CRS and Queues
10:46 AM November 04, 2008

Students beware! CRS and enlistment has become a bloodier and much more horrible system then ever before! (or maybe just in CBA?) bashing and complaing up ahead (You've been warned.)

Imagine, to enlist in a subject (even if it's required in your course and part of the block system) you have to write a letter to the college secretary and line up to have it approved before you can do anything. Why do we have to get it approved? Considering there was enough slots (thanks to the ESFs) and that they know I have to be put in the subject anyway, why waste everyone's time? You know we need the stupid subject. We used to have an okay system in CBA for doing this, now its all haywire. -_- To prerog, you have to write a letter to the department head and have it verified before getting your subjects enlisted. To block hop (due to schedule conflicts and such) you have to write a letter in triplicate and get it approved by at least 2 people of authority (college sec, dept head, etc.), to cancel a subject, you have to line up in the computer center and wait for someone (RVC) to do it for you. For waivers, requests for overload (important for graduating students) you have to again write a letter in triplicate and have it signed (again) by 3 people of authority. I've never seen so many letters flying all over the place. -_-

GAWD! Who invented this system and why are they so freakishly sadistic? Without this system, I would have been given my BA 123 immediately (as part of the block system) and would have been able to leave campus early. Instead, I had to write a bunch of letters and line up for 2 HOURS in front of the college secretary's office. And talk about inefficient. Since pretty much all requests have to be approved by the college sec, everybody with a letter (overload, prereq waiver, block hop, enlistment, etc.) all have to line up to see just one person. Have they ever heard of task division? Oh! And I forgot to mention that to cancel certain subjects, you have to go to different people to have it done. And to enlist for subjects in other colleges, you have to go and get letters again or something. bahala ka mawala. >_< How pretty is that overly tiring and sadistic system?

Calm me before I get an aneurysm. I know you probably don't understand half of what I'm saying, but I've never felt so frustrated during enrollment before. And for ***'s sake! I'm a graduating student!
