Why I love FSU...NOT!
Mood:  don't ask
Topic: Grad School
I've never been a Seminole fan...and now, after being in Tallyhole and going to FSU...I can positively say that I was correct for not liking this school. This school is more messed up than ANY other that I have been to...I have not even been here an entire semester yet, and I've had more problems than anywhere else.

Today, I came to school to use the Master's computer lab to finish a report so I could turn it in by noon. First off, I pay over $200 per credit hour...and I can only imagine how much Doctoral students pay per hour, but neither lab has a single flat panel monitor in the labs, nor do they have what I would consider "good" computers.

The computers are set to revert to a certain setup every time they are rebooted or logged into, that means that you have to update everything...everytime you want to use it...like: Adobe Reader...Real Player...anything from Macromedia...and any instant messenger has to be re-downloaded and reinstalled EVERY time!

Back to the original point, I show up to school looking for a place to park. I found a spot, this spot is in a gravel parking lot, and they use painted logs to mark the spots. I parked in front of a log that signified a parking space. I went in to the lab, finished my report, turned it in, and was going to leave when I noticed both my car, and the girl that had parked across the log from me were missing. Yup, towed! Gets even better...the log that marked the spots had been moved to now signify the end of the row, and was now yellow on top, which marks a "no parking" area.

I go to parking services and bitch about this...as you can imagine, they couldn't care less. The fat dumb bitch that I had to talk to kept acting like I was accusing her of moving the log. I guess it couldn't sink in through her weave that I was not accusing her. I seriously doubt that she could have even bent over enough to grab the log, much less have the strength to move it.

So now $80 later, I have my car and a ticket...which I'm going to appeal. I'm also going to start checking the lot on a consistent basis to see if the log gets moved often. I have a feeling that either the school or the towing company are doing this to make extra money. If they are...
