knife goes in, guts come out.

today at approximately 1125am I lost the very last shred of faith I had in my school.
it's really a golden moment when you realize that the administrations does not care in the least about the success of students, just so long as they get their money.

here's whats going on.
I currently have 108 completed credits, meaning I only have 4 classes left to take to complete my major in graphic design. theoretically, that's only one semester. but because of the nature of these 4 classes, I can't take them all at once. but to keep my financial aid (and insurance) I have to be enrolled in 4 classes a semester, so I decided to pursue a minor in printmaking, adding another 4 classes to my to-be-completed list, and keeping me a full time student for my remaining two semesters.
I was really excited because I absolutely love printmaking and I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to spend more time exploring things. I'm currently taking Printmaking II and an independent study course in screen printing.
so the only issue is where to work on my projects. the open lab hours this semester are severely lacking (9pm until midnight monday through thursday?) and storing projects and supplies in the printroom is like asking people to steal it. and walking a mile and a half each way with large screens and paper and supplies is impossible.
solution? Stacy and I decided to share a studio at the school where we could work whenever we want and store all of our supplies and projects. so two weeks ago when the notice went up to sign up for studio space, I noticed that it was addressed to "Fine Arts Students". I became a little concerned since I have yet to declare my minor so I emailed the woman in charge, let's refer to her as Useless from now on, to find out if this was required before signing up. she effectively snubbed me and told me that I could not get space because I'm not MAJORing in fine arts and it didn't matter if I was sharing with an Illustration major.
so I spoke with my printmaking professor and she said she would speak with Useless on my behalf.
this morning I woke up early and trudged over to the school especially for the studio space allocation meeting. when I got there I went to Useless and asked her if she had spoken with my professor and if it would be possible for Stacy and I to share a space. I was then informed that there was "absolutely no way possible" for me to have a studio and its "just too bad" that this means that I have no way to work on my minor.
I became increasingly enraged the longer I thought about it so I went to the school counselor who watched me cry for 10 minutes and stared at me like an alien. she offered no advice, but said she would speak to someone and get back to me. she just called me and told me she had spoken to some people who told her that printmakers don't need studio space anyway because ALL the work is done in the printroom. you know, no preparation or storage needed.

so.
I'm fucked.
I have absolutely no idea how I am going to complete my work.
and I want to throw up when I think about how much time and money I've wasted on this fucking school where no one cares in the least about giving students the opportunity and the resources to learn what they want to learn.
