WTF?! Why the heck have an e-mail address if you never respond through it? I mean this is the Dean of the ICS (Information & computer science department)... she HAS to check her e-mail regularly. I don't see how a Comp Sci. Dean doesn't.

It says in order to drop a course after the second week, that I would have to talk to the Dean. So I e-mail her telling I really need to drop it in order to avoid the F. To say the least... I couldn't get in the mood for school, as my mom is clinically depressed after my grandfather died and my grandmother went into a comma after rupturing a blood vessel in her brain. :( This was the first death I ever had to deal with in the family... and death is my biggest fear. :( I chose to e-mail her since its easier, and I would rather not confront her because its not soemthing I would really like to talk about in person.. especially with someone I don't know. But I said if she needs to meet me in person, I would be willing...

But she doesn't even respond! Sigh. Guess I have to go through all the trouble of finding her office, finding when shes in, going through all those assistants/counselors, and then having to explain everything to her about stuff I would rather not have to, etc etc. :(

You shouldnt have to explain it. Just go to her office when she is in, tell her that there are family emergencies you need to take care of and you cannot take the class right now. If she pries anymore tell her you are not feeling up to explaining to her at the time, although, if she is any good at what she does she probably wont ask.

Forget email, its impersonal and many people dont answer it. Hell, I dont answer personal email most of the time.
