Sep. 1st, 2010 06:35 pmSo, it was International Student Orientation and I signed up to do the scavenger hunt, which meant being assigned to a location on campus and waiting for team to come, and then giving them a little spiel about our location and stamping their card and sending them on their way.
I volunteered for the library, in part because yay library, in part because they don't do the theatres and I don't know any of the other buildings particularly well, and in part because last year when I came in, no one explained most of the ins and outs of the library to me and so I was befuddled for weeks. And I wished to preclude that.
HOWEVER, most of the teams that came through didn't care about the library (or the learning centre where they will help you write like not an idiot) and talked right over me and were generally rude and irritating and it made me frustrated because seriously, ESPECIALLY the first year international ESL students NEED to know about the writing centre because they will help you not fail.
And the girl who looked so terribly put out that there are no lockers for students to keep their textbooks in made me die inside.
