don't curse!

you did the right thing in not cursing.

Maybe you could send some nasty voicemails to my uni. They literally couldn't organise a **** up in a brewery. The admin staff is like ****ing Soviet Russia on crack. Its so badly organised and everyone I meet I completely slate the uni to them in the hope no one will make the same mistak. Example- there are 28 of us grads on this sort of sub-course, and then 450 people on the normal course. So naturally they don't give a **** about the 28 of us. So we got an email once at 1.58pm that someone had forgotten to send to us before, saying pick up your essays from the academic office (joke name, office suggests people actually work there) by 2pm. So we went straight over there and asked to pick them up. The woman sitting there staring into space literally goes "Its 2.01pm you cannot have them back, you had to pick them up by 2pm". We explained no one bothered to tell us til then, she goes "Well you can't pick them up", so we ask when we can and she goes "I don't know the head of the academic office will have to reschedule you a time". The essays were sitting by her arm in a box. In the end my friend just lent over and grabbed the box.

Oh and this term, we got sent an email on November 12th about some appointments they had scheduled for us going "Here are the appointments. They were scheduled starting this Monday the 9th. Some of you will have therefore missed them." No apologies, no offers to reschedule, nothing. ****wits. Literally ****wits. The other students are fairly retarded too. Not as bad as on my masters course though (still never recovered from the joy of my Conflict and Health module where people would stick up their hands to interrupt the lecture and go "I think war is bad". Seriously. As if there was some coalition of people going "**** yeah, war is ACE, especially when it leads to mass diarrhoeal outbreaks in refugee camps").

I don't mind mistakes made by school faculty or staff, as long as they don't affect my grades.

I do because I resent incompetence full stop. Especially when it means I have to waste my time, which I would far rather spend doing almost anything else as opposed to dealing with a ****ty admin department. I mean at least in the UK we pay peanuts for higher education, but in the US, you guys are paying ****loads and as a consequence I'd go apoplectic.

schools like to be bull****.

for example! a couple years ago i was in my last semester and i was two months from being done forever. but then i broke my leg real hard and couldn't catch up in my classes nor could i you know. get to them really. so i dropped out and thought okay i'll just finish next term.

but THEN they were like wellllll you had grant money and you dropped out so you owe us $1600 before you can go back. and i was like ummmmm can i just use my grant money for this new term to pay it off once i get it since you know i'm gonna get it? and they were like NO. you can not. so i had to sit on my *** and work at a call center for a term and still was not going to have sixteen hundred bull**** dollars saved up but LUCKILY (um) my g-pa died and my g-ma had all this dead husband money so she paid to get my *** back in.

but it was all terrible bull****.

and yeah i'm not even going into tards who don't know what to do in english class. the sheer number of them i ran into in the english MAJOR would make you **** boiling vinegar.
