lierdumoaDude. I spent half the day making phonecalls. I really hate bureaucracy.
Info: UC Berkeley information office.
Me: Can I get the number for the chemistry department?
Info: Sure, it's ______. I'll transfer you.
Me: I want to take freshman chemistry in the fall.
Whoeverthefuck Dept: I'm sorry, you have the wrong department. You'll have to call information.
Info: UC Berkeley information office.
Me: Can I get the number for the *chemistry* department?
Info: Sure, it's ______. I'll transfer you.
Me: Okay, so I want to take freshman chemistry in the fall.
Grad. Chemistry: I'm sorry, you want undergraduate chemistry. I'll transfer you.
Me: I plan to take freshman chemistry in the fall.
Chemistry: Oh, let me refer you to ______.
Me: Yeah, so I'd like to take freshman chemistry in the fall.
Random office secretary: Oh, I'm not the person you want to talk to. The whole office is in a meeting.
Info: UC Berkeley information office.
Me: Please refer me to the physics department.
Phys. Ed.: Physical education department Can we help you?
Me: I'd like to take a physics course for electricity and magnetism.
Phys. Ed.: I'm sorry, you need to go to the physics department.
Me: *@#^%&!!!!!* Okay, could you transfer me to that department?
Physics: What class do you want to take?
Me: Electricity and magnetism. Can I get the contact information for the professor?
Physics: Oh, well do you want to take it for ______ or ______? What's your major?
Me: I just want to take a physics course that teaches electricity and magnetism. It usually comes right after mechanics. *What the fuck? Do you have the class or not?*
Physics: Oh, you can't pass out of mechanics with AP credit.
Me: Well, I have transfer credit from ______.
Physics: Oh, well there's 7a, 7b, and 7c. You want 7b, for electricity, magnetism and thermodynamics. It's a year and a half long program.
Me: I just want to take a semester class.
Physics. Well, it's a year and a half long program.
Me: Okay, so I want to take electricity and magnetism, and that class is...
Physics: 7b. Electricity, magnetism and thermodynamics.
Me: And how long is 7b?
Physics: It's a semester long class.
Me: *@#^%&!!!!!* Alright, that's what I want. Can I get the contact information for the professor?
Physics: There are two professors. ______ and ______.
Me: *waits*
Me: And their contact information is?
Physics: Well, ______'s e-mail is ______ and ______'s e-mail is ______.
Me: Thankyou very much. (translation: eat shit and die)
