My Perfect Schedule!
Yesterday began course registration. After two years, I have yet to figure out exactly how the school determines who registers first and at what time. The best I can come up with is honors college students, athletes and seniors register the earliest. After that I think it has to do with credit hours, GPA or last name to some extent. A lot of my friends are in the honors college and registered for class yesterday so before I went to bed last night I was able to check the seat availability for each course I wanted on VIP. All of the courses still had plenty of seats, so I knew I would be able to get all of my courses without a problem.
I woke up at 8:45 am this morning in order to log onto VIP at 8:50 am which was my registration time. The registration time is posted at least a month in advance, so I've had it marked on my calendar for quite some time. Since I already had my ideal schedule and the course codes ready, I was able to log in and out in under 2 minutes time.
I looked at my graphical schedule and I am pretty satisfied. One perk of being a business student is no Friday classes. I also have only one Thursday class since my International Business - Exporting and Importing course meets on Tuesdays for three hours. I also have an 8 weeks Finance course that meets every Monday and Wednesday for three hours. This means that after the first 8 weeks of school I will be completed with a finance course and will only have four classes to concentrate on for the remainder of the semester.
A lot of my friends are studying abroad in the spring, so it was a challenge to figure out who was staying at USC for the semester and who to plan my classes with. Fortunately, I have fraternity brothers and other friends I have made that will have a similar course load as myself.
Have a great evening! I'm off to my Delta Sigma Pi meeting! There's free pizza tonight!
