Do you remember me telling you I was short 1 unit to meet the requirements to apply? How I could have sworn I had 61 units? And How I was going to go to a UC in Fall 2010 for sure?
Well today, I decided to meet my counselor to discuss about my educational progress. I was hoping to get this appointment sometime before the UC application deadline but everything was booked as usual so I got this appointment today. I met him once before and we talked like we knew each other for at least 4 years. We talked about what’s been going on, how things were, what my plans are, etc. At one point, he started adding up all the units that are transferable to check as see how many units I had. Not including the class I’m currently taking, he came up with 61 units. I said, “Hmm that’s strange, I’m only taking this one class because I thought I was short 1 unit”. So we backtracked and found out, PE classes are considered UC transferable! And I had 2 of those! So if I have known this a year ago, I would probably be at a library, studying my ass off with both Kevin Ha and Vivian Lee, Robby, or some cute Jewish girl from Newport Beach. Bottom line, I should be in UC by now. But remember what I wrote last time, I have no regrets, just some mistakes I made.
I also talked to my counselor about AA degree. Turns out, I have required units and classes to earn AA degree in social and behavioral science. Which I think is pretty fancy thing to have in a resume. When I was talking to my counselor, I felt like I accomplished a lot. He reassured me that I should have no problem getting into all the universities that I have applied. I don’t know if he is saying things I want to hear or he’s being honest, but I have a feeling I’ll be writing this blog in an UC library next year. Christmas is coming and this is the present I got from my counselor, reassurance. So, now I play the waiting game. Couple days after I applied to CSU, CSUDH already accepted me, telling me I’m Dominguez material. So cross your fingers, pray, sacrifice a first born, or do whatever it is necessary so that I get into a UC.
