I’m now officially a student here. I registered this morning.<\/p>\n
In orientation, the graduate secretary said to get there early, because it would be the best way to ensure getting the classes that you wanted. I figured, “hey, it starts at 8. 7:15 should be plenty of time to be in front.”<\/p>\n
Not even close. There were 25 people in front of me when I got there. As a result, one of the classes that I wanted was filled before I could get into it. So now, I’ll be taking two of the harder core courses in addition to two optional courses instead of the originally planned one and three, respectively. I hope that this fall term doesn’t follow Alabama’s<\/a> precedent of always being much harder than the spring tems, but it’s already shaping up that way.<\/p>\n After that, I went to get books. If there’s one thing that I did not miss about college, it was shelling out hundreds of dollars for textbooks and knowing I’d never get that money back. Oh well. I guess I’ll look at it as “building my personal library” or something optimistic like that. I looked at Amazon to see if they happened to have them for less, but no such luck.<\/p>\n I had to get up really early to get to campus, so I’m not going on a lot of sleep. I’m going to take a nap, and when I wake up, I’ll do my workout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m now officially a student here. I registered this morning.
