Let me explain to you a thing. I go to this wonderful school called Orem High.
Big, beautiful building. I love it to pieces. It has everything I want: lots of windows, an excellent choir program, tall (attractive) students.
The only problem is the registration.
Today I registered for classes for my junior year next year (that's still so weird for me to think about) and I had this perfect schedule planned out: seminary, A Capella, AP Calculus, psychology, physics, English 11 H, ancient world history, drama 4, creative writing, sociology. I was so pumped and ready to go!
But registration. What happens is they put all the classes up, and open them all for enrollment at exactly 3:30pm, and you better enroll fast before the class fills up. You have to put your classes by priority and sometimes you aren't fast enough and you can't get it. I swear it's like Hunger Games.
I logged on at 3 and started looking at all the classes I wanted, making sure none of the seniors had taken all the spots. I panicked when I saw AP Calculus had only one spot open, and creative writing had only four seats left. Do you have any idea how hard that was to decided what to go to first? AP Calculus is the obvious choice for most, but I'm so in love with writing that I almost enrolled in that first.
After practicing my mad typing skills in the search bar for 25 minutes, I switched to the math page, reloading the page over and over until... 3:30. It was a mad dash for the last seat in Calculus but sadly, I didn't get the class, and since all the other classes were filled, that means I don't have a math class yet for next year. After speeding through the enrollment processes for each class, and getting all the other classes I wanted to, I quickly typed out an email and sent it to be posted on the wait list.
Since I have to put a class A3, where AP Calculus should have gone, I enrolled in health and sociology. Honestly? Part of me hopes I don't get into the math class. I know math is important, but I only need one more year of it and I can easily do that senior year and then I'll be able to take sociology like I wanted. But, regardless of my wants, it would still be convenient to get into AP Calculus.
This is the chaos of registration. Some people think it would be fun (*cough* Joseph), let me tell you: It's absolutely terrifying.
With love,

*coughing* It is. I used to watch my siblings, as they scramble, laughing and pushing buttons until they got exactly what they wanted. Sure they didn't always get what they wanted, but at least they have fun. Here in Mass you visit your Counselor, and they basically choose your classes for you. And just let me tell you, some of the classes they picked for me are awful. Especially since we're required to do stuff, such as watch rated 'R' (more or less) videos on police reports about serial killers. Just saying... I would much rather be in Utah for registration, (especially since it would have been at the school I have been dreaming about for almost more then a decade, and other people who didn't really consider it at first, (*coughing* Aubrey,) Got to go there instead....) Sorry if that sounded rude... But.... I REALLY WANTED TO GOOO!!!!!!
