I tried to call the bursar's office at the university to ask why I didn't get my money back for the class that was cancelled. I called the number posted on the website, immediately got transfered by the phone system to the main menu hell. Pushed "0" to reach an operator, got no answer. Lather, rinse, repeat. You'd think that a big school would have a phone system with real live people to answer the phones. Nah. Decided that I needed to go to the campus today anyway to get my ID (I've been a student there 2 years with no ID) and then visit the bursar's office in person. The two lackeys manning the "Help Desk" immediately adjacent to the ID station had no idea where the lady who makes the IDs was, and apparently no one else there could/would do the ID. Stomped around the building for 20 minutes waiting for the ID lady to return to her desk, she still didn't make an appearance. I then walked to the bursar's office to ask about the refund for the cancelled class and was told that the credit had been put on my ID card. That I didn't have. The guy was nice enough move the credit to my upcoming fall class, and he made a phone call to the ID center. He assured me that someone would be there to make the ID now. I did get it done, but the lady that should have been there was still AWOL.
Got 132% on my first statistics test. How is that possible? 8 questions, answer 5 for full credit at 20 points each. There were no instructions to that effect on the test, so I answered all the questions. I missed some parts of a couple of the answers, but I think I set the curve. All but a couple of the problems on the test were taken directly from the exercises in the book and from examples we worked in class.
