So Friggin Tired of this.

So I was accepted into the Respiratory Program this past April, which made me super excited. However, after notifying them I was more than happy to accept and that I was pregnant, they promptly decided to tell me it may not be possible for me to take part of the program. Discouraging however, I sucked it up and asked my ob/gyn when if I had the baby I'd be able to go back to school. She said 1-2 weeks; 1 for an easy labor, 2 for a hard labor.  Armed with this information I went to orientation and everything was fine. or so I thought.  Monday I received a call from my program director telling me that the school was changing its absence policy to where after 3 missed absences you were automatically dropped, medical excuse or not. I was very upset, and after crying, I contacted the administration office prepared to launch an assault on the college that was being so prejudicial to pregnant students or even students that become ill during the semester.  The administrative office said that I had been misinformed and that it was really 6 absences. Giving my director the benefit of the doubt, I emailed her the correct information so that she didn't make any other pregnant ladies in the program as distraught as she had made me. I received an awesome email from her that more or less made it sound confusing and that the administrative office was in the wrong. I did research and emailed her that I was correct, and she told me to think of each class period as a week. . . Now I don't know about you, but A class period doesn't equal a WEEK of class periods. She also went on to tell me, that after the first day they move quickly and many people find it hard to recover.  So with that logic, you better tell/ notify anyone who is prone to getting sick in the winter to go ahead and drop out since they won't be able to get caught up.  I for one, am a very motivated individual, especially when it comes to achieving personal goals, and goals I've set for my new little family. My main goal is to graduate school asap, and get a good job, so I can help provide for our family. This email proceeds to go on and say "Maybe you should just take a year off and focus on being a new mom." Ok, so I should take a year off, add another year of living barely above poverty onto my family's timeline, and try to finish school with a child that isn't used to mommy being in school and will be 2 years old during my second year of school. I'm sorry, I'd rather go ahead and get it done with, get my family into the "living comfortably" range and then maybe be able to take a year off of work to be a stay at home mom, or pop out baby number 2. I want 4 before I'm 40. Oh, and the fact, that Joshua doesn't want to go back to school because its irresponsible to him to go back to school while I'm in school. He wants to go for Industrial Maintenance so he can get a promotion at work, and again jet us into the "living comfortably" area. So I've come to the conclusion this woman, yes, its a WOMAN causing me all this grief, doesn't want me in the program either to get someone she wants IN the program or because she thinks I'm being a horrible mother by choosing to go to school. Either way, I'm going to show her I can do it, I will do it, and be fucking awesome at it, and then when I graduate, hand over all the emails she sent me trying to get me to drop out, and giving me misinformation and get her high and mighty butt fired. I'm sorry, discrimination is against the law. Don't act like you know what I'm academically capable of, because you've never had me in a class. My grades aren't the best, but that's because I know I can slack off and get B's and C's.  But thanks for giving me a reason to show you what I'm capable of.
