I went to see my advisor yesterday, but history repeated itself. Like the last time I had gone to see her, she had called in sick. But this time, another lady was willing to see me. I asked about graduation. My GPA is 2.59 (I'm sacrificing my pride here). I was told by someone you have to have a 2.0 to graduate. But I was also told when my transcript was reviewed that my GPA was too low. Um, that's a clear discrepancy there. She tried calling my former advisor in Pocatello, but she's no longer with the university. And the secretary was out to lunch. So the lady made a new appt. for me with my advisor, knowing Susan would eventually figure it out. In all honesty it sounds like I should graduate this semester if this glitch can be resolved. If so, then I'm outta here ASAP.
Today we had another guest speaker. But once he started talking he had the respect and attention of the class. He was from the Populations Institute. As one student said, "What does someone on population have to do with women's issues?" As another said, "Why does she always bring men in to talk on women's issues?" Well he tied the two together with education. The population boost occurs in the poor and undeveloped countries, where illiteracy and lack of education is high. He said the more educated a woman is, the better she is able to help economically while having fewer pregnancies than her uneducated sister. Stats backed him up. He also remarked abortion is not the solution in "family planning." I really admire that. It's not often an official that mingles with heads of state advocates that view. That was awesome.
Welp, it's official. Mike's in the Army now. He has dog tags. Arf, arf!! LOL
