Course Registration...it's the most wonderful tiiiiime of the year!

Course registration here at Muhlenberg reminds of Christmas.
You look over everything you want far in advance and start planning and dreaming...
Really, a good third of the fun is waiting for it to happen...just like Christmas. The best part of Christmas happens in the weeks leading up to it when you're feeling the Christmas spirit and dreaming of getting and giving gifts. Then Christmas actually happens...and it's good, but the best half of the fun is already over. Taking courses can be fun, but planning out all the cool stuff you'r egoing to take is much better.
Except in course registration all you get is a lump of COAL instead of presents.
It's that time of year when you plot out all of your hopes and dreams for the next semester and the rest of your time in college only to watch them get dashed to pieces over the week when all the upper classmen--and yes, even other people in your grade--get to register before you and everything filles up and drifts out of your reach.

I am a bitter and angry man...and not even the fact that the Democrats pretty much swept the board in the elections can take all of the sting out of it (I'm happy about that one though...don't get me wrong).
