Never in my life have I ever been so insulted. Seriously, I thought guidance counselors were supposed to help students. I was totally wrong.
Today, I went off to visit my guidance counselor because for some odd reason, I wasn't appearing on the attendance list for my six hour class (along with 2 other girls). So we walked down to the guidance office and requested the see the head of the guidance counselors. We waited for a bit due to the fact she wasn't in. As she appeared we headed into this office for a little talk with her.
Okay, the head of the guidance counselors is also my counselor so I was as straight forward with our request as possible while still being polite. It came down to this: Our schedules had changed and no one had told us a thing. This, mind you, was rather frustrating concerning the fact
we were getting absences for a class we didn't know we were supposed to be in since they didn't give us our new schedules (if a schedule is changed, Data Processing or our Guidance Counselors are supposed to call us down to get them or send someone to give it to us, which they didn't do either). And so we (mainly me) voiced our concerns on this because not only are getting absences for a class we didn't know we were in, someone had decided our schedules were to be changed without our consent and this was a big blow to our GPA.
Finally, she gave us an explanation saying that Data Processing (the people who take care of the records in my school) had changed our schedules and were responsible for letting us know. Although we were not that happy with this reason, my friend and I had requested to see this counselor for schedule changes more than once and neither of us got called down. I told her this is the nicest way possible (since I was SO frustrated over the schedule being changed and me not knowing a thing) to which
SHE replied "Well aren't you a pleasant person. Do you always talk to adults like this?" in a
VERY sarcastic tone.
What the fuck? I, for one, was not in any way being a smartass. I was being a nice, intelligent person asking a simple question as to why I wasn't called down to talk to my counselor because my schedule is filled with one semester classes in the same semester or classes I simply I do not need. Why am I in Sociology when I need American Government and Economics (both history classes that are one semester)? This is seriously what the fuck. I asked her why I wasn't in that class and her response:
"Because it didn't fit into your schedule."
OKAY WHAT THE FLYING FUCK? HOW CAN IT NOT FIT INTO MY DAMN SCHEDULE?!? CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I DON'T NEED DAMN SOCIOLOGY?!?! I NEED FREAKING AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS TO GRADUATE! HOW THE HELL DOES IT NOT FIT IN? THE BEST WAY TO FIX IS THIS DAMN SCHEDULE IS TAKING ME OUT OF SOCIOLOGY AND GET ME INTO ONE OF THOSE CLASSES! OKAY? GET IT? GOT IT? GOOD!
Oh man, I seriously cannot believe this bullshit. I can fix this schedule up so well without her help it's not even funny. And then she claims I can't get my schedule fixed because it's too late. Bitch, it's too late because
YOU didn't fucking call me down for a conversation even if it was to tell me "Your schedule cannot be changed." Now I have to take fucking American Government AND Economics next semester at the same time. And she couldn't even give me a better excuse as to why my schedule got changed.
GUIDANCE COUNSELORS FAIL!

That's nuts. >.< It's her job to, you know, help you out, and it's not your fault she's not doing her job right. I think you have every right to be pissed.
