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, :(

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

So in reflection of today, I remembered that I had to head over to Stevens Hall to declare PEIS so that I can finally get the L/S double major sheet signed and sent in, since it was Thursday and they'd told me when I went in on Monday that Thursday would have advising hours for non-declared majors. So I go in at 10a, right after PS 128, and there's already a line that bodes an hour-long wait. A little inquiring around informs me that there will be open advising hours at 3p (and the office closes at 4p, and I have class until 3:30p, >____< ). So I figure I'll drop in after PS 126, get it signed, go to L/S tomorrow, declare w/ L/S, and be done with it all, easy as pie which by the way, I made last time under the supervision of B and V, and it turned out lovely. So there..

If only it were so easy.

After PS 126, I headed over to the office and discovered that they ONCE AGAIN put up that sign at the front desk that says "ADVISING HOURS FOR TODAY ARE OVER. PLEASE COME BACK BETWEEN 10a-4p", and there was already a wait line about 10 people long.

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE. I just need two little signatures, and I don't even have to be there for one of them. Honestly, couldn't I just turn in the application, have it put into your inbox to be signed, and be over with it?

...

Apparently not.

But it's okay. I guess I'll just wait outside their door tomorrow morning at 10a. They can't refuse me then. MUAHAHA, I have outsmarted you, oh administrative bureaucracy!
