Registering for Classes in a bit

It’s less than half an hour before I finally get to register for my Spring Quarter classes here at UCSD. The waiting has been a pain, especially after hearing most of the people in my dorm already talking about the classes they’ve gotten into because of their earlier registration dates. Because I came to college with less credits than most of the people here, I got stuck towards the back end of the priority sign-ups.

I blame my high school for not offering enough of a variety of Advance Placement classes. But what can I do about it now? It blows my mind to hear about students who are already at Junior standing with the university because they have completed so many AP and summer classes prior to coming to UCSD.

I’m just holding my breath and hoping that there’s just enough room for me to get into the three classes I want: CAT3 with Peter John (the best professor I have come across here thus far!), Intermediate Spanish 2B and a Biology GE focusing on Nutrition and Diet. If it reaches the point that I have to waitlist, I won’t really mind too much. It looks like I’m not taking much next quarter but these three classes combine to make up 15 units. The limit that a student can take next quarter is 19.5. I’m practicing a balancing act between my classes, work and my social life. I’m not too stressed and I know my limits now. I’ve learned a lot since last quarter for sure. And my grades are a testament to that.
