Tired!!!

Today is supposed to be good day... The day started off with a bright and sunny morning. But nothing went smoothly today. Well, here it goes:

As usual, we need to seek the approval from the board of lecturers in order to add or drop a course. The time given for us to undergone all those ‘exciting’ process is in 2 weeks time. And tomorrow, Friday is the due date for us to add a course. We(me and a few friends) have been hunting for 2 lecturers for the past one week (we only know that the lecture is crash with the lab session on last Wednesday if not mistaken, so not much time for us to act ). We arrived at campus, say 11a.m., then the hunting season begin. We walk from a place to another place to look the lecturer. Opps, he is not here and there too. So we ask for his location then we walk back again. We walk back and forth a few times, then suddenly as if the grace of the angels finally fallen on us, we saw the lecturer walking towards us. Both of us are so happy!! We get hold of his precious signature. It’s silly of us to think that the hunt have ended and we can finally hand in the forms to the office then can online to register it. None of us realise that the exciting part is still waiting for us...

After we gotten the signature, we need to get the approval from the head of department for that particular course. So we walk till the other end of the campus to reach his office. He was back after lunch break just after we have wait for a few minutes. All of us are having a same thought: we are so lucky today!!! No need to wait for a few hours... Haha.... We wait for our turns then we went in.

WE: Dr, can you do us a favour? We need your approval to drop this and join that.

Dr: Tell me your reasons?

We: oh, the lecture is crash with lab session. We discussed with the lecturer in charge of lab session d, it is not possible for us to change it. So we need to change this class to this and this day. We already got the approval from the lecturer who is going to teach us for this course.

Dr: No, I’ll not sign on these forms. Because so and so... (He talks a lot and we just skip that)

In the end, we didn’t manage to get his approval. We went to a few lecturers and some of them are also head of department. They also agree that the reasons given don’t seem good enough to reject our request. They did help us to fight for it and we’ve lose. All our time and energy spend on this are going to be wasted just like that. Sometimes, all these procedures of getting approval in a certain things can really spoil our days. We rush here and there for the whole day and ends up for nothing. 

Anyway, tomorrow we shall fight for it again and this will be the last fight! Wish us luck will you? 
