Thursday, November 11, 2010, I went to see a doctor at the school for my ongoing stupid stomach issues...I don't think it is some big issue but since I have a health insurance, I thought I can check with doctor for free and I did but the blood tests went free, ah! Doctor informed me that I might have thyroid because my mom has it or maybe I need to control my diet and eat more "healthy food" or maybe I need to work out on regular basis…oh well!!! I was told to take expensive blood test which I did and two days later I got an email from doctor stating nothing is wrong with my body; I just need 20 minutes walk and a lot of fiber…Duh!! Wasted my money lol
Okay, fine the fun part aside, I am getting into serious topic now. I wrote about the dilemma I was facing couple of days ago, so I went to see my other professor, no not the HB professor who had put me into this dilemma. My other professor, who is my academic advisor as well suggested that I should email my HB professor and try to speak with him and I should get things sorted out and if my HB professor doesn’t respond to me properly or refuses to give explanation for cutting my so many points, then my other professor will step in to advocate on my behalf. I truly believe that it could have worked but it might still hurt my final grades, and my grades for my quiz, which is within a week.
After giving a deep thought and after paying close attention to my NEEDS to pass this class with good grades, I planned to let go. Though I am all about social justice, but here my rights weren’t denied, I chose to step back because I am afraid I might lose my status of A grades in the class or I might get more hurt emotionally, and I can’t afford to do that to myself. I have finals coming up and I need to move on.
I am still going to write an email or a letter as anonymous or maybe with my name to the dean and will cc it to student affairs and present the issues BUT after the final results are posted online and when it is public. I will not take same professor’s class, and will continue to work towards my goals.
Life is what happens to all of us on daily basis not what is gone by!
