Dear Sociology Department,

Stop changing my schedule, you big meanies. I had a perfect schedule wherein there were no class at all throughout the entire year on Mondays and Wednesdays, and no classes on Thursdays for the entire fall term. First you destroyed my soul by trying to act like you were going to put my queer sociology class in direct conflict with my research methods in history class; and then you were all like Oh we’re probably going to change it back; and now you’re all like, You remember that thing where you had Wednesdays off because you cleverly chose the Tuesday timeslot for your US Lit seminar? Yeah. About that. We’ve decided to put the queer sociology class in direct conflict with that US Lit seminar instead, and we’re going to let you know at 5:30 so that you won’t have time to change the timeslot before class tomorrow.

So now instead of this:

Tuesdays: 9-4
Fridays: 2-4

My fall term schedule is like this:

Tuesdays: 9-12, 1-2, 3-4
Wednesdays: 2:30-4
Fridays: 2-4.

See how much less good that is? See how I have really inconvenient hour-long breaks in which to spend money buying lunch I don’t want just so I can use the chairs at the restaurants to sit and read? See how it’s not tidy and compact anymore but in fact hateful and spread-out like nasty jam all spread out on nasty bread instead of localized Cane’s sauce on yummy Cane’s chicken fingers? WHY ARE YOU SATAN?

Okay, I know it’s dumb to bitch about these things when I have a whole day off which is mostly impossible at colleges in the States. BUT STILL. It is the day before Tuesday. This is NO TIME to freak out and change everything, Sociology Department, and why in God’s name does the professor of this class want to have the lecture part and then have an hour-long break before the seminar part? How is that helpful to anyone? (Hint: IT ISN’T.)

In conclusion, POO.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Jenny the Disgruntled Exchange Student

P.S. I also now have class at exactly the time when I’m meant to go meet my boyfriend at the train station. So you are even more horrible than I had previously believed you to be.
