Education in our dear country !!!!

I am actually preparing an executive MBA in a "RESPECTFUL" university in Alexandria . This MBA is supposed to be done in 4 semesters (2 years ) . but unfortunately this is becoming my 3rd year and they still don't want to graduate me ! Noting that i have finished my 2 years and the total of credit hours needed to graduate !!
Their excuse for not graduating me is that my GPA is a bit less than 3 , so i have to take more courses to get this GPA !!!! actually this doesn't happen in any professional university in the world , but this is a way to get some more money from students by making them take more courses ! Anyways, yesterday i tried to solve this problem with this administration by asking to meet the Dean of the postgraduate studies ! and the first surprise i get is that his secretary tells me : " Sorry, the dean doesn't meet students " , so obviously i had to reply "we r not children over here we are respectful people taking an MBA, so we are not yet undergrads! " .
Anyways she told me to meet the Assistant Dean, i went to him just to cut it short, explained my case and told him that i am leaving the country soon and i need my certificate . So he started to talk to me with a bad tone saying we can wait for you till you get back and continue , i said i don't know when i will be back ! he said so you can take a diploma instead (diploma is a 8 courses certificate, noting that i have finished 16 courses) i told him that is impossible . And suddenly he comes out with a sentence that really astonished me, he said :
"You want a mercedes car but YOUR MONEY can only get a fiat , so you can't keep asking for the mercedes coz you will not be able to get it " . i was like what da fuuuuuuuuuck !!!! and this is supposed to be a respectful dean of a respectful university ..... What he doesn't actually know is that what he just said means that they don't care about their students and their future .... they only care about MONEY these son of bitches .... and the last word he says "even the president of the republic will not get you this certificate ..... thanks , you can dispose " and i had to leave coz was really disrespectful to me and if stayed a minute more i coud have beaten or insulted him .

So this story is just to show how respectful is our education system , and how respectful and educated the staff working in our private universities !

Dubai is waiting for me !!!

I've always heard that the UAE specially Dubai is one of the most beautiful countries in the Arabian Gulf, but unfortunately i've never been there as i didn't have the chance to due to my studies and my work . I used to take any opportunity of travel to go to my second country Ivory coast to visit my dad and all my beloved childhood friends .

But now it is time , i am flying to dubai tomorrow to visit Keynet team, Margus and Peep who were very cooperative for the last period in helping me getting the Visa on time . I really thank you guys for your great effort .
