Advising and a Citation

I went to UTA today and got advising done. Alexa Rains was my advisor this time. She was about to enroll me in classes. Unfortunately, it turns out I have a Satisfactory Academic Progress hold on my account. So, she explained she had to e-mail someone to lift the hold. But she said on Monday, she will update me on the classes. I am looking forward to it. She will e-mail me. I had a great line up, including the Phil 2311 course, and the Russian Culture class.

Well, I left a bit disappointed that I had not been enrolled. But excited because I did get advising done. I know what I need now. But as I got in my car, I was surprised to see a slip beneath my wind shield wiper blade. “Yikes” I thought. So, I went and grabbed it. Sure enough, I had been cited for parking without a permit. But it was kind of confusing to me- the sign at the front said, “Permit or Pay parking only” So, I went and paid. I thought I would be ok once I had paid. But I guess not.

I was on the way to the UTA Parking Office to appeal. But they want the appeal submitted online. So, I had to submit a picture of my citation, and a screenshot of my receipt with HONK, for my parking bill. I explained there, what I just explained here. Basically, that I thought if I paid I could park there. It will take three weeks for the appeal, during which time I can still buy a parking permit. Since I am planning to go full time, I will do exactly that. It was a productive day, but also a day filled with frustration at getting a parking citation.

I was going to include the picture and the screenshot but I decided not to, because of personally identifiable information. Maybe, if my appeal gets approved I will share that.
