Grad school


First 2 days of school, neither hectic nor carefree, just blah. Lines in the bookstore, lines to get an ID, lines to get a discounted bus pass (which is still a rip off), lines EVERYWHERE! So many classes to choose from with only 4 semesters to procrastinate. Most of those courses are only offered freakin' once a year! Then there are those stupid stupid stupid prerequisites. If you don't take this, you can't take this, it's best that you take this before you take this. Did I mention they are stupid? To avoid being on the waitlist, you register for 6 classes and drop as you go. So for the first week, you end up with 3 labs and 12 lectures to attend because you are STILL not sure whatcha wanna take. Then after the first week, you have to wait in that loooonnnnnnggggg line to return all the books you thought you needed. And...so you think your schedule is set right? Wait until the professors change the syllabus. If the syllabus is a contract between the students and the professors, why the heck do professors have the power to change the syllabus on a whim? Then at the end of the semester, you have 20 copies of the syllabus all with edits here and there. That's grad school. So, how's your life?
