Smart people and school usually linked right? Wrong.

People go to school, college in this example, to become more educated, right?
To master a subject, to have something to go into as a career.
Well, what I would like to know is why are the employees at schools so stupid then??!??
Of course not all of them are idiots that don't know how to do their job, but you get my point.

College Experience #1: Getting the school my English 1 records.

I took AP Eng in High School and passed the exam so I got out of Freshman English 1. I had the records sent directly to the school AND when I came in to register for classes, I brought a copy of my records and showed them to an employee who said it was all taken care of.

Then, when I go to register with a counselor she says she doesn't see the records in the computer and goes to talk to the lady I showed my paper to. She comes back says it is all good and I leave.

Last Friday, I get a call. Hi this is the counselor from SFCC, could you bring your records of your English One Class in on Monday??

Like are you kidding me?? She made a copy this Monday. I HOPE that's the last of that, considering I'm taking English 2 now.

College Experience #2: Getting a Scholarship.
I was the Top Ten percent in High School so I got a scholarship for $400 per term for books.
Once again, when I went to register I saw a Dean and we searched through the papers for a while and she finally found the records and said it was all taken care of.

This week I noticed it wasn't in my account. I go to the Dean again, and find out that the Dean I had talked to before RETIRED and never took care of giving my information to the cashier or whoever!! UGH!! So the whole process resumed again, this Dean searched and searched for a record of SHS's Top Ten percent and she FINALLY found it. She said to check at the Cashier in 30 minutes and it would be in my account. Sure enough, it was.

Turns out the Dean who retired, couldn't take the five minutes or whatever it takes to call the cashier and have it processed! That was her job, I mean come on now!! At least this Dean has her stuff together.

These two college experiences have happened within the first week of classes my first semester...interesting, huh?

Can't wait to see what happens next.

Until next time,
