U of I: the FEMA of universities


You know how I picked on the Honors Society in yesterday’s blog? Well, I’ve realized that it was a rather unfair thing to do. Therefore, I am extending my complaining to two other parts of the U of I. Enjoy.

My main complaint is with the websites. Mainly, the complete disorganization of every single department website. It is ridiculous. There is no consistency from website to website, and 90% of them are no help whatsoever. The English Department’s is entirely disorganized, the Philosophy Department’s was down for about half the semester, and the Statistics Department’s must be the most basic and unhelpful website yet. The only true thorough website I could find was the Psychology Department’s.

The next complaint has to do with whatever idiot made the layout for the summer scheduling. I’ve complained about this on here before, I think, but really…it deserves it again. What kind of moron makes it so that the first session and the second session overlap by about 10 friggin’ days? I guess it wouldn’t be so bad if any classes were offered at times other than 11:30-1:20 and 1:30-3:20, but they’re not! My god, how hard do they have to think to come up with this crap?

“Hey guys, let’s just sit down here and think of the most inconvenient and utterly moronic scheduling system we can, just to confuse and frustrate the student body!”
“Haha, yeah! And after we’re done we can all go down to One World Café and get lattes!”
“OMG!”

Why such incompetence? Why such useless confusion? They need someone who can organize things and make things run efficiently. They need me. I should totally try to get a job here.

Oh wait, last complaint (for now): the heating system in Wallace. I don’t know about you guys on the other floors, but my heating kicked off about two months ago, so it now remains a nice average 56 degrees in my room. Honestly, this is Idaho, people. You’d think the University here would realize that it doesn’t matter if it’s “spring”—it’s not gonna start getting nice and warm till around May, and even then there’s a possibility of snow (it snowed a year or so ago in May, if I recall).

What sayest thou? Speak!
