Registration Troubles ):

Despite being a sophomore who doesn't need many core classes, I thought registration would be a piece of cake this year. Not necessarily so, as abnormal psych filled up an hour before I could register. I'm not disappointed about not being able to take the class, as it's generally offered at least one semester a year. My problem is that not taking this class messes up my schedule. I had hoped to take musical theater workshop, but the days and times conflict with other psych and upper division electives.

At this point, I will have 3 hour classes Monday and Wednesday afternoons AND I wouldn't start at 4:10. While I dearly value the luxury of being able to sleep in, I'm afraid I won't get anything done. Also, I wouldn't have classes Fridays. This is a mixed blessing, as three day weekends sound awesome, yet am afraid I'll be bored. I guess not sure how I'll be able to handle three hour classes and having them spread out.

I'm also hoping to get into this marriage class, which is a "theological perspectives class." This class is taught by a sociology and theology professor, and I would get credit for both my upper division theology class and upper division class outside my major. Because of this class's popularity, I can't register online because I need a signature from one of the professors. Even though my advisor told me I wouldn't get in because seniors go for it (they register first), there are still 34 spots available. So I may be a lucky one who can get in as a sophomore, having taken world religions in the spring and am currently taking Bib Trad.

So far, I am lucky to be able to get into both of the English classes and fine arts section I wanted. The English classes I'll be taking are literary studies and multi ethnic lit. Despite the fact that I'm going to have to get up at 8:10 and the material won't be the most interesting, the professor is supposed to be VERY energetic, so hopefully his energy will make this class bearable. My multi ethnic lit class should be interesting. I haven't had either of these English professors yet, and I have heard that they're hard graders. This shouldn't kill me--if anything, it should make me a better writer. Fine arts should also be fun. My friend had the professor last fall and really liked him, not to mention an easy class and cool field trips (plays, art museum, concerts anyone?)

On the bright side, I'm meeting with my fantastic advisor tomorrow, and he'll help me figure out what I should do. I feel so lucky to have someone as wonderful as Herman to assure me that everything will be fine and work out.

Now, off too bed as tomorrow will be a new day...(:
