I won the appeal!!!!!!!! I get to take all these classes. I'm going to pass all these classes. And thus, I get to graduate this semester. BOO YAH Grandma!! In yo' face M.Lake! What happened to the schools "standards" now huh?! *ahem* Thou shalt not be vindictive... I beat a teachers ego. She has no say in what I do now at this school. Unless she hires the other teachers to fail me or something shallow like that. Think she'd do that? All she gets to do now is sign my graduation request this semester. :D It all happened in one day. The decision was that easily obvious even to a bunch of strangers. I don't know who Tamara Taylor is so much. But I love her. She fought for me against M.Lake. And I got to hear some of it and it was awesome. I knew I was ahead when I left that building. :D And Tamara saw right through all the crap M.Lake was saying. And then she got an appeal committee to confirm her decision cuz M.Lake wasn't going down easily. A box of chocolates for everyone who helped. Patsy, who basically wrote my appeal letter and added her own. Tamara, for knowing my situation and understanding me when I needed it most and seeing through all the crap M.Lake gave her. :D Now, I need the money to get the box of chocolates... My ego just like exploded my head! And I love it! Hey, me deserving something and me having an ego is a RARE and HUGE deal for me okay?! It prolly won't last long...but still! I win!! Now I actually have to take the classes... And pass them... And maybe have plans or something after I graduate. Back to square one of: Now what? Oh well! One step at a time! And yes M.Lake, Just to make it clear In case you didn't hear them I AM THE EXCEPTION!! I can't stop smiling.
