A hurdle too far

"We would never have marched so far, to be food for the crows"

Sting -- Something the boy said

So, something came up today that may put my entire shot at graduating in jeopardy. I was told by my academic adviser that I am in need of a whole host of classes, including something called upper division themes. This is something I heard about for the first time today, and all my other counselors neglected to tell me about.

Financial aid refuses to fund me beyond Spring 11' so unless they change their minds I am as good as done. No sense in hanging on if I have no chance of graduating.

Such a miserable way to end up. Lost in the whirlwind of this system that seems to favor the young and elite.
