So I've not let myself post anything for quite some time, mostly because it doesn't fit onto my "best use of time" list. Nonetheless, I got an email this morning from my academic adviser that made my day; a true sign that I need to get out of here. Please read below.
This e-mail is being sent to notify you that a hold has been placed on your records, due to the high number of credit hours you have accumulated at the university. This hold is in accordance with the timely graduation initiative our office has developed and prevents you from registering for classes Winter 2010.
In order to have this hold removed, please contact the FHSS advisement center at 801.422.3541 to schedule a time to meet with me as soon as possible so that we can develop a graduation plan that helps you make the most of the remaining time you have at BYU. In this appointment we can discuss how the high number of credit hours you have accumulated are distributed (i.e. transfer credit, A.P. credit), your academic and career goals, and ways that the advisement center can help you achieve your aspirations.
You should bring a preliminary schedule of courses you plan to take each semester to this appointment and be prepared to fill out a graduation application at that time as well (please bring your BYU ID card). Once an approved graduation plan is in place and your application for graduation is filled out, I will be able to lift the hold and you will be able to register for Winter 2010 courses.
If you have met with me in regards to this already, we have developed an approved graduation plan, and you have applied for graduation, then please remind me of the date we met, and upon verification of this I will remove your records hold. If not, I look forward to meeting with you in the near future and to assisting you with developing a graduation plan that considers your needs, and helps you achieve a timely graduation from BYU.
I'm not entirely sure why I found it so funny, but I did. The first paragraph is particularly a delight. Maybe I found it funny because not even a month ago, I met with my adviser (who sent the email) and he knows I'm graduating, blah blah blah, not to mention that I've already applied for December graduation. Shouldn't they, of all people, know this? hmmm. Even so, I guess if I randomly decided "hmmm, I think I'll continue my existence in the bubble" I couldn't, because I have a hold. Sad, sad, sad day
