Of inconveniences and other minor problems

Oh well my first semester finally started this week. To say that it wasn't so bad after all is an under statement because I did have plenty of inconveniences. To start of with the parking there is madness. Totally madness! The cars are parked bumper to bumper and can you imagine the cars are parked blocking each other? Meaning if you block someone you need to shift your car in the midst of whatever you were doing and if your car is blocked by someone you need to give the person a tinkle and ask them to shift and make way for you. On my first day there I was really terrified at the way their cars were parked so what I did was to wait in some corner and thank god someone was just leaving hence I need not leave my mobile no. behind.

That's only one small part of the problem. However at times that you want to leave the premises you have to think twice if you are planning to go back else you wouldn't be in luck to find a decent place when you return to the campus.

I just don't understand with the amount of money which we pay to the college I think they can easily provide us better parking spaces!! At least wider ones. I can imagine the problem getting worse when I have more classes in the future sems!

Okay maybe I might be able to deal and live with it for the next 2 years.

As if having the inconvenience of parking was not over yet I had to go to the library to do this research which we were assigned to. So to the library I went and you know the books are marked differently for god knows whatever reason it is, depending on the markings only some books are entitled to be borrowed. Bah! And you know what, after selecting the appropriate reference book I could borrow there was this bloody rule that one can only borrow after paying a hefty deposit of $100! What the heck man! As students I thought that having a student card is sufficient! After like paying $200 for registration! It should be included you know..... And that happened after walking several rounds in the library it was so annoying to know the pathetic truth. Jeez!

Lastly was the ultimate disastrous incident of getting the wrong timetable on the first day. How am I to know that I've been given the wrong timetable when everyone else was getting the same timetable. Argh... I wasn't informed. Apart from I was not informed was I needed to register for my subjects every beginning of the semester and only then I realized I had not registered. Good gracious.

I never knew that getting back to college or rather my first week of college would be so complicated or in other words unpleasantly disastrous. Oh god please tell me there won't be anymore hitches. T.G.I.F. tomorrow! No classes for the next three days but have to catch up for the next lesson.

Please do wish me better luck.
