Update on my Degree

Well after dealing with the retarded bureaucracy at Wayne State, I'm finally done. Not without problems but I'm done. If you read my previous post you know the problem I had obtaining my degree, if you have not read it shame on you, recap here first, then read the rest.
Well back in Feb. I tried to get a class waived and boy was that fun, my student adviser sat on my HS transcripts for six months doing nothing, when I applied for my degree I find that out. So I went to the Advising center the following day, and wanted to talk to someone about waiving the class, I got there at 8:30 in the morning, which by the way sucks to go to Wayne State that early. I go to ask the secretary/student aide and asked him if I could see an adviser told him my major, and my problem he told me I needed my transcripts, I had not received the extra transcript from the Archdiocese of Detroit Archives yet.

So I go to the Business school who have a copy of my transcripts, and ask for a copy of MY records, and was told they're not sure if they could do that. WTF they are my damn transcripts, that I paid to be sent to the school, and was told at 8:40 am to wait to talk to an adviser, they don't come in til 9. Thanks, so I'm sitting their waiting, practically twiddling my thumbs, because there is nothing better to do, and advising the other students to run away from the advisers, and figure out what to do on your own, because they are completely pointless. So the first adviser comes in about 9:10 and, overhear the Secretary telling her they can't find my records in their filing system. AWESOME, so now you have completely screwed me over you lazy bastards. So the adviser looks for them, and finds them in the graduation pile, which they told me I could not do yet. So walking to her office I tell her I only need a copy of my H.S. transcripts, I am told to come into her office to talk, now if this was a porn, it might have been fun, but I had to wake up early on my only sleep in day of the week to come here dammit. So in her office she asks me what I wanted, and I tell here again that I only want a copy of my H.S. transcripts. She says that she can do that since they technically are mine, NO SHIT Sherlock thats why I'm here. Then she asks me why I and have to explain the same story again. She looks at me and says who did you talk to because we talked to Mrs. something, and they said they couldn't do it. So far I have talked to whover you guys gave me the number to, and was told that you have absolutely no idea what the hell you are doing, and I agreed.

I finally get a copy and go back to the advising center talk to the same secretary for the 4th time in two damn days, tell him my story again, and my major, and he then proceeds to tell me that they do not help business school students, I tell him that I know how to read the signs posted everywhere, but I was told to come here by the business school. The older possibly a secretary sitting in the back overheard my conversation, and told me to come to her, I have to once again explain the whole ordeal to a new person, show her the letter I got from the business school, and she says she will get someone who can help me. About 5 mins later she brings over a person and tells me to tell her my story, again. She then asks me if I can get a course catalog from my school, I tell her that would be hard since my school closed a few years ago, and they don't have these anymore. She ten asks if I can get a course description from the school, and I re-explained that the school closed, and that means that they don't have these records there anymore.

Now this is where I tell her that this has happened to other students including my sister, and that the only thing I can get is a copy of a letter my old guidance counselor wrote, explaining that it was actually two semesters of speech. She says to bring it, so I call Kasia on the way out, and she says that she'll look for it. Fast forward about a week or two, I go back to the advising center, and ask to talk to Mrs. Whatever, because I was told I need no appointment to come see her again, being 9 am and me being there I hoped to get this finally done, but was told they were in a meeting till 11am, yes all guidance counselors, for Wayne State, had decided to screw and shun the students for 2.5 hours that morning. SO, I do what I always do when I'm bored, I go online and find weird, and sometimes funny things (you should know this by now, if you have seen/read any parts of my blog). She comes in about 11, and talks to a friend for like 10 minutes at the door, as I am politely waiting, thankfully she remembers me and my problem, so there is no need to go through the whole story again. I bombard her with multiple letters, from my old school, my sister and WSU, she looks confused, and says she will copy them take care of the problem and let my adviser know that I can get my degree.

I did not hear anyting from my adviser for quite some time, and email her last week, I kept checking online, and read degree pending, no response from my adviser yet. 4 days after the email I get this response:
HI Konrad,
We will forward your info over to the Records dept. at the end of the
W08 semester, they will then mail the diploma.
Hope this helps

Why yes it does because I need my degree to apply to Grad school, and I check online and says degree awarded, So I'm done with you, then realize crap I'm coming back to you for Grad School. WSU is a new circle of Hell, if Dante could write a new book it would be set at the campus offices of WSU.
