hathycolUniversity just cancelled one of my classes for next year. To be precise, they've cancelled ML1402, my Reading For Idiots course.
With the following, frankly rude, e-mail.
I apologise for this inconvenience, but Schools are at liberty to
withdraw modules with the approval of the Faculty, and this
particular module is not a core requirement for any of the current
programmes in the University so that its withdrawal does not affect
any student's degree.
Essentially - unlucky, but we don't care.
I have already got the books. I did this to save money. Now I will have to buy books for another random subject which I WON'T want to take, and indeed, won't buy the books for as I'm BLOODY SKINT AS IT IS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. My options are a random Divinity course, a random Classics course or a random Linguistics course, all of which look AS BORING AS HELL. And I, as it seems, can't fucking complain, so I'm just going to sit and stew in my room and ironically enough revise for ML1401.
I am going to look so pathetic in front of my advisor as I ask:
a. What the hell is easy and won't take up much time?
b. So, erm, do I need to get all the pre-requisites for modern history modules if I am just doing a bog-standard history degre but want to do the odd modern history module presuming it doesn't get cancelled due to lack of interest?
c. Why are you looking at me funny?
I get angry at the university an awful lot, but today is particularly taking the cake. And I have no food in that I have a particular desire to eat. So fuck it, I'm going out to buy potatoes which I will smother is gravy and eat in the form of comfort food and spend BOOK MONEY on FOOD.
(And before anyone suggests it, I don't want to take IT for Idiots because it takes up too much time.)
