And Shove.

"I need a hold removed"
I've heard this so many times today that i have this radar in me where i can detect when students are gonna say it. Its sort of like i can read thoughts a second before they say it.
And then there's the random
"I need financial aid"
After two of the biggest schools in my area merged, so many things changed apart from my haircut.
Before things were so organized it was almost like a secretary lady who shops at White House Black Market. but now things are like an actual college student who is running late to class while finishing a project. Today is the second day of registration and Juniors are so intense.
its midday and the line is all the way outside. I greet each and everyone of the students with a smile and with respect. but today i felt so bad for this one girl. Like all the others she needed a hold removed.
"Hello how may.." I say but i am cut short
"I need a hold removed. My ID is..." she beings. She was rushed and i was a bit happy for her quick and readiness. I catch everything even what she was saying to her friend.
"I hope the class doesn't fill up because its the only one i need and its only in spring that they offer it." "Okay I need your.."
"my number is " she once again is faster than me, maybe she was a runner or something that required her to be so quick.
I let her know that there is an hour wait which i feel so bad for. as the day goes by and the people come and go i wonder if she got into her class. Was i fast enough to get her into her class?" I go to my locker and get my belongings after work. today is Friday and I need a drink from the stress. I text my good friend to meet me in the bar at 9. Today felt like a shove.
