OK, so I decided I needed to do something, so I went to the local community college and tried to sign up for classes. I went into the counseling office, and waited my turn. When I got to the counter, told the woman behind the desk that I wanted to go back to school, had chosen the classes I wanted, and needed to know what I had to do to get into them?
She looked at the classes I wanted, and told me, "You don't want to take math, take some English classes."
Hello?
Of course, couldn't sign up for classes anyway, because of that math class. There's a prerequisite for it, and I need my transcripts before I can even challenge the prerequisite. And it's a class I've already taken and passed. I explained that classes had already started, that transcripts would not be available until too late to add the class, and could I get a temporary waiver? Just so that I could get the class this semester? No one would offer any way for me to take the class. Although two of them did helpfully suggest that I not take Math at all. But, you know, take some English, or History classes instead.
ARGH!
{sigh}
I guess math is too hard for women. And there's no need for any way to help people in my situation, because they just shouldn't want to take the class anyway.
(By the way, I could take the prerequisite, except that I want to take this class as a refresher. I took it before. If I could find my transcripts, I could take the class for which this is a prerequisite.)
So, I'm frustrated tonight. How are all of you?
