    So I've been worrying all memorial weekend including Monday. See on Friday I filled out an application for to go to a different college. After I had gotten home I realized that I had misread the application and didn't put the other college I had been going to. I've been worrying that I won't get into the college because I forgot. I'm hoping that tomorrow I can go down to the college and explain what happened.

    I was forced to drop out of the other college because I had dropped a class. I had to drop the class because the teacher had been harassing me about my weight. I felt that I had no choice but to drop the class because I didn't feel that she would stop harassing me, even when I filed the complaint. When I dropped the class no one told me that if I dropped that class that I'd be kicked out of college.

    I feel like I got ripped off and I feel so powerless. It seems odd that I'm the one getting punished for the teacher harassing me. I'm wondering if anyone thinks that if I go down to the college I applied at tomorrow that they might be understanding to my situation and maybe let me fix the mistake on the application? Has anyone else ever been in a situation like mine?

    I guess I just really need some opinions about my situation.

    I wish I had, that class wasn't cheap and I still have to take it. I just couldn't because of the anxiety attacks.

    I didn't let her walk all over me and I don't let people. I was just trying to keep the peace, but that didn't work. I'm not the kind of person that goes around hurting anyone.

    You're just the type to get hurt then?

    Either hurt them or yourself

    Violence won't solve this problem, it'll just get me in jail. I think this is how men and women differ so much. I'm glad I have common sense.

    Does the university have any kind of tribunal or panel where they can hear your case? You shouldnt have to leave the university because of dropping a class. Its also discrimination to harass you about your weight.

    In terms of the school you just applied to....could you perhaps call the admissions office and state that you recently mailed your applicationa and are worried that you may have omitted your previous schools name from the application. If they say to you over the phone that they can fix it, you can nicely ask for the person's name who you spoke with "for the record" as a way of covering your basis. I would only go down to the school if calling doesnt work. Oddly enough some offices (especially administrative ones) handle things better via phone. Even though you feel really bad, I bet there are lots of tiny mistakes people make on those applications. Half the time we are so nervous to complete them or they ask for so many questions and requirements that we are bound to forget something.

    Sorry to hear about what happened at your last school. Good luck.

    I explained what happened and they said it'd be okay to just get my transcripts from my other school to them. Now I'm just waiting to hear from them, I'll hear from them next week and hopefully get accepted. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that what happened at my old school won't affect me being able it get into that college.
