various graduation dates
Tuesday. 2.12.13 1:36 am
So I have four credits beyond my major and minor. Which used to be one, before I nearly laughed myself off a cliff and dropped an unnecessary three-credit course, because there is NO WAY I'm staying here for an entire semester for one credit (no, there isn't another way to earn it before my "graduation date," but it's okay).

So, four. That's two physical education classes, or a language and a conversation lab, or a science and a lab, or a seminar/practicum/stage makeup class and a regular three-credit course, or two dance classes, OR A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS. Or a combination!

I think maybe ballet or more French.

Anyway. The school has this program where basically they'll train you for free to become a LGBTQ ally--essentially someone to chat with, go to about problems...someone people can trust.

And I'm all about making people feel safe at university. Going to uni is a commitment that deserves all the focus and effort possible, and feeling unsafe/anxious/unwelcome at the place where you not only study, but eat, sleep, shower...?! You'll never graduate!


And by that I mean, statistically, you will never see graduation.



--Sobering considerations aside, I'm going to training, tomorrow night, and I really hope it's everything they say it is.

Lol, thanks, but I must sound a lot more confident than I am.

I wish I'd had an opportunity to help the LGBTQ community when I was a student at university in Alabama. Not an easy place to live if you're not a white man.

that lgbtq ally thing sounds awesome. somewhere along the way i became an advocate for gay rights on campus and out in the world so i'm all for it.
