Yea, this was supposed to be my junior year (really semester) abroad. I've spent nearly 100 dollars today on phone calls to the university I'm heading to, my school here in the US, and the transfer program. For a while they were saying that if I wasn't in Beijing by Monday they weren't going to let me attend. I've tried to call my regular school to contact them, but they won't call because, despite having an endowment larger than the GDP of most countries, they're too stingy to spend 9 cents a minute on the phone call. I have to call each one up and relay the messages. You'd think they could use emails but no, that'd be to simple. This is getting riddiculous.
