Hey there, LiveJournal! You may suck (LiveJournal, not you, the person reading this) but at least you allow people to post more than 420 whole characters! I rarely have anything I feel worth posting on the internet nowadays, but when I do, gods dammit, I want enough fucking words to say it in my own way! Fuck Facebook and Twitter and the Bergeronization of the internet. Fuck it HARD.
That out of the way, rantity-rant I wanted to post on Facebook and can't link to from Facebook because I'm a 'tard and used my furry name for this LJ:
Fuck this economy! I got only 4 hours of sleep because I was neurotic due to worrying about trying to get into a calculus class today because they were all full before I was allowed to register. There were so many people on campus it took an hour to find a parking spot, so when I showed up for the class 15 minutes late to find a line out the door, I knew I wouldn't get in. I stuck around just in case though, and of course didn't get in. At least I know to ride my bike to school for the next couple of weeks, minimum. And there's still a *slight* chance of getting into the night calc class TTh, but I'll have to sacrifice life drawing to do it. *sigh* It's bad enough that 5/6 Calculus classes are before noon, the fact that they're nigh-impossible to get into without registration priority 1 is just icing on the failcake.
Mostly, I believe this is an issue of a really bad, but well-meaning design decision of the school. Rather than mostly building big lecture halls that can meet the demand, they built small classrooms for a more "personal" touch. FUCK THE PERSONAL TOUCH. Personal touch means fuck-all when you can't even get into the damn class! Half the class will drop by the middle of the semester anyway, so the personal touch can come in then, and no one who really wanted to be in that class gets shafted!
