registration drama

So, I realized my advisor was right when she told me I was crazy. I have sooooo many classes I have to try to take before I graduate from college, and I know that seems a long way off, but I made a list of all of my general requirements and all the classes I need to take for each major and concentration and, bearing in mind I'm planning on studying abroad a semester and interning during an interim, I have very little margin for classes that aren't necessary.

And of course this semester, I am in the 3rd to last group to register of the entire college. I didn't realize that I needed to declare a major in order to get into the prerequisite class for the English major................ and when I emailed the chair of the English department she made it sound like she would help me get in, but when I got there she was like... well, I can put you as number 6 on a waiting list. And OF COURSE as SOON as I sit down to register for my classes, Media Studies is full. Like if I had come just like one minute earlier, I would have gotten in. So I didn't know what to do... I kind of wandered to various people and all of them basically were like, "hmm yeah you really DO need to get into these classes, but... umm... i don't really care, i'm not going to try to help you." So I'm in some stupid justice class and theater. And so I'm walking back in the cold to my dorm, feeling sorry for myself, wondering why I'm paying money to go to this stupid college that is making me take classes that aren't going to benefit me in the future at all, and I get back... and I realize I lost my cell phone. So I go downstairs to see if I left it there while I was watching the OC, come back to my room and of course my room mate locked the door... which had my keys in it. So I went to the bathroom and... cried lol... and once I got that out of my system, the door was unlocked, I went back to registration and found my cell phone, realized that other people had been screwed over a lot worse than I had, and then I went to Bible Study and it made me feel sooooo much better. The leader came and talked to me afterwards, just to kind of get to know me, and he asked if I would be interested in being on the leadership team that prays for Bible Study an hour before it starts... and he also prayed that I would make some good friends lol. I don't think it was a pity prayer, because I told him I was fine... like I DO have friends here and I do have really good friends at home that I see every weekend, but he was like, no, I think you really need to find some good Christian friends here, too-- and so he prayed that God would do that for me. :D

And then, to make things even more okay, I ran into Teagen in the hallway, who is also double majoring in English and Music and is a Junior... and she told me everything would work out all right. Like a lot of people who major in English start their majors their Sophomore or Junior year, so it won't hurt me too much... and I'll be done with my music major by first semester my junior year... So, that made me feel a lot better. :D

And that's about all I have to say about this week.
