TB

Posted on Thursday, 8 November 2012

As you probably know due to my dramatic post previously, I have had my TB vaccination. UCSD wanted students to have their TB vaccination if they were staying longer than a quarter at UCSD. Firstly, they wanted us to fill out a questionnaire and they would evaluate whether we needed the vaccination, and then they wanted us to have the vaccination before we came to America.

Well I filled out the questionnaire and got no reply. Nothing. Nada. But Dad, very rightly stated that it being America, I should probably get it done anyway because they would turn around last minute and say "Oh no, health is super important here, you were meant to get it done despite our poor organisational skills"

So I got it done. I sent in all my paperwork and thought Voila. No need to worry. That was until it came to enrolling in classes for next quarter. Traditionally international students get a slightly earlier enrolment time so we can try out all the new classes here before they get filled up. I went online yesterday, excited to enrol, when I saw a hold on my account. What was the hold? That I hadn't had my TB vaccination so therefore I couldn't enrol until ten days after all my peers - basically it is going to be really hard for me to get onto courses I want.

I WANT TO SCREAM.
