Class Registration Blows!
What a headache my afternoon was. Trying to build a class schedule that works perfectly has to count as some kind of art-form. Conflicting class times and my ineligibility to take my planned mathematics course for this school year?s fall quarter deflated my optimistic outlook on a breezy registration.
UCSD conducts its course registrations online along with its weekly email updates and printouts for school related forms. To an incoming freshman like me, the electronic process of doing things can be confusing at times even though I?m used to searching for what I want on the web. The website has so many options, sidebars and information on it that I get lost for minutes before I find what I?m looking for.
My experience today was definitely tension-filled. My appointment was set at 4:20PM and I didn?t want to be wait-listed for the courses I was aiming to take. That didn?t end up happening, but the calculus course I intended to sign up for wouldn?t let me do so. I was sweating and starting to panic. I haven?t taken the school?s math placement exam yet so I didn?t have a prerequisite to show up for the kind of calculus I wanted to take. I?ll have to take care of that when I set foot on campus a month from now.
Registering for Econ 1 and a breadth requirement for Sixth College was a little more straightforward. Advised by my counselor to take 16 units this fall, I decided to check out a musicology course that discussed the significance of the Beatles (worth 4 units on its own). Yes, it?s focused solely on the Beatles ? as in Ringo, Paul, John and George. I?m looking forward to what it?ll be like. I have a feeling that my fall courses are going to be manageable enough if I work hard and do all the work. The best parts about my schedule: none of my classes start before 9:30AM and the load of only three classes per day.
