Okay, turns out I went about this college thing all wrong.

[LeftyMom]

There's the "correct" way to do this, with a course catalog and a counseling session and a long line at the admissions office. This takes forever in addition to being a remarkable pain in the ass, and did not result in a very good class schedule and every last one of my classes were waitlisted.

The other way is to get one's baby sister, who is herself a student, to look through the online course catalog while I plug the class numbers into the registration system. This was faster, I did it in my underwear and I have a much better schedule now, including (TA DA!) several classes in which I am actually enrolled rather than waitlisted.

1. What are you studying?

[LeftyMom]

2. I'm doing my general ed stuff so I can transfer to a 4 year school

I plan on majoring in Communications and Poli Sci.

[NNadir]

4. Cool. Good luck.

[LaraMN]

8. Ah hah!

I'm a Comm major! Cool beans!

[GalleryGod]

14. As a Poli Sci lecturer-unless your looking for a totally

useless degree, you will have to "choose" a major between those two disciplines. But, you are far,far, and many tests and papers from that moment.

Good night & Good luck :smoke:

3. My dear LeftyMom.......

Having on-line registration has absolutely revolutionized college enrollments!

Good for you!

Have fun in school......this will pay off for you.........in so many many ways! :hug:

[LeftyMom]

12. Once I figured out I could restrict my search to classes with openings

it went really fast. :)

I hope so. :D

5. Everything's better when done in one's underwear

:evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

9. Except those things that are better done

after you take off your underwear. :evilgrin:

6. If you don't mind me asking, which college are you attending?

(The only reason I ask is because I work at a university)

Good luck with your classes.

10. One of the local community colleges

Nothing special really.

7. Never waste your time with

admissions and curriculum counselors. Blah.

[LeftyMom]

11. I think I have to get one to sign off on my transfer agreement at some

point, but so far I agree. That guy sure wasted my time.

[gkdmaths]

15. as an undergraduate transfer program

I would focus on meeting the requirements of the 4-year you wish to attend.

I never saw an advisor through two undergrad degrees but my grad work requires advisor approval of classes until after prelims and core.

The only time ever had to see an advisor was for an enrollment signature. but he liked me because I knew what I wanted to study, selected my own curiculum and handled my own paperwork.

dont let them waste your time!

and good luck in college. :thumbsup:

We mail our ratings back-and-forth, at the end of each term. Best invention for tenured faculty :smoke: since Philly Mag's "Take A Prof Out for A Shot " night.

You guys made my day....all of my students who are now reading this,
"Too late !" :wtf:
