Dr. Delucchi is faaaaaaar from my favorite person. It's like she's doing whatever she possibly can to screw me over and keep me from graduating. It's absurd. First there was the whole accusing me of plagarism thing back freshman year, and I've managed to avoid any of her classes since then.
Well, I had to have her for Research Seminar last fall. When I registered for the class, the time was listed as TBA. When it finally was announced, she decided to schedule it during when I already had a class.
So, I go to her and ask her what I should do. She tells me that I can do it independently. Then she was gone the next time I was supposed to meet with her. And never responded to the e-mail I sent her afterward.
A couple weeks later, I get 2 articles in my mailbox, telling me to read them for the next class period. At the time I was getting all my one-act stuff ready, and was really confused b/c she KNEW that I couldn't be at class.
The next thing I know, I have a notice in my mailbox, telling me I've been withdrawn from the class.
Gee, thanks for all the advance warning.
Granted, I probably should have followed up after getting the articles.
But she didn't follow up either. And then boots me from a class she knows damn well I need to graduate, without any warning.
So, I go talk to her again, and am probably a bit harder on myself than I deserved. She told me that I could take the class in the spring, at the same time as my research project, and that it would be difficult, but possible. The class was still scheduled to meet during one of my classes.
Well, its the next semester, and I contact her, asking to get started and such.
And she sends me this e-mail that says simply that another teacher is teaching the class and that I should talk to them.
Gee, thanks for all your fucking support, bitch. God, the e-mail wasn't even remotely friendly. Here I am, trying to be nice, and friendly, and I get the coldest e-mail imaginable from this woman. Absolutely nothing answered at all. Hell, I don't know if I'm still supposed to talk to Delucchi about my project, or do it all through Murch-Shafer now, as she's the one teaching research seminar this semester.
I hope it is Murch-Shafer because she's MUCH more pleasent, and at least isn't overtly hostile to me.
But as my luck usually runs, it'll still be Delucchi who runs the research, and she'll probably drop me from that for not starting my project within the first few weeks, which I can't b/c I have to do the seminar stuff first. It's like she orchestrated this whole fiasco just to screw me over, and it pisses me off and frustrates me so much I can hardly see straight.
But I just finished e-mailing Dr. Murch-Shafer about the situation, so I can't really do much else till I hear back from her. And, WOW, it was hard to type that e-mail and bitch about Dr. Delucchi. The knowledge that it was counter-productive was the only thing restraining me.
UGH
But yeah, if anyone has any ideas on a simple, fast research project I could carry out, let me know. I'm open to ideas. I need them badly, and fast.
Now, back to seeing what else this college can throw in my face to keep me from graduating . . .
