Come from much further away
October 29, 2006I fcuking hate my university’s schedule makers.
They never take into account that many people who attend the VU come from much further away than just Amsterdam. Even though all the classes for a period in my study can easily be fitted into two days, they insist on spreading everything out over the full week, meaning you have to go to school for just one or two classes a day– and even worse, it now means that for the coming 8 weeks, every Tuesday, I have a class from 09:00 to 10:45, and from 15:30 to 17:15, meaning I have 4h45m of ‘free time’– free time at a university campus where there’s absofcukingluitely nothing to do at all. Even worse, I have to leave home at around 7:15, and I’ll get home more than 12 hours later. In that period, I’ll have only done 3 hours of class.
Fcuking bullshit. I’m beyond pissed off right now.
Can you at least bring a laptop and jump online?

Don’t go that day. :)

They probably expect you to spend that time on campus studying or just killing time with your friends. It sure beats spending 5 out of 7 days of a week at home.

I’d rather study at home than study in Concrete Heaven (Amsterdam-South/Amstelveen).
And no, I can’t skip. First of all I don’t want to (attendance is step one en route to good grades), and I am not even allowed to skip (mandatory classes).

Maybe you could drop one and pick it up later. Maybe take something else this time around?
