I've been doing a course since easter at college. It's just a little introduction course to the real one I start in september. I don't have to do it, but I was told it would "look good" on the application.
So basically out of 5 subjects I was to pick 3. Lets call them a, b and c.
A and B are fine but C is just ridiculous and a complete waste of time. On the very first lesson I turned up at 1pm for the starts of the class and was told "sorry, they wrote the wrong time on your card, that started at 9am this morning, you've missed it".
So, the 2nd week I turn up and was immediately placed in pairs with a girl who, by her own admission "just can't be arsed with it". We were to study together, gather info and create a presentation for the following week. Tis was going to be difficult anyway considering we only see each other in this one class but we compromised and said we would get to college 1 and a half hours early the following week and get it all done.
So muggings here turns up an hour and a half early and am sat there in the library on my own until the start of class. She didn't even show up. So I get to class, yet again with no work to present. I'm told "don't worry about it, just do it for next week."
So we arrange yet again to meet in the library 1 and a half hours early. I turn up. She doesn't. She later comes into college laughing and giggling with her friend who she'd just bumped into. Half heartedly apologised and just laughed it off.
So we get into class and are told "soz, tutor hasn't turned up, she's ill. You may as well go home and do it next week".
This is ridiculous imo. Not only have I wasted numerous hours on this, I've wasted 2 lots of bus fares which I really can't afford at the moment and the whole thing is just stressing me out. We've been there 4 weeks and have produced NO work. Despite the fact that in class A we have produced 3 full assignments and in class B we have produced 2.
Apart from all this, I have to leave this particular class half an hour early everytime anyway to pick DS up (as they gave me the wrong times, I didn't have chance to organise proper child-care from the start!)
I was told by the course organiser that I could "drop" one of the subjects if I wanted to and it would just mean that I didn't get the certificate. But it wouldn't effect septembers course.
DH will NOT approve because he doesn't give a shit about my feelings at all, all he cares about is the money after I qualify. When he starts AIBU to tell him firmly that I am an adult and will make my own decisions??
And AIBU for wanting to drop this waste of time subject from my course and forfeiting teh certificate?
