[QUOTE="Acidic, post: 1958222, member: 60781"] Dear Browneyes68, Allow me to clarify and demonstrate to you how conspiracies happen. In other words, how limited information / people who look for connections that aren't there hurt one's argument and status among scholars. But first please allow me to, "Sniff Sniff" 1. Just because I'm a SENIOR has nothing to do with prior scheduling classes to an extent. Some classes needed for my degree are only offered during certain semesters and times. Thus work hours conflict with some of my morning classes. 2. I would like to also note that even though I have loans and scholarships for school they do not pay for all my classes completely. So whatever amount that is not paid off is what comes out of my pocket. What this means is that by the time I do pay off the rest of my balance. The majority of students have [U][B]already[/B][/U] signed up for classes for next semester so I do not get first pick nor do I get them in advance. This leaves me with a limited pool of classes to pick from throughout winter and summer breaks to make the semester bearable. "Sniff Sniff" 3. Allow me to rephrase this for you so it makes more sense, "All my troubles began when I [U]returned[/U] to University after [U]summer break"[/U]. Get it now? 4. I am a Pre-med student. Grades are [U]VERY[/U] important for medical school thus having as much time to study for exams is a must. I don't know what your degree or goals are in life so I will refrain from comparing. Also, the reason why there were no problems with schedule conflicts throughout the year is either 1. lack of sleep throughout the semester and 2. my full-time supervisor would give me days off prior to exams in my hard core science/math classes. This allowed me to get a full nights rest before exams and extra study time that I would not otherwise get. A condition that was agreed upon between us two in order for me to continue working at UPS. Hopefully, now you can see the reason behind the week off. 5. I have a right to my own opinion and I stick by it regarding employee days off request. I have worked from hospitals all the way to dead-end customer service related jobs and even they had professional and organized employee days request off. 6. This irritated me the most. The statement that I am not holding my end of the bargain. Unless you are a pre-med student / science or math background major you will never understand the work and time students like myself put into our studies. I'm not saying that my degree is any more important than the next but I take great pride in my education and my field of study. 7. The point of this whole thread was to find a way to get the needed time for exams during peak season. However, I had since found my own way with the help of others who posted on this thread. That being said, Thank you for everyones input. In closing, humans have five sense maybe you should try the others out as smells can be distorted. [/QUOTE]
