of anything. but if I test as soon as my pre-algebra class is over maybe I'll get out of the next 2 or 3 classes. That'd be cool. :) And if I don't.... oh well.
I'm going to go work on revising my paper now.
