I just finished the last exam of the semester, but rather than being relieved I am seriously pissed off. I'm not going to divulge the details of the situation just yet, but for now I'll just say that once again I'm going head-to-head with the administration over my academic future. The full story will show up here eventually, but presently I've got to see some people who I hope will be able to help me out of what I feel is an unjust situation. As if I had any remaining doubt, coming back to Rutgers to try and finish my degree was a huge mistake.

I am sure there are many of us wishing all goes well, myself included. I was a "non-traditional" student as well, it was not easy sometimes dealing with the system, but I got through it with that all important scrap of paper eventually.
Good Luck!!

It is unlikely that any professor, or any administrator, is as concerned that you succeed as much as you are. There are people who will help, but you have to count on yourself to understand what is going on and figure out how to deal with it. Playing the victim isn't going to get you anywhere but the trash heap. You are a very smart guy. Take charge of your life and make things happen for you.

Good luck! It's good to see you outraged about whatever it is. That means you've got energy and fight in you. Victimizers always need to be stood up to.
