Today is my day to register for my Spring 2010 courses at college. It's an incredibly competitive process; first come, first serve. Being a college freshman, I register AFTER the seniors, junior, and sophomores. Thus, the class selection is particularly tight among freshmen. So I log into my page on the college's site, go to the registration area at about 12:55 (My class's registration time is 1:00 PM), and, predictably, I cannot yet register. Sometimes, registration opens a few mines early, so I figure it's smart to stay on this page, and just refresh.

12:56. 12:57. 12:58. 12:59. No registration.

1:00 PM. No registration.

1:01 1:02. 1:03. 1:04. 1:05. STILL no registration. My roommate calls the school's office. The site's down. Information and Technology is working on fixing it. Another roommate, at his girlfriend's dorm in another building, reports that there is a small riot developing on his floor.

It is 1:57. I STILL CANNOT REGISTER! Some of my classes only have 6-7 spaces left. I'm clicking on the link as far as I can get before it times out. I've been hitting that link every three minutes for a good half-hour.


...AAAAAAAAAAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!! KILL!!! KILL, KILL... :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

*Ahem*. I'll keep you updated. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Okay, at about 2:45, I managed to get to the registration. i managed to get three of my planned classes (Readings in Humanities, Political Theory, Social Issues), but I couldn't get the science I need, so I went with Intro to U.S. History I. I'll get science next semester. At least this whole process is over... =)

Ahh... I'm glad you got some of your classes. :D Your time won't be wasted.

Good thing I'm a Junior in High School. I get a good priority over Frosh and Sophies. xD College classes... I'll worry about that, when I actually figure out if I'm going to the college I want to attend...

Ah, high school... Now you've got me reminiscing instead of working on my English paper! If you guys have any questions about the whole college entrance/application process, feel free to ask. I just took care of that stuff in September.

Also, I just got to check out the time of my schedule. It's pretty similar to this semester. Mondays & Thursdays, I have a 3:45-5:15 PM class and a 9:45-11:15 AM class. Tuesdays and WEdnesdays, I have mid-late afternoon classes (1 3-hour class each day), and on Friday... Nothing!

Ah. Then good luck, my friend. Good luck, and Godspeed.

Also, I would suggest you call your school's Information and Technology service (or whatever equivalent you have) and ask if there is any possibility of technical difficulties.

Ah. Lucky. I'm only hoping I don't have this much trouble next time. I'll have more of a choice, though, since I'll be a sophomore.
