I wish my university provided some sort of an ombudsman, because I had one hell of a job trying to get the school to understand that I planned to study abroad for a semester.


Hi there, I'm still here, and the above is true, I am studying abroad and leaving in two days. I should have regular access to a computer, so posting shouldn't be a problem, but if I miss a Tuesday, please don't fret, I'll be back the next week with an extra word. Good to see us up and running again!

Edit: Heavens, nouns are difficult! I'll start going for multiple sources from now on! Thanks, everyone!

Gosh, I never want to hear or see that word again. I'm at college and every teacher is talking about the ombudsman... while no one goes to talk with the person anyway. It just drives me mad.
