So, I'm just going to put this out there...
FERPA isn't a very interesting subject. It just isn't. And while I approve of my information being protected, it just wasn't a topic that I'd care to go over ever again.
That being said, what happened after being informed about FERPA was quite excellent. Speaking as a freshman, I feel like some essential things, essential information things, were left out of our O-Week. Or possibly overloaded on us. I was unaware of the function of the Student Senate, which, speaking as one of those students that is being represented in the Student Senate, shouldn't be the case.
I also had less of an idea about the hierarchy of who can help me; I am aware that there was a presentation over it, however, said presentation was given at a point in my life where I couldn't comprehend what would apply to me. I didn't know that our speaker was my representative, although it was probably brought up, because it was introduced as an idea before I had background knowledge about who I might need to know about.
I don't really know where I'm going with this. Possibly I am just dissappointed about how O-Week was presented. Possibly I'm just extremely tired from a week of not sleeping despite having the time and the inclination to do so. I don't know how to fix the system, or really that it's broken, because, honestly, I could have just not been paying enough attention.
We absorb information when we are ready to hear it. During O-week you were much more interested in the other things that were going on rapid-pace all around you. Now that you are settled in, your memory is working again. Of course, with exams coming up again soon, your memory is about to fill to overflowing again.
