there's this show on comedy central called the colbert report. i only just started watching it, but so far it's hilarious. colbert has a list that he calls "things that are dead to me/on notice". so i have decided to start my own list and update it as i see fit.
1. Dead to me--> UT Parking and Transportation Services.
Here is just a brief summary about why. Last semester, I had to ride a bus across the highway into the ghetto to get my car. A, it wasn't very safe for my car to be there. B, it was a major event for me to even be able to use my car because it took forever to get to. And, for home football games, I had to move it. That was like 6 or 7 weekends. So this semester I spend an absolutely ridiculous amount to keep my car in a garage that is still a walk from San Jac. No joke the day after i buy this permit, I get an email saying that there are certain events for which i will have to relocate my car. So every week or so, I go and move it to a different garage, and the walk from that one is much creepier than the walk from my garage. One weekend I forgot until about 2 in the morning, but I was hoping maybe they would be lenient. Nope, $25 ticket right on the windshield. I know a girl who had to pay $125! Parking on campus in general sucks. So there, wasn't that stimulating?
