When I showed up to class on Monday, there wasn’t professor. We waited 45 minutes (the 3 of us) and finally went to Admissions, which sent us to the Dean of Engineering + Mathematics. She told us she would call us on Tuesday and let us know what was going to happen. Tuesday morning I went up to the college and asked if she knew anything yet, she said, told me that for sure we’d have a class or independent study. When I left I doubled check with her and she told me, she would call me later in the day.
I didn’t get a phone call on Tuesday. So I went up to the college in the morning to switch classes to Red Hat Linux Essentials.
Today (Wednesday) I get home from high school and I get a message telling me to come in because the class is go! So now the class is going on with one of the best professors, without me, and only 2 other students!!!
Why didn’t I just wait until the end of the day Wednesday? Because the college class counts as both high school and college credit and I didn’t want to get behind. I was afraid that I would not be able to make up the extra work due having to mange all my high school classes. In addition one of the other Professors told me that he was highly surprised that the class was going on and that it wasn’t canceled. Finally when we talked to the dean she suggested that the class might be independent study, which was something I did not feel comfortable with.
I guess I’m just a bit ticked because the dean was unable to call me when she say she would and it resulted that I lost out on a very small sized class with a really good professor.
However, on the bright side it might be better. I hopefully be able to get Cisco and Red Hat certified after the spring semester. If things go as planned I should be able to take Cisco 3 + 4 in the spring along with the next Red Hat class.
So I went to Lakeland today and I was told that the CNET class would still go on one way or another or another and that I would get a phone call tonight. Well it is almost 8:00 and I haven’t received any phone call.
I just hope they sort this out soon because I’m running out of time!!!
Well I want to Lakeland for my first class today, Cisco Networking 1300. The other two students in the class showed up, however there was no Professor! After waiting 45 minutes for him to show up we finally went admissions. They sent us back to speak to a lady in the Engineering building who took our names and told us we would receive a call tomorrow and we would find out what’s going to happen to the class.
This is the only class the professor is scheduled to teach this semester and considering there is only 3 students in the class I don’t think it’ll go off. Another professor told us that he was surprised that didn’t cancel the class and the never hold a class with just three students. :(
If the class does not go through I am hoping I can switch my speech class to Mon. + Wed. and then take a Red Hat class on Tuesdays. I emailed the Speech Professor to see if he would issue and override so I can join the full class. I also emailed the Red Hat Professor to see if I needed the prerequisite (Intro. to Personal Computers). I am really hoping the the Cisco class goes through but I know that is not very likely.
The summer has finally wrapped up and I am back in school. I got my laptop back in about a weeks time and it appears that they replaced the motherboard. I finished both summer reading books, The Life of Pi and The Alchemist. They were both decent books and pretty easy to read.
Last week I went to the Poison concert which was absolutely amazing! It was even better because I went with a few good friends.
My classes at Lakeland start next week. I am taking CNET 1300 + 1400 along with a Speech course. The speech class is Tue + Thurs 4:00-5:15 and the Cisco classes are 5:15 – 8:00 on Mon. + Wed.
Now hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with this blog a little better now!
