non-graduate

Apparently today was the last day [of two] to pick up your cap and gown for graduation. My roommate told me to go and check to see if, considering I still am class of 2009, my name would be on the list and therefore I should pick up my cap and gown. I got half way to school before I realized I should just call the registrar’s office. After talking to a dim-witted girl who didn’t understand that despite not needing a cap and gown because I will not be walking at class of 2009 or class 0f 2010’s graduation, I now have this information. Even though I am still class of 2009, the graduation that takes place for those who finish school in December actually happens in January of 2010 which technically makes me a winter 2010 graduate (bleh) and therefore I don’t pick up my cap and gown until next spring (I guess?). Because the idiot girl I spoke with didn’t understand that I just want it to have it she told me that if I’m choosing not to walk at all next spring then I don’t need to pick one up but after repeating myself for what seemed like the 10th time she told me that I will have to wait almost a year to acquire a Quinnipiac University cap and gown…

and with that I am annoyed on this dismally rainy day. I also just received a pleading email from the Dean of the School of Communications asking me [again] to fill out the senior survey [again] so as to better inform this hell hole of a school about my college experience. Hopefully I’ll be the incredibly lucky non-graduate that receives the 250 dollar prize for actually replying to their survey.
