Spectacular Story

Registration for spring and J-term were pretty hectic. Yesterday and today have been crazy days. Basically Megan, some others, and I could not find a J-term class that would satisfy ANY requirements and there was no way I would take a class that wouldn't help me graduate. I was motivated to get any class that I could.

Yesterday my registration time started at 1, but I visited my advisor before then because I wanted to hear what he suggested for classes. He suggested four classes that were full and it seemed like we might have been out of luck, but he found out some positive information. Rumor was that they were going to open some spots in Dinosaurs, bookmaking, and exploring music, all of which are necessary classes for me. He said they would add the spots last night around 5 or 6.

I registered for my spring term with no problems, but I also registered for a back-up j-term class just to make sure I could get something (even though it was only a 1 credit class). So around 5 Meg and I started the crazy refresh party on the computer. This went on for an hour or two until we pretty much gave up. No new spots had opened so we took the rest of the night off. Megan called me this morning around 1:30 and told me that there were 5 open spots for the dinosaur class. We both tried dropping our backup class but for some reason the system wouldn't allow us to drop or add any J-term class. Megan basically went crazy and kept trying while I had some very peaceful sleep.

Meg came here around 7:30 so we could go talk to the people in the registrars office about signing up for the new j-term class. It was freezing outside but we made the long journey. Once we got there and they opened it was pretty much in and out. We both signed up for the dinosaur class. Meg went to her 8:00 class and I headed back to my room to read for Philosophy.

On the way to my 9:15 class some people told me that the teacher for Dinosaurs was very hard and that I should drop the class. I would have but I had no other class to take. I was supposed to have my 9:15 class but the teacher never showed up to play the movie so I was going to meet immediately with Megan to drop this new j-term class. She ended up going to class so I had to make the "long walk" back to my dorm.

I looked on the registration website and there were five openings in Discovery, a nonlab science class that I wanted to take. I texted Megan and told her and we planned on meeting at the registrars office after her class. Well, I ended up getting into Discovery and Megan also got out of the Dinosaur class and it taking Bus. Tech. It was a long and very eventful day to say the least.

This story might have sucked to you but it was very exciting and entertaining for me so that's all.
