Sigh of Relief

In a previous entry, I mentioned how all the classes I take this year will be factored in towards my GPA and that I may fail one course because I did not get a course approval from the appropriate department back at Emory.  This was something that really scared me and I was prepared to accept the fact that I may fail a class that I did really well in due to my misunderstanding of my school's study abroad program.  However, I was saved by the Emory Economics Department, who granted credit as an exception for the class in question, AC100.  This was great news right before my Euro-trip.  My word of advice - while you are abroad, you feel like you are a whole different world with new rules - but make sure you know the rules of your home university well - especially about the courses you take while abroad!  I was very lucky - but the outcome would have been very different if the Emory Economics Department had not acted exceptionally.
