college probation rant

So I got put on academic probation last semester, and saw my department advisor as was mandatory. This was about 3/4 of the way through the semester and I already knew I was going to be doing badly again. So at the meeting, I go over everything with him and he says it's fine. I'm signed up for another semester and everything is looking fine, I just can't get lower than a c in anything.
A few weeks ago, I notice my status still hasn't changed. Instead I'm on a hold saying I'm now subject to disqualification, and can't register without seeing my advisor again... About shit that hasn't changed at all. I wait until I'm home from vacation to call and make an appointment, and I'm told he's completely booked until next semester and that there are no drop in appointment times.

I've recently been given an academic dismissal... which is what happens if you fail to meet academic probation requirements.
It's a pain in the ass, but it's not the end of the world. Transfer to a community college for a semester, get good grades, and re-apply to your university the following semester.
A lot of students who get dismissed from Azusa Pacific University here just go next door to citrus college (they're on the same massive city block) for a semester, then back to APU. (APU, LOL)

I was going through a lot of shit and didn't feel motivated to do the work last year. Now, I've got plenty of motivation and the only thing the administration wants to teach me is how to receive a donkey punch.

Its all about image with them, and your messing theirs up at the moment. Try to talk to your advisor, some suck and some are great. If you have a free day drop in anyhow and sit there until someone can help youw ith your problem. Your thousands of dollars in tution at least earns you that right.

Here's an update, although I'm sure no one gives a shit:
I just went by the school today to make sure that the stuff I had gotten signed by my department's dean 2 months ago had made it into the system. Turns out this whole thing was my fault .
I was supposed to get this paper signed by the dean, and then turn it into the registrar. It had been sitting in a folder in my apartment until today.
I'm back in!
