official late first day
ok , so ....10 years later im at the illustrious Laredo community college campus.....(yeah right)...i decided to go back to college because the job market is horrible and couldnt get a decent job for the lifestyle i have made for myself after being laid off from ALS (automated logistics systems). I did get other job offers from other transportation companies but it reminded of me looking for another job when i quit or got fired from waitstaff jobs i had in the past and i didnt want to go that route again.....(plus no one wanted to match my old salary)....so thats when i decided to go back to college and took a job at a japanese hibachi steakhouse and sushi bar and took all necessary procedures to get back into school. I started at the advising office where i explained my whole situation and my advisor obviously didnt hear a word i said when i told her i wanted to get in tot he accounting/finance field. She gave me a course plan for a criminal justice degree and kept pushing the idea of law enforement, customs and border protection.....so i went to another advisor and she gave me the correct plan. I registered for summer 1 and passed those courses, summer 2 was a bust because i couldn't afford it. So , i moved all the courses i was going to take in summer 2 to the fall semester. registered, payed...awesome...i go to my first class on monday and was told by the teacher that she didnt have me in the roster and that i should check it out witht the bursars office....was kind of embarrasing because now i looked like a deadbeat....so I mosey on over to the bursars office where i stood in line for nearly 30 minutes and was told that i was dropped from all my classes because 10 YEARS AGO i didnt pay $200 for an installment plan deal i had made.....so i payed the hold and then i asked if it was possible to get all the classes back since i was dropped. they said no. I had to stand in line to re-register. i turned around and i saw people lined up as if they were giving out free water since it was 110 degrees outside and the line started OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING! i then asked if it was possible to register online when the clerk answered, "online registration has been suspended".......(asshole)......so i go one to ask if it was possible to register with the department heads....said he didnt know......(again.....asshole...) i decided to go ahead and try, anything to get out of going to that line.i asked the clerk where the business office is...you know, considering that i had just asked if i can register with a department head, i asked again if he can point to the direction to where the business/accounting department is..he went and told me, confidently explaining where the office was. i then thanked him, turned around and under my breath said...asshole....i follow the directions he gave and as i approached the building where he had told me where the business office was i started noticing that there were signs on the walls that said 'accounting' and an arrow pointing to the direction of where the offices were...i followed the arrows, walking the halls a little more and saw file cabinets, calculators, etc. i knocked on the door of some lady's office and i asked 'this isn't the busniess/accounting department for students, isn't it?' The lady laughed and said 'no.' THE ASSHOLE AT THE BURSAR'S OFFICE SENT ME TO THE ACTUAL ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT FOR THE SCHOOL!!! she noticed how mad i looked and she gave me the correct directions. So i go on over tot he busienss department and tried to registered only to find out that a coupe of the classes where already filled up and had to get special permission from the intructor to see if they would let in one more student.the next day i did just that i went to the classes that i was allowed to register for and then proceeded to get the signatures from the teachers for the other classes, which took me like an hour. then it took me another 2 hours for the line to the admissions and registration office and the bursars office, making me late to work. next blog ill talk about my condescending math instructor...(another asshole)....peace!
