Parking at UNC sucks. It's even worse when there's a home football game.

This year I got a dorm very closer to the center of campus after spending three excurciatingly painful years at Hinton James. This dorm also is adjacent to a huge parking lot which is the best parking lot if you have campus stuff to do.

Last night, I got lucky and found a spot almost right outside my room.

All day I've been watching people come into this parking lot, looking for a spot ... they usually dejectedly drive away after a few minutes, unable to find a spot. Everytime this happens, I laugh at myself ... "HAR HAR! I GOT A PARKING SPOT"

Now the problem here is that I have a car, but I don't want to move it. I know if I move it, one of these parking-spot vultures will swoop in and take it, and I won't have a parking spot tonight. Grr.

But I also haven't eaten a decent meal all day (working on Tokki), so I'm about to go out and eat a dinner ... but this means I must give up my parking spot! Ahhhhhh! Damn moral dilemmas....

I was thinking more along the lines of 3AM as the designated drivers bring their cargo of stumbling, intoxicated college students back to campus.

That, and then there's the pressure of EVERYONE bringing their cars onto campus on the weekends when the parking enforcement is not in force.

Yeah, campus parking sucks. Heck, I lived out on the edge of NCSU campus, and if I came in too late on a Saturday night, I would be unable to even find spillover parking.
