UGH! Can I just say that transfer students at Stony Brook get shafted and f**ked over. First off, I didn't find out that I was even IN until August! Then they had me register for classes at orientation, when there's nothing left. So BASICALLY, my advisor said
you're going to take this this and this three classes which I didn't have any interest in. I have always had a 4.0 GPA, I'm extremely neurotic when it comes to school and grades. I dropped one of my classes because I didn't want it to effect my grades, and NOW I find out I'm failing my geo class. And it's not like I don't study, I actually studied with flash cards and everything for our first big test, but apparently that's not enough. I studied in other classes, I studied at work, and I thought I did really well on the test, but NO I failed it! And it's all because of stupid Stony Brook not telling me that I was into the school until later, when all the classes I'm interested in are gone. So it's almost like I'm being forced into failing. I don't know what I can do to get my grade up..
I'm going to transfer again I think. This will be my third time transferring and fourth school in three years. I transferred from New Paltz to AMDA because I needed more training for my career. Once I graduated from AMDA (which doesn't give you a degree by the way) I came to Stony Brook because I heard they had an amazing theatre program (which doesn't even do any productions!!!!) and because I had moved in with my boyfriend out on Long Island. OH! I also found out when I transferred to Stony Brook that AMDA was unaccredited, so it's like I'm in my sophomore year of college at age 21. F**king awesome. My old roommate from AMDA is going to The New School and apparently they took all her credits from AMDA and she'll be graduating in the spring.
I think I need to move back to the city. Long Island is just too much for me, and I'm sorry but Stony Brook is bullsh*t.
