A Wasted Two Days

I'm making it official, right here, right now so everyone get out your notepads and pencils and take this down. UTAR sucks.


I thought it couldn't possibly suck any more than it already does. Really. I thought that this was just about as bad as it gets. But yet again, they surpassed the lowest of my lowest expectations of them. 


Yesterday I stood in line close to TWO HOURS trying to register for my subjects for my current semester. Interested in why standing in line was even necessary? Let me tell you.


Supposedly we register for our subjects online during a certain period of time before our semester starts (usually during study break when we're supposed to be studying for finals but let's get back to that later). But the truth is there are not enough slots provided for all the students. For example, in a certain lecture there was only space for 175 students. How can this be when we have to share this class with my juniors and in my batch alone we have more than 200 students? So anyway, when I attempted to register for my subjects I found that the only subjects available (which I hadn't already taken in previous semesters) were all full. Yes, all of them. It was crazy. 


And so to avoid the chaos that is Week 1 in the Faculty General Office, some students tend to go to the office during our sem break. But guess what? No one in the office was accepting any forms or any responsibility for anything that was remotely about timetables for the following semester. And so, my only alternative came in the form of standing in line for TWO HOURS yesterday. I didn't even get to do my timetable, by the way. I was so tired and hungry that I just decided to come back another day. 


Which was today. And I still have one subject to register for because I didn't copy the two possible subject codes for it and just copied one instead. And that's another thing. Why the hell does one subject have 2 subject codes when it is the same damn thing? *sigh*

Oh well at least I got to register for Actuarial Modelling. My timetable still sucks though. And at least when I went for Actuarial Maths class today, I saw that it was still Dr. Chua teaching the subject. He's so funny, I missed him. 


Well that's about it for now. Nothing interesting happening yet, except for Mom and Dad's impending visit this Chinese New Year. Yay :D
