It’s That Time of the Semester

It seems we have gotten to that point in the semester where attendance drops off. Some of my classes have gotten frightfully small. In fact, one of my classes has less than 20% regular attendance. I really like it that way. Basically, the people that are left are the ones that care, and most of the idiots are passed out somewhere from partying.

Despite this natural drop-off in student levels, parking is still a mess. This is telling about how badly OSU plans things. Parking has always been abysmal at best, but residential life parking has only gone from bad to worse. I want to know who the genious is that decided building new housing on top of existing parking is a good idea. Sure, they did try to allieviate things by building a few makeshift parking areas and further shuffling of commuter parking, but it is haphazard at best. It’s far from enough. One thing the “powers that be” have pointed out to excuse their mess is the increasing enrollment rate. Well, that’s not happening anymore. Now they don’t make excuses, they just don’t say anything at all. I’m sure this sort of thing isn’t exclusive to OSU, but it’s just another sign to me that this place is rotting from the head on down.
