Bitch-ho, her dumpy sidekick, and Macquarie University
I LOVE SUSIE STEEN
At Macquarie Uni’s international student orientation, you will experience being snarled at condescendingly, read to aloud as thought you are stupid, and ignored. Sounds fun, right? Well that’s how Tanya Domney treats her adventurous journey- bound foreign exchange students.
Granted, a lot of people on enrolment day were late and rudely talking, but that is no excuse to lose paperwork, cause long lines because of disorganization, or turn your back on sweet innocent Charlena while she’s asking a decent question.
Needless to say, the phrase for the woman, “not warm and fuzzy,” dubbed by alumni Patrick and Michael is hardly accurate. She is bitch-ho and her dumpy sidekick is no better, as she looks at you spacily- as though she’s been smokin’ up every five minutes since breakfast- yesterday.
But, I must admit, she sweetened up after the lost my papers causing me to register late, get signatures on 10:00 am Friday, enrolled on the computer Monday at 3:00 and final approval on Thursday at 3. I hate bitch- ho for causing me unnecessary stress. Damn bitch-ho.
I LOVE *STARS*
“I be lovin’ me some *STARS*.”
We had to get signatures for every single class we wanted to take. So with 18,000 students on campus, standing in long lines can take all day while getting signatures for 4 different classes (assuming they are all in different departments, as mine were) getting on the computer to enrol, then getting a final signature, and finally, a Sam’s card lookin’ picture ID.
Charlena and I had our own difficulties beyond the beauracracy. We had to change our schedule 10x because the Uni either:
1). doesn’t offer the class until next semester
2). doesn’t offer the class until 1999
3). cancels the class
4). or the class conflicts because they will possibly be only Mondays at 3 and Thursdays at 10. Nothing consistent, only absurd.
Not to discourage you from applying, it is nothing but pure enjoyment.
