Parking

Parking at UAH. What a pain. Really I shouldn’t complain since I never have a problem parking and always find a very good spot where I want to park every day Monday to Friday. However, that spot I park in every other day is pretty far from where my classes are just because I don’t want to have to deal with parking anywhere near Morton Hall. I much rather be running out in front of cars that have to stop for me because I have the rightaway as a pedestrian, but I really must say that I feel sorry for the people always trying to park near the major areas during the day. I say during the day because I have a “night” class (I was confused when I first heard that my 5:30 class was considered a night class) at the Shelby Center and I’ve always parked in the same general spot every time. And there’s hardly ever any other cars in my way. For those that tend to have issues parking at Shelby, I would suggest parking in front of the Engineering Building as there’s typically a few slots open there even in the middle of the day and is a short walk away. I would complain about the parking costs, but I keep remembering that the pass is good for 13 months if I’m not mistaken, so there’s no worries there and it only gets slapped onto the tuition once which helps me in calculating what my spring tuition will be since it will probably be lower than the fall.

On a brighter note, I do find it funny watching people that can’t properly back out of their spaces and they take forever doing it, stopping and going even when no other cars are near them or even in the lane. Reminds me why I park in the less crowded areas.
