Course completion date delayed??? This is very bad... all my future plans will also be carried forward... sigh*~! Many will think that it's because of the college's management screwed up... mine's not... Basically it's because of ONE idiotic course mate, who complains about every single thing. From lecturer's to class schedules and college management.

1. 8 out of 10 lecturers had been involved in her complains (She want's a teacher NOT a lecturer). - She's already 28 and yet she still needs a teacher? Time to Grow Up Girl!!! This is only in DIPLOMA level!!! You still have a DEGREE to go on...
   
2. All class schedules are wrong to her (no fridays, can't wake up on saturday mornings, can only withstand 2 subjects per week, etc.). - There are times they require 3 to 4 subjects running in parallel. If you can't do it, your course gets delayed.
3. College management delays in result slips (already mentioned that it'll be distributed every end of semester), text book distributions (non-critical as most lecturer's don't use it and neither does it provide us any details), etc. - This complain is legible. And yet the college's management did fixed it.
   

I'm not fully supporting her decisions. So does my other two course mate. But the majority is with her. And why is the majority is with her??? It's because of pity... All of the others do want an early completion. So... Yes, she threatens her friends..."You guys aren't supporting me... what's the point of studying anymore? I'll just quit this course". And yet she claims that her complains speeds up the course duration and super duper proud of it. Of course not... actual completion date is October 2009 but now it has been delayed to June 2010. A total of 8 months delay. What's there to be proud of??? I just feel like slapping her.
Even the college's management commented that if she ever threatened to leave, they'll be very glad. The college never face such a problematic class before. After my intake, the college actually stops taking in students other than the batches of company sponsored students.
Sigh*~! I have a few choices to make at this moment. But there'll definitely be cause and consequences.

1. Enquire at other colleges which offers same course if they're able to let me cut in to one of their current running intakes and complete by 2009 instead of 2010 with my current subject exemptions.
   
2. Straight away hop into degree in engineering without completing the current diploma via working experience. Is it possible? If I do that, will I be far behind in the knowledge? as I'll be skipping the last few subjects.
   
3. Is there any college that will allow me to do their degree with my diploma running in parallel? As long as I can provide my diploma before I finished the degree. At least I won't missed anything. But during this period, I'll be super duper busy with tons of assignments and exam preparations.
4. Close one eye and carry on. Since I'm already offered as an engineer post in my current job.
   

What to do now??? Any advice from student counsellors??? or Anybody have been through similar cases???
