Today was supposed to be productive. Instead, it became a masterclass in institutional inefficiency.
The Setup: No morning routine (mistake #1), followed by six hours of lectures that could have been replaced by a Wikipedia article, topped off with two hours of standing in registration lines.
The Punchline: They'll accept my registration tomorrow.
The Reality Check
College startup culture hits different when you realize most of your day is spent navigating systems designed to waste time rather than educate. Six hours of sitting in classrooms where information flows at the speed of molasses, followed by administrative processes that make DMV queues look efficient.
The strangest part? Tomorrow, when there are no lectures scheduled, I'll probably be more productive than I was today while "officially learning."
The Irony
We're paying for an education system that seems designed to teach us everything except what we actually need to know. Time management? Learn it while waiting in lines. Problem-solving? Figure out how to navigate bureaucracy. Critical thinking? Question why this process exists in the first place.
Tomorrow's Plan
No lectures means actual work can happen. Maybe I'll remember why I wanted to learn in the first place.
The college experience: where standing in lines counts as character development.
