A Little Rant

Today should be a good day. I should be happy that I'm done with grading my finals and all I have to do is post grades. I should be happy that all my Christmas presents are paid and purchases. I should be happy that I'm getting a free lunch and it's discount day at the bookstore. I should be happy that I'm going to a wedding tomorrow. But people bug me sometimes and I need a mini rant.

Rant #1- I went to open a bank account yesterday for residency and I didn't have a proof of residency (like a bill or something- mainly because I don't get mail at my place unless it's from friends or something. So I said I'd come back the next day. I told her I couldn't come that day since I'm proctoring an exam. So I get a message this morning "reminding me" to come and turn my stuff in. I know! I'm not going to wait at the bank before it opens to show you my stuff. I have things to do! So hold your horses. If you don't hear from me by like 4:00, then call. But at 9:30! Come on now. I'm not an idiot.

Rant #2- Why is establishing residency in a state so ridiculous! The point person at BSU is pretty unhelpful and isn't detailed in his answers and I've been going back and forth with him for like a month now. So annoying. Why do they need so many thing! I have an Idaho license, which they don't give you without proof of residency, so why can't that be OK? I have a voter registration, which they also don't give you without an Idaho license. I have a bank account (or maybe not seeing as I'm a moron and might not bring by my stuff). And what the heck is an abandonment of domicile? Can my parents sign something that says I've "abandoned" my room at their house? It's ridiculous and driving me crazy. Because I don't want to get an Idaho license plate. They already took my license, I want to at least keep my plate.

Arghhhh. OK, rant over. Now onto happy thoughts. It's gonna be a good rest of the day. The end.
