Sep. 15th, 2015 10:46 pm*grumbles* Today was going to be a good day and then turns out YL isn't properly registered for classes. International students don't get their financial aid until they're registered for classes. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that I'm not helping her work through it, or because the last graduate secretary left with no instructions for the new one, or the new graduate secretary doesn't have access to the enrollment backend (which is absolutely a total fucking problem; we're going to the undergrad affairs person a lot as a result), or whatever. And apparently there is a last day to register for classes! UGH. So hopefully she doesn't get a late fee.
Met the other international today and had to help her too, and get her stuff sorted, so, yay, but sigh.
Spent all day at the HUB helping with the international orientation, first tabling for the GSA, then sitting on the peer panels. They split the students up into several groups, and rotate them between about the same number of panels. So, that was pretty exciting stuff.
IT ALSO RAINED TODAY! A lot of today even! It was kind of gross and I had to spend most of the day in wet socks, but that's okay, because rain! But it also got cold and with the AC in the buildings it was FREEZING so good thing I had an extra shirt in my office to change into for some part of the day.
Finished the day by watching Labyrinth in the nearby theater! It's not a popular theater so they're starting to show old movies every Tuesday. Still kinda hard to believe that Toby's all grown up and making films himself (so excited for Yamasong!) especially after watching that movie.
