One Registration Down...Many More to Go!

I successfully completed my first college registration today, with some guidance by my parents. So I can't exactly claim that I did it all by myself, but there were some issues and they were glad to help me over the phone. Plus I think I experienced my first phone call that lasted over an hour!
Unlike most high school class registration, this took place completely online and I only had to register for one semester at a time, instead of the whole year. That's because pretty much all college courses only last for one semester, which is kinda nice.
I had planned out all the classes I wanted to take beforehand, including my preferred times and locations. In a few cases, this actually worked perfectly. But as with most things in life, there were a few glitches.
I really wanted to take a class in fashion, since that is definitely one of my passions (read my other blog, Apparel Addiction, and you'll see) but when I tried to register for one of the basic fashion classes, it told me that I couldn't add it to my schedule because it was restricted for my major (journalism, or more specifically, the television news and video communication concentration). I guess it's because they only wanted apparel & merchandising majors in the class because of its relatively small size. Well, that was a definite disappointment. The other class I was blocked from enrolling in was a communication and popular culture course, which I thought would work well with my major. Well, it was also restricted due to my major, which didn't make much sense, but I wasn't too upset about it. Instead, I enrolled in a philosophy class called Moral & Social Problems which should be pretty interesting. And I also registered for a science class that deals with climate change--not because I'm an Al Gore follower, but because I'm considering meteorology as part of my broadcast journalism studies and this is a great stepping-stone class to more advanced ones that I'll be able to take in a year or two. Also on my plate for next semester are college comp (not really looking forward to that, but oh well), advertising (another journalism class that should be really fun) and human origins & variation (I'm required to take two science courses as a freshman; I'm already in wildlife ecology and the one I'm taking next has the required lab component, plus it sounded the most interesting of the science lab classes). So next semester should hopefully go well. None of my classes start before 11 am (yay!) and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I only have one class (and lab on Thursdays) and it starts at 2. So I could technically sleep in til noon, but since I can't really sleep in past 9:30 unless I stayed up til 5 am, I'll still be getting up around 9 or so. Really, for me, it's definitely enough sleep. I usually get to bed on school nights at 11 (well, that's when I get in bed--I probably don't fall asleep until midnight because of certain circumstances...ahem, my roomie getting back really late on school nights!) so I probably get about 9-10 hours of sleep, which is way more than some college students.
This is why I like to be able to choose my own schedule, though I hope next time things go more smoothly!
