the brilliance that is Tech

if you remember, Tech closed off some parking lots due to falling ice from a radio tower. for about a week, no one knew why until a small story was printed in the university paper. unfortunately no one reads the paper because it sucks so unless, like me, you do the crossword puzzle, you still didn't know. finally, yesterday afternoon, as i headed back to my car which was precariously parked atop a mountain of mud, i saw that the parking lots had finally been reopened. later that day, an email went out stating that the parking lots would be closed due to falling ice and until further notice. wtf?!?! the email is supposed to go out earlier than after the fact, assholes.

finally some answers

yesterday i mentioned how i had trouble finding a parking spot at school, and today i found out why. apparently, since our parking lot is under a radio antenna, huge chunks of ice have been raining down and smashing cars, decapitating students,wreaking havoc, etc. winter sucks.

more reasons i hate Tech

-yesterday when it was below freezing outside, the English building was also freezing. i'm paying fifty billion dollars in tuition, and no one can turn on a heater? my third class is up on the third floor and away from most entrances so it was a little worm, and the feeling started to return to my face. then the air conditioner kicked on. wtf?!?!

-for some ungodly reason, Tech administrators picked the coldest days of the past few years to shut off most of the parking lots and leave approximately five spaces for 30,000 students to fight over. i had arrived early to catch up on some reading but ended up spending 35 minutes driving around stalking students in hopes of stealing their spots as they left. no luck. then i remembered that i have 4 wheel drive and can park anywhere the hell i want to. so i monster trucked it over some little compacts and some rocks and such and parked on the grass. then i had to suffer through arctic winds to catch a damn bus.

this is going to be one long semester. i can tell.

first sucky day of school

today, as you can tell from my post title, i started the Spring semester. since i forgot my iPod at work, it was a particularly horrendous, music-less experience. i only had two classes, and they both promise to be overwhelming in both assignments and boredom. i don't even want to think about the crap classes that i start tomorrow. you know, people keep telling me, 'this is your last semester!', but that kind of optimism doesn't help me. in fact, it just makes me more bitter. it makes me want to kick 'em in the groin and tell them something ugly about their mother. i'm so glad i'm going to Dallas this weekend to see the Chili Peppers because i need to get out of this p.o.s. town for a few days.

grrr.

whoever thinks it's a good idea to schedule exams at 7:30 AM is sadly mistaken.
