Well guys,
Although I wrote the Dean and told her about my situation as an international student in the States, I am not accepted to the Nursing college for Fall 2003. I really do not know what to do now because I am here with my two children and it is against the laws of immigration to get a job off Campus and I cannot get a job on Campus. Another thing, I have to be enrolled at this University full-time at all times. I am in a deep depression just now and I am just wondering what courses I am going to take to occupy my time and to satisfy the rules of immigration while I wait for the Nursing College to accept me as an international student.
I feel so awful, I just want to scream at those people at the Nursing College and ask them where are their consciences. God forbids if I do not get in for Spring, I am certainly going to put my lawyer on the case because this is downright injustice. I do not get financial aid, I have to pay for everything here and to top it all, I have to be enrolled at this university doing courses in which I have no interest. There is a severe nurses shortage here, yet it is hard to get into the program even if one's GPA is high. What the hell do these people want me to do? Should I jump off a cliff to satisfy their consciences? or should I just give up to feed their mean spirits? I will not entertain these thoughts, I will just trod on and find someone here to speak for me because I deserve to achieve what I came here for. I have spent a whole lot to be here and I am not about to put my money to waste.
Thanks for allowing me to vent and that Nursing college is going to be tired to see my face!
Ann.
