Registration day. The day I'd been preparing for, documents sorted, payment made, everything ready to go. I thought I'd learned from my procrastination habits and got ahead of the game this time.
Plot twist: being prepared means absolutely nothing when the system decides to implode.
The Bank Situation
You know that feeling when you're waiting for something crucial and the other party just... disappears? My bank pulled a Houdini act with my payment receipt. Not a single response to the 20 emails I sent to 10 different people yesterday. And guess what? Today's their holiday. Perfect timing, right?
The Administration Plot Twist
But wait, there's more. The administration, in their infinite wisdom, decided registration day was the perfect time to introduce some mysterious extra charges. I have everything they asked for, the payment is already made, but apparently, that's not enough anymore.
The Reality Check
It's 7 PM now. Instead of being registered and ready for the semester, I'm sitting here with a headache that could power a small city.
Here's what I've learned: sometimes you can do everything right and still lose. Sometimes the system is so broken that your preparation becomes irrelevant. Sometimes bureaucracy exists just to remind you that logic has left the building.
What's Next?
Tomorrow I get to try again. Maybe the bank will remember how email works, maybe the administration will explain their surprise fees, maybe everything will magically work out.
Or maybe I'll just add another chapter to this ongoing comedy of errors.
Either way, this headache and I are calling it a day.
This is part of my daily documentation of the chaotic journey through college and building projects. Some days are productive, some days are like this one.
