Transfer Drama

I knew there would be a problem..I just knew it. My transfer credit allocation is all messed up. I received my letter from UMASS today, explaining which classes I have taken at CCCC can be applied to my graduation requirements for my BA. They have completely ignored the fact that I am currently enrolled in HIS 150, Vietnam: America's Longest War. If I sit through the most depressing class offered at CCCC for no reason, I am going to be royally pissed. Also, they have accepted my Race, Class, and Gender class contingent upon my completion with a C- or better. This is all fine and dandy, but the paper says it transfers in as an elective. I don't need an elective, I need a social sciences requirement. I think I can argue my way out of all of this, but I need someone to pick up the phone first. I left a message...a pleasant message...because its always nice to start off pleasant. Every single time I have attempted to attend college, people behind the scenes screw with my credits. Most of my basic classes went thru fine, and I have 28 free electives which means nothing except that I took a class at CCCC that is equivilent to one at UMASS not applicable to a class necessary for my graduation. So..do you get my drift? The basis for my frustration stems from the fact that I spent many hours on the phone with UMASS this summer..specifically making sure that the classes I am enrolled in this semester would transfer. Now I am in too far to get my money back, and a withdrawal would put a big W on my transcript. Ugh...I am so sick of working hard at something that is starting to feel like a giant waste of time and money. Maybe my father is right..maybe I should just marry a rich man.
