 I wish my macroeconomics professor gave us the study sheet she promised us instead of showing videos about Keynes and Hayek in a rap battle :(

I also wish my comp teacher spoke English well and didn't go off on tangents about Taoist philosophy and belief at least once per class.

 My school does not know how to handle registration at all. Last time they said it opened at 7 a.m. - 5:15! This time, 6:15!

And not to mention every goddamn seat in every goddamn class is reserved (I'm mostly taking entry level courses because I'm undeclared and choosing between two majors) because we're taking way more students in next semester than we can even house, to the point where people are protesting on campus about the lack of housing.

I had to stay up all night to even have a shot at getting any of the classes I wanted and I got none because I was two minutes off :argh:

 My university somehow hosed up its internet so that we can't connect to anything powered by Google while we're on campus. Including our student emails. I'm not an IT guy but how does that even happen :psyduck:
And no indication of when it'll be fixed. Considering the change machines next to the laundry rooms have been broken since the start of the year, I don't have much confidence.

And its really frigging difficult to hook my computer up to an ethernet port because of the way the rooms are laid out.

 Registration opened at 6:45. I tried to register at 6:47 and every section of every class that I needed to take is full :suicide:

Your school holds morning classes on the day of registration? That's awful. Both my undergrad and grad institutions have registration on days when no classes are scheduled.

It took me an hour and a half to register for my classes on Friday. It's my final semester so all my classes were non-negotiable and I had to get into all of them in order to graduate on time. I made it but it wasn't fun worrying early in the morning for ages while I waited.

Holy gently caress I wish my school did this :( We have classes as normal. Gotta give my school props though, this time around they actually announced when registration would open in advance.
