you know, it's like they don't *want* me to declare my major or something..., part 2

So I went in again today to Stevens to declare my major AGAIN, and perhaps I may have spoken too soon yesterday, for ALAS THEY HAVE FOILED MY PLANS YET AGAIN CURSE YOU...IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU MEDDLING KIDS AND THAT DOG OF YOURS...SCOOBY-DOOBY-DooOOooOooo~~

I arrived around 10:30a in hopes that I would get to see an adviser before heading off to EAP peer adviser class only to find that there were already like 7 people before me; luckily, about two of them got their questions answered by the peer advisers, so I got to steal their spot in line they didn't have to wait for a long time to see an adviser unlike the rest of us poor unfortunate souls.... By the time it got to me, it was 11:35a and I was getting antsy since I'd forgotten my phone in my rush to get out the door in time to get in line at the major office, so it wasn't like I could call S and have her vouch for my missing peer advising class. Anyway, I FINALLY got called on by the adviser, and once I get in and sit down, the scenario runs something akin to this:

Adviser: So, do you have your transcript?
Me: Rhonda usually looks it up on the computer.
A: Yes, well, your having it here makes things much more convenient for us.
M: The peer advisers said my application was fine.
A: But it's much easier for me to look over your transcript if you have it.
M: Fine. Can we just look online right now and I'll print it out for your records later.
A: Why don't you go to the computer in the back and print your transcript and DARS report out? And then you can also print out your EAP course approval forms and the unit-transfer form as well.
M: (return with the print-outs; at this point, it's 11:55a) Erm, I have class now; could I come in later today?
Would you guys be less busy later in the afternoon?
A: The afternoon is for declared majors only. We'd suggest you come in at a later time since we're really busy right at this time and you have a lot of issues to deal with.
M: Okay. When would be a good time to come in?
A: Advising hours for intended majors to declare is next Wednesday, between the hours of 10a-12p.
M: ....

ADVISING HOURS ARE TWO HOURS OUT OF AN ENTIRE WEEK?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

TT__________TT At this rate, I'll never get to declare, :(
