On the Title

Roi-Et a.k.a. "101" is a city in the northeast of Thailand. I spent more than "One Night in Bangkok," and was on my way to Roi-Et. It wasn't my final destination in Thailand, but the place where I grew the most. I gained a tolerance for spicy food, and learned a little dialect called Essan-- a mixture of Laos and Thai. I learned that it's not the destination but the journey that matters. Just as random as my adventures were in Thailand, so is my life--it's like living in L.A. (oh by the way L.A. is another nickname for Roi-Et).

"F" is for Frustrated out of my mind

Now that UVSC has become UVU things have gotten worse not better. Today I went to get my new UVU ID/ATM card and they totally screwed me (the first time was kinda my fault). My colleagues and I walked all the way down to the Student Center from the Liberal Arts building (which is quite the walk), and we briefly talked to the UCCU reps to get our cards. Since I already have an account there, I went on down to Campus Connection to get my ID. So, before we left Dorice told us to bring our student ID just to have, of course I am a motard and didn't bring it, because for some reason I thought my actual ATM card would be enough. The guy at CC told me I needed my Driver's License or some form of photo ID, being the lazy person that I was I tried to convince the guy that Dorice could prove I am who I say I am.

So, I ran back to the office to get my student ID (because my DL is such a pain to get out of my wallet) and ran back (part of the way). When I got back Dorice was still waiting to get her ID and I had to wait in line once again, and by the time I rolled up to the counter Kim caught up. I proudly, showed them my ID and they said that I needed my DL because my UVSC ID had expired. I just yelled at the guy "YOU'RE SCREWING WITH ME!" (and not in the "bad"way) Yeah I was infuriated. The other guy said that I just need some photo ID. My UVSC ID was only expired for a month, and then he has the gall to say that "it's the law." Then Kim tries to get her card too, and they won't let her. It's so frustrating, it's a good thing they served a chocolate fountain!

Later Kim went back with her DL sans UVSC ID, and they tell her that she needed both to get the new ID with all the bells and whistles. HOLY HANNAH! Someone shoot me now. What are they going to ask for next . . . . our SOULS? It's so ridiculous and frustrating. The guy just said that he would give it to her anyways. Which is what they should have done the first time.
