On A Sidewalk to Nowhere

A Head Full of Doubt and a Road Full of Promise

Screwed

My graduation date has been pushed back three times at this point.
I was originally supposed to graduate in December 2011.
Then Chatt Tech changed from quarters to semesters, and my grad date got pushed back to May 2012.
Now, I can only get into one of the FOUR classes I need for fall, and I have been told multiple times that nothing can be done about it.
So now, I will graduate in December 2012, at the earliest.
I am so freaking pissed, and so fed up with this school.
I’m legitimately looking into other open enrollment/online options at this point, because I CANNOT be in college for 10 years. And I’m coming up on half that time at this point.

Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?

Perhaps this is because I was raised in the south, where boys and men are obligated to be gentlemen, but I am really perturbed when men are rude and/or inconsiderate to me at work. It makes me uncomfortable when I am hit on, when men say inappropriate things to me, or when the first words out of someone’s mouth is a lengthy diatribe of curse words. On more than one occasion, I have had the desire to say, “do you speak to your mother that way?”

I really like my job, and I like dealing with customers. But it makes me incredibly unhappy, and frankly, it makes me feel violated when men view a young woman working at the front desk of a hotel alone as an opportunity to be rude, coarse, barbaric, or disgusting. And then, once I’m over the feeling violated, it makes me angry.

I have to be here. I am working so I can pay my bills, and pay for my tuition. I have to talk to you, and yes, I have to be nice. But that does not give anyone, male or female, the right to treat me badly.
