Ah, bureaucracy!
Jul. 9th, 2007 04:28 pmToday was my day of bureaucracy-wrangling. Went rather well, but it looks like the next semester's plans are going to have to change.
Firstly, I finally went to Centrelink and handed in all the paraphernalia to get my Health Care card. I came in armed with photocopies, originals, and a wallet full of ID, and managed to get everything in first-time around. Yay me!
Secondly, I went to uni to organise my enrolment for this semester, since I'd left it horribly late and my.monash wouldn't let me do it online. That was interesting. Last year, when I sorted everything out, I was told that I only had one more subject to do after honours. Well, it turns out, he calculated wrong, and it turns out that I have three subjects to do this semester! It turns out that they had calculated for an arts only graduation, and had thrown my psych subjects into the Arts side of my degree. But, it turns out, I need them for my major, and so I have two arts subjects and one science subject to go before I can graduate.
Fortunately, this is doable. Unfortunately, it means I'm back to being a full-time student, and the plan I had to start working more this semester is unlikely to be compatible with the new plan. It's not that I'm overly worried about it, it's more an annoyance than a wailing offence.
Of course, the subjects I'd picked today turned out to be problematic, so I'll have to come in to uni again tomorrow to sort that out. I figured that if I had to do more subjects, I'd do all those subjects that I wanted to do but didn't think I had space in my degree for, but it turns out that my choices are much more limited than I'd thought. Ah well. I will sort it all out!
