Stressful day

September 18, Sunday, 2022

The only reason for suddenly coming from home to the university yesterday was to fill the form for the semester examination. So today at 9:30 am I went to the market after breakfast to print four copies of pictures that will be used in my form. Previously the cost per print image was $0.05 but now costing $0.10 usd to print each piece of image due to inflation in the country. It was 10.30 AM when he printed the picture and left for the university. I hire an autorickshaw from the city market to the university and from there it takes about 15 minutes to reach the university.

I was in a hurry because if it was past 1 PM to fill up the form, they would go on lunch break and no more papers would be submitted after coming back from lunch break.

While filling the form I remembered that I am not only filling my own form but I have to fill my friend's form along with my form. Since my friend's house is next to mine, he did not come to the university but asked me to fill his form, and since there is no problem if one fills another's form, I did it selflessly.

It took me about an hour to fill the form. It was around 12:30 PM to fill up the form. The next step in the form filling was to go to the department to get the signature on the form and to pay the amount in a bank with that form. It cost me about $60 in total to fill out the fourth year form. But while filling out the form I realized I came in about $15 short of the total amount. At that very moment I had to sell 0.13 Bitcoin Cash.

I paid my semester fee to the bank with the remaining money. But after depositing the money in the bank, I realized that it was past 1 pm. I nevertheless rushed to my university hall provost with all my papers to get his signature. But as I got used there, being a university student is never desirable from anyone, especially from a teacher who is paternalistic. The distance from the university hall to the academic building is about 700-800 meters. Our university hall provost sent me from the academic building to the university hall about 4 times on various pretexts just for one signature. For these 2 hours from 1 pm to 3 pm I had to walk about three kilometers just for one signature. By the end I was in such a state that I could no longer walk, I was so tired.

But at any cost, I needed to finish my entire work within today because I can't come to the university again and again for this same work. So by raising my morale, controlling the anger I had towards Sir, after waiting for two and a half hours I got the signature from the hall provost. Another reason for waiting so long is that he took a lunch break, for which I have to wait for an hour separately. But I am thankful, despite waiting for three hours, I managed to finish the work today. I am thankful to time because time has taught me that some people are teachers in name but they are inhumans behind the scenes. I don't know what teachers who don't understand the value of time will teach their students.

I can enter my room around 4 pm. But my condition was such that I could not go to the washroom to take a bath. After 7 hours of not eating, I was extremely tired. Back to the room took lunch and slept for about two hours.

It's not the first time this has happened to me, every time when I have to pay the semester fee I assume that the day is wasted because I don't have time to do anything else that day.

It is unimaginable that our country is so far behind in other developed countries when all academic activities are done online.
