School Stuff

Well in case you guys don't remember, I'm here to study, not party or on vacation.

So... after going to the International Office on Friday, I went to my faculty as advised to meet my coordinator to go over courses and details and mucho mas...

Well, I went there and it was CONFUSING. I asked the fronk desk where I could find the coordinator, without remembering his name. She asked "Se llama Domingo?" and for a second that kind of sounded like the coordinator's name, so I said yes. She later said turn right towards the stairs and go up.

And I did. And got even more confused and lost. Like, hello, to WHICH floor??? There were FIVE floors, and I obviously did not have much time to look through EVERY floor. I went back down to the lobby to see the map of the building. Hmm... Spanish deparment was on the third floor. So I went there and it was hallways of very small offices for professors. Each office does not have its own room. Poor professors. I thought York Professors had a bad deal... But the offices did not have signs on so I didn't know where to go to find the coordinator... AY. You may wonder why I didn't ask the fronk desk again? Well, I was not in a mood, and the lady wasn't very kind and helpful to start off...

To avoid more disappointment and confusion, I went to get more groceries while going home. After getting home and having lunch, I checked the list of coordinators that the International Office had given me. The coordinator's name was actually Javier Santorre Grau... no way did it sound like Domingo at all... Whereas, Domingo was the coordinator of the French department. WTF. DO I LOOK LIKE I KNOW AND STUDY FRENCH????? Maybe the French are seen as... dumb by the Spanish? Just a thought...

And I thought York was pretty bad already with its bureaucracy.
