Ruined It For Me

It amazes me that one person, one brief encounter (just 5 minutes), can ruin a wonderful long experience. Before I rant let me give you a little history.
I went to Weber State right out of high school. It was not my first choice, but they gave me the best scholarship so I went. I was here for two years and hated pretty much every minute of it, but then I was not the typical collegiate. So I got my A.S. in Gen. Ed. and left to go to SLCC to start my education in Architecture. I loved SLCC it was wonderful...I did 1 3/4 years there and got an A.S in Architectural Technology. I then applied to the U of U Architecture Dept, but I didn't get in. So I went back to Weber for a year to take some graphic design classes (thinking they would help me with architecture and it was the cheapest way to stay in school), and I fell in love with graphics and the art dept. but I was set on architecture so after a year I applied to the U again and got in. I didn't even last a whole semester at the U. I dropped out and decided to go back to Weber in Vis Comm. And this is where I have been ever since.
I have really enjoyed my time here. But graduation is getting close and I am prepared...I know I am not prepared, and I know that is was bad planning on my part. So I went to talk to an advisor about it. In the end he let me change my catalog year so I can graduate next year, but not before making me feel horrible about it. He actually said to me we don't want to keep you around...so now because of administration I feel horrible about being at Weber. If there was another school I could transfer to and still graduate in a year, I would. That is how bad I feel, and I worried that my whole experience is going to be tainted by it now. I guess I was just always meant to not like Weber. (audioblogger was discontinued, and I do have have back ups of my tracks, so unfortunately there is nothing for anyone to listen to anymore)
