it's bad to be stupid around finals time

i wasn't sure my school could go much lower than it already had in the past, but whenever things seem to be going smoothly here some new asinine stunt is pulled, often showing just how little the school actually cares about the success of its students.

example 1: exams
because the brilliant minds that are our administration moved us to a shitty office building, there was insufficient room to bring all of the computers from the computer labs, so the school has joined the 21st century and allowed us to type our exams on our own computers. a reasonable caveat to this is that we must have secureexam on our computers to eliminate access to other computer files while taking an exam. that's fine.

what's not fine is simply sending a school-wide email with a link to download the program with a message of well, you better figure this out and learn how to use it. if you lose an exam, it's at your own risk and don't come crying to us.

fuck you. what does our 30k/yr go to around here anyway? pretend you care goddamnit. we used secureexam at my old school, but that school set up a couple meetings where you get the software off a cd, sit thru a quick tutorial, and have someone there to answer questions or troubleshoot. this school doesn't give a fuck, not that i'm surprised.

example 2: spring registration
to make matters worse, we (FINALLY) got an email today about when and how we would be registering for spring classes. again, this school is joining the 21st century and for the first time allowing us to register online. normally registration is in november. this being the first online registration (and it being this school), it is very possible to have a few glitches in the system to work out. so why do i care so much? because these fuckers scheduled registration from THE WEEKEND RIGHT BEFORE FINALS INTO THE FIRST WEEK OF FINALS. who fucking does that shit? what school would EVER think it's a good idea to schedule registration during finals? honestly. what the fuck? it's not like goddamn high school where the finals schedule works itself out. we have to look at the finals schedule ahead of time cuz fuck knows the school wont let us change anything later. plus it'll probably take 2 years just to get 5 classes that aren't in conflict with each other.

honestly, fuck this school. other than that and feeling a bit under the weather lately things are really good. but there was no easy transition back from break today. oh no. i mean, what kind of place would this be if things progressed logically and the students were actually happy?
