School Rant!!

[frellnik]

I've been waiting for over a month for my time ticket to come up so I can go online and register for my classes!  I am a third year student but most of my classes are 4th year classes.  So today at 3pm when my time ticket came up, I went online to register for my classes and found that 2 of my mandatory classes  (both of which are 4th year classes and 4th year students have been able to register for classes for a week now!) are FULL!!  They won't let me register for them because they are now closed!

These 2 classes do not fit into my schedule for next year and they aren't usually offered in the summer (well the phonology is but the other course isn't) which means that if I can't get into these 2 courses I will have to do an extra semester (if not a year) at Carleton!

So I filed a Registration Error Override Request for each of the 2 classes, but all it is is the name of the course and one line/sentence explaining why you want to take be let into that course.  1 line!!  and they are pre-fabricated sentences!!  I couldn't even tell them my own situation!  UNBELIEVABLE!!!

So my fingers are crossed that I get into these classes. Because I have no idea what to do if I don't. 

The other thing is that I need to have paper work filled out saying I'm a full time student in order to get my bank loan to pay for school and I have to get that all done before I leave for Japan at the end of the month!  I have to wait until all this schedule stuff is fixed before I can get the paper worke done and they have to send it to me by mail! 

WHY IS IT NEVER EASY????

That aside, I am looking forward to Friday.  I'm going to Blues Fest to see 'Theory of a Dead Man' and 'Great Big Sea'  perform.  Really looking forward to that.

That's one thing about college I don't miss - okay, so there are a bunch of reasons - sweating the whole registering for classes each semester. Crossing my fingers that the override goes smoothly.

Have an awesome time at Blues Fest!
