For one reason or another I found myself watching “Office Space” this morning. I’ve never been able to relate to the movie because I don’t work in an office, I work on cars in a shop. Perhaps the thing that stood out to me was he found that he woke up one morning and wasn’t happy, so he decided to make a rather drastic change. I had some hopes that this past week would have brought me some good fortune, rather it brought stress and doubt.
I had made plans early in the week to take a few days off so I could try and register for college. To give you and idea about my earlier college experience I went to OSU or Oklahoma State University, not the big Stillwater campus but rather the smaller Okmulgee campus were I received an associates degree in automotive science. I had no idea what a big college campus was like, so when I arrived at the University of North Texas I was rather shocked, no so much about the size but the fact I couldn’t find any parking. How could a school that big not have any parking? Within a few minutes I was lost, but being lost wasn’t about to stop me from registering.
It was like a small town, my thoughts drifted to Okmulgee. I couldn’t believe how big the actual campus was. After an hour of aimlessly wondering around I found the office. Another thing I took notice was the ladies, I couldn’t believe it. At my campus you could count the number of girls who were enrolled on your hands, some of them, especially in the diesel programs. They were bigger and stronger than most of the guys on campus, not something I find attractive in a girl. So this development was a big surprise.
I picked up the required paper work for a transfer student and went on my way, this time to find another job. This was a task I didn’t think would present me a problem. After three hours of driving around and filling out applications perhaps this would be a little more challenging that I had first perceived. So perhaps later this week I might have some luck. *prays*
So things might not be going quite so well, I’ll try and remain as optimistic as I can. This blog is about adventure and folly, not angsty rants. I hope to get back to you guys sooner this week.
