OU and parking crap!

As most of you know -- I start the last leg of my work towards my Bachelors degree in a couple of weeks. There's nothing I enjoy more than working full time and having a full load (13 hours) of college too. Who needs a life anyway, right? I have mixed feelings about it all really. I'm so ready for it to be over -- trudge through the 18 months and just get it out of the way, but on the other hand I think....18 months is a long time to do nothing besides study, work a full time job, oh and did I mention study?!

I had to go down to the campus today to finalize paperwork, get another lovely ID to tote around (I think I'm up to 5 now between military ID, student IDs and license...sheesh!) I also had to get a parking permit. I just about choked when he said it was $97.....$97 frieking dollars for a parking permit for every frieking semester?! I sure miss the junior college that I attended....parking was $5. That is DEFINITELY more my speed..ha! But what is even more ridiculous to me....is the reserved parking. I will pay $97 (per semester) and have to spend 30 minutes a day looking for a parking spot that's probably 2 miles from my closest class. If you're crazy enough, you can pay $889 for a reserved parking spot for the year. Um.....HELL NO I'm not spending that kind of money.....FOR A PARKING SPOT?! You have got to be kidding me!

Oh well...that's my rant for today...$100 parking permits....what an exciting life I lead right?
