College Registration Sucks!

My friend, one day, you will find yourself knocking on 50 and looking back at college and wondering where has all that time gone and how much you would give to endure that all over again.

Don't see it as a obstacle. See it as an experience of a lifetime, that lasts a lifetime.

The experience will last a lifetime at my rate. Three more courses for liscensure, then off for a master's degree, and maybe one day if I last that long a P.h.D.

It only took me from '97-'06 to get my B.A. in English.

For a lot of people I think it is their first, shocking experience with a massive, faceless, inefficient bureaucratic quagmire. That's okay, it prepares you for the workforce later on.

At least I'm sure course registration will probably be better these days. It wasn't that long ago, but I remember doing telephone registration curled up in a blanket on the couch in the wee hours of the morning with one hand on the phone hook and the other on the "redial" button....

My son has had some issues this semester getting everything lined out as he is in the process of transferring to a new school. More than a few headaches.

Good luck with the transfer. May it be as easy as possible and prosperous.
