So, as most of you are aware, I registered for classes earlier this week. Well, attempted too, anyway. Turns out that the night I was eligible, when I attempted to do so, the system was not letting me register. Apparently, when I emailed my advisor, who is also the Communication Department Chair, he told me that he had forgotten to clear me into the system that allows me to register. Now, I think anyone would be pissed—no matter what their class standing is. However, I, as a SENIOR, was extremely frustrated and pissed because 3 out of the 4 class I planned/needed to take in my last semester of college ended up getting filled just in the night seniors registered. So, when I saw that this had happened, that only fueled the fire that I had going in me. It has been a while since I was as pissed as what I was that night. Having been up since 4am that day did NOT make things easier for me either—I was very tired had a migraine and was stressed. So, basically, I stayed up that day for almost 24 hours all for nothing!!
After trying to register for about 30 minutes, I finally gave up and emailed my advisor who actually emailed me back the following and told me he had forgotten to clear me into the system. Seriously?! I wanted to kill him. Once he finally did clear me in the system I did immediately try to register for my classes only to find that 3 classes I needed were booked. One of those classes being my senior seminar course needed for me to graduate this May. I then went back to my advisor and reamed his ass. I demanded that he let me into those courses and especially the senior seminar—since HE was the professor. Even though I will probably get hell from him now, he finally did register me into those 3 classes that I missed out on and told those professors to allow it.
I am just glad it all worked out. I would have been really pissed should things not have worked out as planned and kept me from graduating in May. But, really…How the hell did/can he forget to clear me in the system?! I mean, I understand he deals with a lot…but, jeesh...Talk about slacking!!!
that sucks man, the same thing happened to my roommate.
