Syracuse Issues

So last night I was looking at some of my friends blogs, the only one i can find right now is: http://emilyinmadurai.blogspot.in/ But what I noticed about the other blogs is they have photographs of their house, the food and the city that we are staying in, things that I havent thought to post but now I think they will be interesting for you guys to see. So I will be posting some more photographs like that so you can all see!Right now I am staying with my friend Emily Simmons because my family is out of town for two days at a family wedding. I hope at some point I can go with them because I would love to see an Indian wedding! Right now I am in the process of trying to deal with my Photography independent study. I need to take junior seminar this semester because next year i need to take senior Seminar in the fall and obviously i must take junior before senior. My advisor told me that if I did not take it I would have to stay another semester, just for one class which is ridiculous. So....in a way Syracuse University or at least VPA is punishing me by not being standard and going to London or Florence. I wish they were more accommodating to students who do not wish to take the typical course of action. Before I left it was not even clear if I could take Junior Seminar as a independent study, after I arrived and sent an e-mail asking what was going on because I hadn't heard back from my advisor or the teacher in over a month I was reprimanded for not filing the paperwork (to a class I didn't even know was enrolled in because I hadn't heard back). Now the teacher is unwilling to cooperate and talk to me unless it is her response to my photography (her critique). I am highly disappointed in the lack of cooperation and communication of my advisor and teacher. Especially because if I was at Syracuse I could go to office hours and they would be willing to talk, it is very unprofessional of them. I am hoping that I will be able to stay in this class through out the semester.
