Do you know how pissed I am today? DO YOU REALLY KNOW???? In order to graduate from the UCLA Film School, you need 72 units, four quarters of advanced screenwriting, and two critical studies classes. I have the 72 units, the four quarters of screenwriting, and I'm taking one crit studies course this quarter. It didn't dawn on me, in the ninth week of a ten week quarter, that I could have taken a second and have been DONE!!! Right now, I could be taking my last class at UCLA, but instead, I will spend $4500 for ONE FUCKING CLASS next quarter. I should be on the Keith Obermann's Worst Person in the World for that bonehead move. If I had an axe, I would chop down a tree I'm so pissed. Now, another option is to say screw next quarter and take the class during the summer. Well, one: I don't feel like taking any classes after I walk across the stage with my Masters. Two, I have the development deal that will go into production this summer. And three, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE FUCK OUT NOW!!!!! I am rapidly becoming dumber by the minute.
So, I could try to petition, but from what I've heard, that shit ain't gonna fly. I'm just so pissed. Did I mention that before????
Hey everyone, my name is Lawrence Ross and I'm what they call a pro-fess-ion-al writer. That means I get paid to write and hopefully enough folks buy my stuff. It's what I've always wanted to do, and I'm lucky enough to do it. Follow me on my journey.

It probably would have been better if you had not come to that realization. :( I'm sorry that you this has come to the light.
Ah, but I beleive the minimum residency is 6 quarters, so you were doomed to at least one more class anyway.
Besides, you don't have to take ONLY one class. Even if you do, that one class could make all the difference. You never know...
Technically, you have to do those six quarters, but folks are getting petitions and rolling out now. But you're right, I might as well enjoy my last quarter. I'm going to do a rewrite, which I think should be a mandatory last quarter thing anyway, and I may see if I can TA. I think I've calmed down now, though. lol
Awww man!

Rudeboy! I feel you. Be mad! Throw that thing you wanted to throw, then take the course in the summer and keep moving! Looks like you've been working hard.
