The path to insanity

I generally like to have some idea of what is going on. Though I often don't follow plans, I enjoy making them, and if the opportunity arises, ignoring them completely.

That said, I currently am completely at a loss for a plan.

Over the past six months or so I have been trying to drag class information out of the administration here at UTP. I have sent innumerable emails to multiple people all to no avail. Eventually I decided to just try to work it out once I got here. I have been here a week now, and despite repeated calls to my contact attempting to set up a meeting to discuss class schedules, the appropriate people are never available.

Last night I talked to some other students and found out that some class information is to be had on the UTP website. I eventually found it, though it had been concealed very effectively. From this I discovered that three of the four classes I had planned to take were mutually exclusive. I found other options for classes and put together the most workable schedule I could (which was pretty miserable as class schedules go).

Today classes start, with my first class at nine, but apparently I can't go to them. Since the school was late in providing application information, I still don't have a student visa, and therefore no student ID. Because of this I cannot register for classes, and as far as the university is concerned, I don't exist. It's not like I could just sneak into classes either; I am one of four Caucasians on campus.

In theory we have a meeting in an hour to work things out, but the last two meetings have been canceled at the last minute.
So for now I am in limbo, with an endless of things to figure out, but for reasons beyond my control, unable to do anything about it.
Anything but wait.
