I havent blogged in a while. Not like nothing has been happening – some has.
I learned some stuff about myself in the last 2 months that I have not been employed or a student anymore. My parents leaving in jan lead me to rock hill again and mario again.
Mario cheated on Kim. For the first time in my life I was the “other” one. Its so weird – i think i just went a full circle from being the girl who got cheated on to being the girl causing the cheating.
I stopped talking to mario but the painting i did of him hung over my fireplace making up for his non presence.
I saw him today after a month and a half. He reminded me of the guy who I had gone out with to Charanda’s and brought back to Roddey later that night. He was sooo happy, so full of life, so verbose.
I cried while telling him how much i want him to deviate from his life style. I dont know why I couldnt control myself. Whats it to me what he does with his life, why do i care? i ask myself that question all the time. I just dont know why.
I also met Eddie today – the guy from the JRP interview ( he did get the job). He is such a fun loving guy – i do think what draws me to him is that he’s so much like isaiah. I miss isaiah sooooooooooooo much. At times i wonder if he gave me some time if i would feel this way about him even now?
There is a job fair + Basketball game in the Time Warner Arena. Eddie will be there. i do hope to see him.
I had some training at CC’s office today. Messed around with a basic GL2 and Final Cut Pro a little bit. He is real awesome. I told him about CJ and his shady behavior. This is the exact conv we had:
Me: Do you know CJ?
CC: from…R..?
Me: yes..
CC: HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?
Me: somehow I just met him
CC: He’s a shady motherfucker
Me: I think he’s shady too and just want to get laid
CC: r u cool with that?
Me: I dont know
CC: let me rephrase that… will u fuck him?
Me: Only if I get that desperate…im not that desperate yet…

CC: You my dear, should never be that desperate and will never be in that situation. You dont need to do that to get a job.CJ just wants some pussy

ME: you think so? but why me?

CC: Coz u have that exotic thing going..when i went thru your dvd i was like damn she kinda cute and then i had to back track and focus on like damn where’s her videography shit..

He did say that he likes me because I am like an open book – totally direct. CC is real cool – I REALLY like him.

Sarim has been ill for a bit. He had a seizure and to go to the emergency room – it was one of the most dramatic things to happen in my life. For a moment there I was totally unprepared – I have never ever even thought about Sarim not being alive – I dont know how I will ever deal with it…he’s my lil boo…he now clearly calls me pishi and recognizes my pics and says pishi…im going to stay with him this weekend.

supposed to call mario once i get back in town. he did give me that feeling today i wont even lie – the kuch khaas hain feeling – the there’s something special – something very close – some new feelings kind.

i should go to bed now. toodles.

Rohena,

I apologize for the confusion you have experienced.  However, if you
register a vehicle on Wing Span, you do not have an option to request a
commuter or resident.  If you are listed as living on campus you, must
register on Wing Span for a resident permit.  The commuter permit can be
purchased by trading in the resident permit at Campus Police only.  As
for the information conveyed to you by Rebecca, she is quite aware of
this procedure, so I can only assume there was a communication break
down between the both of you.

Now for the parking citation.  

It doesn't matter if you have a resident permit or commuter permit on
your car, you are not permitted to park in any visitor spaces on campus.
So, if you would have had a commuter permit on your car, you would have
still received the ticket.

As for parking, you can park in the Johnson lot if you are a resident of
Roddey apartments.  However, if you are parked in a F/S space, the
vehicle must be moved by 7:00am.  So, I would suggest you check the
Johnson lot for additional parking.  We also have spaces in that lot for
Resident parking.

I hope this has cleared up some of your confusion.

Thank you,

Frank J. Zebedis

Dear Honorable Chief Mr. Zebedis,

While the issues I will talk about in this email might seem petty and simple, I am extremely irritated by the recent happenings regarding my parking situation and thought it’s best that I let them be known to you. I will sincerely appreciate your patience as this email is somewhat lengthy.

I am an international student who moved to Roddey on August 1st. At that time, I went to campus police to find out if I needed a parking sticker and was told no, and was given a temporary parking permit until stickers would be issued.
The first day that stickers were being issued, I went by again to campus police to get my sticker. I was told “Go to wingspan and do it if you are a student.”

I went to wingspan and upon completing the parking sticker request, I discovered that I had no option in selecting what kind of sticker I needed. It said that I was given a Resident sticker and that it would be available to me during move in weekend. I went to campus police immediately after and told them this is what the message said on wingspan and that I did NOT want a resident sticker instead would want to opt for a Commuter since I had the option. I was told an individual called “Rebecca” (I might be getting the name wrong) deals with those issues so call her. I was also told that if you live on campus – you HAVE to get a resident sticker – there is no option.

I tried calling “Rebecca” several times but got no answer. Either the call went directly to voicemail or there was no answer.

So I decided to give the Resident sticker a try. Needless to say, since move in weekend – there has been no spots available to park in the resident slots around Roddey, the commuter lot on Stewart Avenue or Johnson. I have been parking off campus and walking to Roddey which is okay – but why pay $75 for something that I cannot even use?

Things were already going badly with the parking situation when yesterday upon a visit to the West Center, I decided to park in a visitor spot in front of the West Center as I had been doing all summer. I did not know that if we have a resident sticker on the car we cannot park in the Visitor Spots. Now I have no idea about where I am supposed to park when I visit the West Center.

So yesterday I was given a ticket for parking on the visitor spot and I must let it be known here that YES, I do understand that it was my mistake. While I did not know we cannot park in the visitor spots, I do deserve the ticket for parking in the wrong spot. BUT if I had been given a commuter sticker as I have been wanting to get since the very first day, I would not have parked in a visitor spot, would not have been having the parking problems I have been having and would not have ended up with a ticket.

Today I went by campus police again to find out if I could swap my resident sticker for a commuter sticker and found out that it was in fact possible and that I would have to pay an extra $5 to do so. Now, why was I told the first day I could not get a commuter sticker? I did mention I lived in Roddey – but the receptionist blatantly told me I HAD to get a resident sticker. Now I’m having to pay an extra $5 for something I did not even want.

Chief, while the money I am having to pay is important, it is not the most important issue here. What is important is all those wasted trips to campus police that served no purpose whatsoever. If you want students to get their parking permits on wingspan, make sure the website is capable of enabling residents of Roddey to choose a Commuter sticker. If the campus police staff are here to help students, they should know EVERYTHING about parking permits and what residence halls allow what stickers and should not mislead students with wrong information.

While getting my first parking ticket on campus is annoying me to no end, what is annoying me even more is no one cared enough to hear what I was saying since the very first day. My three,four or five trips to campus police were not enjoyable and I dread the thought of ever having to go back.

Thank You,
-Rohena.
