FIRE 1101 : FIREwall’s Guide To Registration

#1: Spend several nights pouring through the course catalog, coming up with the perfect schedule that allows you to take all the classes you want to take at all the best times for you. Smile broadly.

#2: Frown when two of your five classes aren't offered this semester, but smile again when you switch those classes for your carefully chosen backup courses.

#3: Frown again when your backup classes aren't offered either, and dig up a couple of humanities classes to take instead.

#4: Curse mildly when you realize that your top two classes are conflicting, and force yourself to take that math class you've put off so far.

#5: Curse again when you realize that your class schedule has a class at 8:00AM, 12:00 PM, and 6:00 PM every day.

#6: Discover that your registration block is at 8:00 AM on Sunday morning. Set up three different alarms with fully charged batteries to maximum volume to make sure you wake up on time.

#7: Wake up at noon on Sunday to realize that you still slept through all of your alarms.

#8: Frantically log in to OSCAR to discover that every class you wanted to take is already full, and the lab science you wanted to knock out of the way is restricted to freshmen only, preventing you from registering for it - but somehow allowing 50 seniors and juniors to sign up for it before you could.

#9: Smack your head against the desk and start filling out override permit forms, just like you did last year.
