Bureaucratic mess RESOLVED.
Resolved with ONE EMAIL to my academic adviser, who proceeded to forward it to the registrar and the dean. (Potentially embarrassing: my informal grousing about pain-in-the-ass quintuple-signed petitions was included in the forward. Oops.) Turns out I was right: they meant to make me a second-semester sophomore, but somebody screwed up and they made me a second-semester freshman. The surprising thing is that they heeded my request, which was to make me a regular sophomore who graduates in May instead of January. So my class standing is sorted out, yay!
And now I can worry about junior year abroad, the deadline for which is most definitively February 1. The good news is that my adviser also forwarded my email to Dominique Thiébault, the study-abroad adviser for the comp sci major, who says that Smith has an agreement with University of Paris VI that would allow me to take classes at the Jussieu campus. Sweet!
Also my adviser says that the French department might be sympathetic to my lack of college-level credits because a) I'm a transfer, b) I'm (hopefully) taking a 300-level class, and c) I got an A in FRN 230. I totally DID NOT KNOW the last part because grades aren't published until Monday, so YAY.
I am a leeeetle too tipsy right now to email him (and the dean, and the registrar, and Dominique Thiébault) back, so I will confine my celebration to my LiveJournal. COMMENT PARTY Y'ALL. My academics are back on track and there's a good chance I'll be spending a YEAR IN PARIS.
