Seems an odd choice though. I disagree with his idea given that -
locally - nothing can and will change, but it isn't especially dumb
even if you don't take into account the typical value of "dumb" on
this newsgroup.

On a different topic, you're almost through with your undergrad
degree, aren't you? Where are you planning to go afterwards?

Yes - I was hoping for this spring but it turned out to be a little on
the optimistic side. I have no idea what, if anything, I'm doing for
grad school.

My residency situation is still in limbo. So long as I didn't
know if I were actually graduating, other students were in
front of me. Because of my administrative difficulties, I'm
almost guaranteed to have to accept a residency in Lowest
Slobovia or other such dump...

I was in a really aggravating situation with some disallowed
transfer credits, so for a while I didn't know if I was actually
going to graduate this year, but things finally got straightened
out. To give you an idea of just how STOOPID the whole situation
was:

Advisor: "We can't allow this one. It was an upper level course,
* * *and you took it while you were still an undergraduate
* * *without having taken the necessary prerequisites."
Me: "But I got an A!"
Advisor: "You shouldn't have been allowed to take the course.
* * *Your advanced placement advisor gave you wrong advice."
Me: "But I got an A!"

I'm going to be unhappy if that situation hits me because
the same conditions apply.

I've been fighting the administration for over three
years. If you're going to have problems, find out now!
