Registration and Easter Weekend
Hey guys!
Wednesday night the rest of the incoming sophomores registered for classes, but we've been having a lot of trouble with our internet connection in Featherman so most of the people went over to Alfond where there's wireless internet. I stayed in the Featherman first floor lounge because we have wireless there too. I hung out down there for about three hours with my friends waiting for midnight to roll along.
Registering for classes is a race. It honestly puts your typing skills to the test because if you don't type in your class numbers fast enough someone could beat you out for the last seat in a class that you need. I'm embarassed to admit that for about twenty minutes I was practicing typing in the numbers so that I could send in my requests as quickly as possible. At 11:55 I signed in to U-Online. Your advisor will give you an "Alternate Pin" which is the last thing that you have to type in before typing in your class numbers. So I typed my alternate pin in at 11:59 so that I could press enter once it was 12:00. So I'm sitting there on the couch in the lounge at 11:59 and I didn't press anything or touch anything, but it signed me in for some reason and I started freaking out because you can't be signed in before midnight, so I had to close the screen and reboot it all. I closed it down and then opened a new page to get back as fast as I could. Then the clock changed and said midnight, and everyone signed in all at once so the internet was going as slow as ever. It ended up taking me four minutes to get to where I needed. Needless to say I didn't get into one of my classes, Abnormal Psychology. I was so bummed out, but at least I got into all of the others.
Sometimes if you can't get into a class that you need, you can go to the professor or the head of the department and they can override it for you, but from what I've heard, none of the psychology classes are allowed to be overridden.
This weekend is Easter so I've been home for the past two and a half days. I've seen most of my family, but I'll see the rest tomorrow. Yesterday was Good Friday, so I went to see the "All...I Have Done For You" play that my brother and sister were in. Last night I went to the movies with my cousin and my friend. We saw the Hannah Montana movie. It was not terrible, surprisingly, but I wouldn't pay another $8.50 to see it again. Today I went to play ultimate frisbee with my cousins and a bunch of other people who are regulars at our weekly frisbee games in the summer. It was pouring so we were all soaked and my hands felt like they were going to fall off. Tonight I'm going to the movies again, but this time to see Adventureland? I haven't heard much about that movie, but we'll see I guess. I can't wait for the Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow at my Meme and Pepe's. Wish me luck in finding the Bonus Egg!!
