Flash is like Cilantro

Via mamamusings.net . . . .

Trying to focus on worthwhile and rewarding things after finding out there was a much snafu in our degree program that affected numerous students - all because someone knew there was a "way around" a hard and fast rule issued by the state but didn't let anyone else know in another part of the college. We only discovered it when they switched a major back to an old program we didn't think was available anymore because we knew that this other campus official would not have done something like this without telling us . . . . live and learn!!!! It's also some more insight into my black/white nature/interpretation of the world and that sometimes the bureacracies that appear to be the most black/white also allow the most 'exceptions to the rule' - they just don't tell you about them . .. and then when you find out it's too late. Not a great end to the semester but I will just keep doing what one of my graduates who is now a veteran teacher does . . .and it's the only way to survive in this world . .. focus on the students (and the colleagues that you enjoy as people!)
