Things are not looking good on the graduation front.

I wrote to the program director to act pitiful and ask if maybe they really were offering Portfolio next semester, or if I could possibly make up for it with an independent study.

She hasn't written back, but I spoke to one of my classmates today who is in the exact same boat. She says she talked to the other program director, asking the same questions I did, and he basically told her she was crazy. Apparently they never offer Portfolio in the fall, and they never let you replace it with another course.

At this point I'd like to interject that if a school only offers a course once in a while, they really should make it clear when that while is. I looked in the paper catalog and online, but nowhere could I find a listing of the course rotation. How do they expect us students to make good long-term choices if we have to wing it every semester?

Looks like I'm gonna be resting on my laurels for a few months. I think I can afford one class in the interim. Designer's Survival Guide looks useful. I'm not sure if it's worth paying 2000$ for stuff that I can learn the hard way (but for free) in the School of the Real World, but I guess I have all summer to change my mind.

I remember last year, when I was thinking of deliberately taking an extra semester of classes. I guess I got what I wanted--It's just a pity I don't want it any more.
