dropped??

OMG, I'm in the computer lab right now at SJCC. I went up here to work on my Word junk....but...

I'VE BEEN DROPPED FROM MICROSOFT WORD!!!

I don't know whether to be relieved or annoyed.

Apparently they dropped me Nov. 21..but I'd turned in my work on the first Word chapter on like, Nov. 22?

ARGH!

I'm thinking they dropped me because I hadn't turned in a scrap of work for this class before Nov. 22. I had no idea this was going to happen! This is nowhere on the course syllabus. The instructor, Sharon Youngblood, hadn't warned me about this. I remember telling her near the end of October that the bookstore still didn't have my Microsoft Word lvl2 textbook. After sending an e-mail to someone who might have a handle on the book situation, she assured me that the book would be coming in soon (it had been placed on back order). I received my textbook in the 1st-2nd week of November.

Hmmm. I actually have mixed feelings on being dropped. I mean, I've been slightly stressing out trying to figure out how to cram eight Microsoft Word chapters into three weeks. I even completed two Excel chapters in one week (the instructors allot us 2 weeks to finish a chapter), anticipating that I would have to really rush through Microsoft Word in December. I finished the reeeaaallly long Chapter 1 too. I want to get my expert's certifications in both Excel and Word. lol.

But I'm dropped...so that means I don't have to rush like crazy and I can concentrate on my other classes. I can study more thoroughly for the Excel midterms/final (I'm taking them all at once, heheheheh). I don't have to keep going back to the computer lab. I don't have to come home at 9-10 on comp-lab nights. Mmmm, sounds good.

But...I'm dropped! :(

The Word instructor isn't here today, so maybe I'll talk to her tomorrow about it.




Hmm....so my English prof e-mailed me again about my enrollment status in English. Apparently I'm still not in the class officially...

Hi Jessica,
I just checked the official roster on MyWeb again and find that A&R still has not officially enrolled you, despite Marty's email.

I think you need to follow up with the counselor who cleared you for 1C prereqs and ask him to notify A&R of his approval, so that you can enroll and receive credit for this class. Let me know if you run into any difficulties.

best,

Andrea Wang
Instructor, Language Arts Division/English
