So it's that time again. The night of hell during which college students must out-muscle each other over the internet onto their university's less-than-prepared server and get first pick at their classes in order to make the ultimate schedule. Don't like mornings? Schedule your classes at night! Party every night? Take midday classes (to sleep off the hangover, of course). Whatever your scheduling fantasy, it doesn't matter if you're not among the first wave of students to make it into the system when you first become eligible. Was I among such a privileged group? You could say that. Until a glitch on the registration site left me no other option but to close my browser. MISTAKE. For the next forty-five minutes, I focused solely on hitting the refresh button more times than should be allowed, clearing my browser history only to revisit the same exact web page and on a few occasions, I had at least 4 different windows open. Windows, not tabs. In the end, I managed to get into all of the classes that I absolutely need and they all fit perfectly within the schedule that I'd originally crafted for myself. I'm not sure that others were so lucky. How have you guys dealt with the midnight terror that is course registration?
