Worse than being attacked by millions of fuzzies....

So I just got a really great email about summer sessions and how they are a great way to take "hard to get" classes and get a head start on graduation. I also got this wonderful email just as I'm fuming about all the money I don't have to waste on summer sessions and an extra year at beautiful UC Davis because I can't get into classes I need for my major during the REGULAR school year. You bet I sent those "Summer Sessions" people some angry words. "Yes," I said, "please take all that extra money I have to burn". Waitlisted is now the official story of my life, as well as my new name on the roster. It's such an exciting adventure to keep taking filler classes each quarter as I wait and don't get into the classes I thought I was paying for. This is especially great if you like the "chase"...chasing down all of those lab sections you no longer realize the need to go pee. Never mind that we're all paying the same amount of tuition, some more than others because the school thinks those children are in a financial bracket that pays for itself. I ask the school to please not take into consideration that my parents are also paying for my brother to attend an institute of higher learning and that our reported total income is not the money my parents have saved to put me through school. So here I am. On the waitlist again. Another quarter goes by as this BioSci student takes English and Humanities (I have probably 1 general ed class left to complete). Another quarter goes by full tuition covered by none other than my parents....but my adviser said I can take summer school and it's perfectly OK to need more than four years. Thank-god she's paying for all those extra quarters!!! I mean when she first suggested that I was just about to sh...wait...what do you mean she's not paying for anything?
