Fall semester is approaching and, as such is the case, Pat is back and has much to write about. Please join in the adventures of fall semester..........
The beginning of the semester means about 10 things for Pat:
1. Parking lots and University streets are crawling with student pedestrians that do not read signs, pay no attention to traffic laws and oncoming traffic, and will walk out straight in front of you despite the fact that they can obviously hear and see you car. Good luck parking or moving in your vehicle whatsoever everyone!
2. Clueless freshman are wondering lost throughout all hallways and believe that everyone office on their way is one big map , filled with tour guides whose sole purpose is to lead and direct them to all of their classrooms and destinations.
3. Everyone is trying to meet with their adviser. They are always shocked when the said adviser is not available and never understand that everyone else is also trying to meet with the adviser.
4. Every student that walks into Pat's department is trying to register at the last minute....instead of 3-4 months ago.
5. Every student is an exception and has a special case or story.
6. Students don't understand the concept of a waiting list and are trying to thrust add cards in your hands, begging for signatures.
7. Every adviser is on anti-depressants....or needs to be.
8. Administrative Support professionals, campus wide are considering quitting.
9. The phones ring constantly at the worst possible moment and although you may have gone for an hour and a half without a phone call, the second that it starts ringing two or three calls will come through at once.
10.Students park in employee parking and employees circle 2-3 lots searching for spots and spearing under their breathe.
