So I'm sitting at the train station right now, in a rather uncomfortable wooden bench seat. And its really hard to get comfy. Although I guess if they were comfy I might fall asleep. Who makes up these train schedules? 2am? Are you kidding me? What kind of person thinks, oh we should schedule a train for 2am becuase that is such a busy time when everyone wants to travel.
So any way...I definitly over packed. My bags are so stuffed I'm afraid to open them, stuff might come flying out at me. ;) I brought so much stuff to entertain myself since I am going to be sitting in this stupid station for about another 2 hours. I have books (2), homework, my aptop, some food, stuff for registering (since I actually can now), and random stuff I need like my wallet.
So about the registering, its a really long long story, but I guess I have hours to waste. So I never got assigned an academic advisor at the Alive orientation, so I figured once I was assigned one, they would let me know. But then time for registering came around and I still didn't have and advisor. My registration hold was for Thursday at 12:20. So Monday I went to the Student Advising Center and asked them who my advisor was, all they told me was that I had an advisor from the Natural Sciences Department and that I should ask the department. So I called them (the guy was really grumpy about it) and they told me who my advisor was and gave me some contact info. So I e-mailed her that night. By wednesday night she still hadn't e-mailed me back, so I sent her another one. She finally got back to me on Thursady and said that she wouldn't have time to meet with me and that I should get a new advisor. So she gave me the number of some guy I should call. So I called right away, this was around 4:30, but there was no answer so I left a message with a call back number. The guy never called back though. So finally on Friday, after my registration hold had passed, I went to the advising center and said I need an advisor now and I'm changing my major. She sent me to the Natural Sciences Department to pick up my folder which I had to then take to the Biological Sciences Department where they would assign me a new advisor. The lady there was at least nice, she told me she would get back to me as soon as possible with a new advisor. Later that day I got an e-mail with my new advisor's name and contact info. So I e-mailed him right away and he actually got back to me only an hour later! So now he lifted the hold and I can register, and we will meet later. Yay!
