It seems that I have part only of bad luck with the universities I’m starting to think that maybe going to university is not for me, that some kind of evil force is plotting against me and to tell the truth, it’s doing its best!

Facts: FanFest is taking place this year between 25-27 August. The confirmation at the Philosophy University is between 28-31 August. The registrations for the Modern Languages University are between 23-29 August. My plan was to go to Bucharest on the 22 nd of August, to register at the M.L.U. on the 23 rd and then on the 24 th to be back home and head to FanFest. For the confirmation at the P.U. I had my aunt from Bucharest take care of that. Sticking to my excellent plan I went and bougth the train tickets to Bucharest.

Now comes the revolting part. On the M.L.U.’s site it is said that we need to have all our papers in original and if we don’t, we have to bring some kind of a written statement from the university where our original papers are. The same thing was written on the P.U.’s site and when I went there in July to register I didn’t need that thing nor did I left my original papers there. I wanted to check if at the M.L.U. was the same so I gave a call. Nothing. I called again - nothing. Hm… I wrote an e-mail. Nothing. Then I went and bought the train tickets. When I came home from town this night, at about 10 o’clock, there was this e-mail waiting for me from the M.L.U. informing me that without my original papers or that written statement from the other university, I cannot register at their university. This means that I have to change my train tickets for 28 - I arrive in Bucharest only on 29 the last day of registration at the M.L.U.!!!!!!!! What if I don’t make it???? This is simply too much for me I mean, I called the university, I e-mailed them… and not a response till it was too late! Thanks a lot, you jerks! What do you care if I have to travel almost 700 km just to register at your university? What do you care if I come there and can’t register? Uh, I’m so pissed off about this!

There’s still a good part in all of this: my mum never even mentioned not letting me go to FanFest. I mean, I can’t do anything until 28 August so why not have a good time there and then start and resolve my problems? Now I can only hope there won’t be any problems with the transportation to and from Rosia Montana. Last year we had so much luck finding that minibus that took us to Rosia and came back for us. I really have to be back home until 10 o’clock at night to catch the train for Bucharest. It’s going to be a hell of a trip. Let’s hope it will be a trip with a happy ending
