All Hail

Please place your right hand over your heart and with your left hand, extract a crisp twenty dollar bill from your wallet, purse, or carrying device. Burn the paper currency as a symbol of your undying loyalty to The System. Repeat the verse:

The System is never wrong. The System is our truth and the building block of mankind’s existence. We will always speak highly of The System. We are products of The Glorious System and we cherish all that it stands for.
All hail The System.

With recent questioning of the validity of the Pledge of Allegiance by the more scholarly minds of society, I think it is appropriate to bring forth a new pledge. This Pledge will be accepted by all because it in no way, shape, or form includes the word or concept of “God”. Moreover, it encompasses an ideal by which every citizen of this free state abides. It proclaims the omnipresence and supremacy with which this structure rules. I am speaking of The System.

...I’m just being dramatic. I was so furious with a phone call I received this morning that I decided to blog. I am determined to keep this as clean and respectful as possible, so making satirical comments about “the way things are” seems to be the only other outlet besides swearing my head off.
This morning, I received a phone call while I was still asleep (I guess making it literally a “rude awakening”) from my CSUN peer advisor. She called to ask why I hadn’t registered in classes and that they are pretty much all full. I told there that she is mistaken and I registered over a month ago. She tells me that there are no classes showing up under my name.
Well after much argumentation , we concluded that I did not pay my fee on time, and was therefore dropped from all 15 units. I am aware that it doesn’t sound that bad, but registering for classes is no joke. It’s like baroque composition. It’s clockwork, making it all fit together. Getting the professor you think you can work with most efficiently. Getting the hours right, getting the courses right. I WANT TO KILL.
It’s ridiculous to think that I will be able to get any classes back. They’re not only “full”, as she put it, but the classes are exploding at the seams.

That is all. I am no longer furious. I will update as necessary.

Damn bureaucrats.
