BeYOTCH!!!
B4 i start on the story, here some info on wat i've been up to the past few days. Been contemplating on my majors, and finally made up my mind. Now u gotta admit that this is really a rare occasion. Adrian has set the direction he wans in his studies... hmm.. now how many times do u ever see that... 1st time in the past 23yrs???
Anw, I've decided that I wanna do a triple major, namely:
1. Financial Accting(with CPA accreditation)
2. Finance(Corporate)
3. Information Management
However, in order to do that, I realised after much planning, that i had to overload in the coming sem. So I had to walk down to the office to ask.. and i din carry much hope, coz my avg for this sem is a mere 62%, below the 65% criteria for overload...
& so the story begins when i stepped into the office. The moment when my turn came, I knew it wasnt good coz I was being served by this Indian lady. Its been said that she isnt the warm and frnly type.
So I gave her my student no, she checked in on the sys, and
Bloody Indian Lady(BIL):"NO, its below 65%, we cant let u overload."
ME:"But I've juz decided on my majors, and I need to overload this coming sem"
BIL:"NO, its 62%, below the 65% requirement, we cant let u overlaod"
ME:"But its juz 3%, and I did much better last sem, couldnt my case be given some consideration?
BIL:"NO, we only wanna see the previous sem's results. We dun care wat results u got in other sem, be it 2yrs ago or 3yrs ago, its not relavant"
ME(in my head):"narbay, u noe wats last sem, thats juz half a yr ago u @#($%&@#%(&"
ME:"its juz half a yr ago, well, then could i at least speak to Paul about it?"
BIL:"NO, I tell u that Paul will say the same thing. Dun waste his time, he's very busy these days."
ME:"well, if i cant overload, is there any way for me to do my 3rd major?"
BIL:"u figure it out urself. after u fulfill all ur required pts, u'll grad and we'll kick outta the sch even if u do 1 more unit for the major."
Paul Leod is my faculty dean, and walks out at this moment
BIL(rather loudly):"Paul! this young man here only got 62% and wanna overload."
Paul(smiles):"well, I cant let u do it this sem, perhaps u could consider it other sems when ur results improve"
I'm obviously very disappointted, and fucking pissed by this bloody indian, who seems to wanna throw more of her I'm-the-big-shot-here attitude
BIL:"See! There you go, I told you so."
ME:"sighs.. ok, thanks..."
BIL:"Nex!"
@(%&@$(&# Thru out the time, she din even smile abit. & gave me the wadda-hell-u-wan look, like as if I'm a vermin. & she had to shout, like as if I like my 62% to be told to the whole world. There was lotsa pple there too... but there wasnt much embarrassment, coz how much of that can u feel when her bloody attitude was so overwhelmingly suffocating. KNNBCC. No offense to indians, but really cant stand this BEYOTCH!!!
All the words so used are so hostile.... NARBAY!!!! argh!!!!!

Hey bro,
The b@stards at the business faculty have an inferiority complex - they always think they have the stupidest students who can't take more than 4 units. Last time they didn't want me to take 6 then 5 units either, and sort of ridiculed me as well! I ended up taking that many units only becos half of the units are from CS so they lan lan.. Hehe it felt like a victory over the mean faculty staff.
A successful university (or faculty rather) should train its students to plan for themselves and be responsible for their own choices. How do they do that if they decide everything for students with simplistic, numerical filters? It's a brutal irony that as much as they teach their students not to be bound by stubborn rules and not to view every case the same way, they themselves are.
The 65% limit somehow protects the student in some way. But, every student might fail an exam. The units are also definitely different, they are definitely not in the position to judge that "you're too likely to fail an overloaded unit" solely based on the fact that you got 62% in whatever units you took last semester.
And, by all means, keeping student information confidential is a common sense. Yelling it out like a bitch doesn't sound acceptable to me.
I think there are academic advisors that sort of thing in the Guild that can help students negotiate with the faculties. You might wanna give it a try if you still want to do your third major.
Nrvica.
