Japan and Graduation

heh... I don't know where to start... I mean, I've been figuring out how to graduate for the past 6 months now and even after all the trouble and worry, I'm still very far from the goal. It's a little unreasonable how difficult it is to find a class to satisfy these 3 small requirements: "must be 4 UC quarter units of upper division non-engineering/science/math related study"...

After hearing about how difficult the UOEAP director can be in allow units to transfer, I found that I'd probably be able to get my upper div units via the Japanese language courses offered here at Tohoku because it seemed unlikely that the combination of the non-engineering courses here would be able to pass by the director... the so-called dragon-lady. My Japanese isn't great, but I figured it was good enough to be close to intermediate level, which would give me enough units to graduate... funnily enough, the level I got assigned to was absolute beginner, and it seems they want to keep me here...

Really... I don't know what to do anymore... I really want to just quit school just to make a statement against this type of bureaucratic idiocy.
