All right, here's the deal. I have to take 18 hours of courses next semester (for reasons relating to my attempt to get into the theatre department for a double major) and I was looking to take Theatre History, which is in the TD (Theatre and Dance) department. The TD adviser told me to do this so that it'll increase my chances of getting accepted into TD.
Students actually have to have a form approved and signed in order to take more than 17 hours... so I got that form all taken care of, and I went to register for the TD. I was going to switch my Brit Lit class out for the TD, because there's a feature on the registration site that lets you choose a course to
^ break in writing in which I realized that I could actually do what I was real angry about not doing earlier, thinking that I had to wait until registration opened back up.
take off your schedule in the case that you get into the one you want instead. Following the adviser's advice, I put Brit Lit as the swap for both courses, and waited to see whichever one I got into first. The waitlist wasn't very long for either one, it was 6 people long for the earlier class (which I wanted) and 12 people for the later class (which I didn't really plan on getting into). I assumed that I would only get into the earlier one, so I planned my entire study/life schedule around that. But then I somehow actually got into the later class first... and then last night while I was asleep, got an email saying that there's a problem for registering me for a course (assuming the earlier time). That problem probably is the fact that I was registered for the limit number of hours of a course anyways, and it couldn't the course to my schedule, because it would push me over the limit.
So I checked my registration times to find out when I could drop courses (because I would drop the later time and see if it would let me into the earlier time) and the next time registration opens for me is THE DAY OF CLASS. I was real mad when I realized that I should have changed my swap class to the one I had just gotten into, so that if I got into the wanted time, I would be in that and out of the unwanted time. I was so mad because registration wasn't even gonna open up for another few days.
So I started writing this post. But then I realized that I could actually switch the swap class now. So I did it. And now I'm waiting.
