Waiting and waiting on the waitlists

I had a friend in high school who wrote an article for the school paper title "What grinds my gears."  And every week he would write about 3-4 things that were rather annoying, and for the most part, the general population would agree with the.

Some examples would be things like:
~Cherry Creek school district (almost) never having a snow day, despite 3 feet of snow on the ground
~Freshmen parking in the senior parking lot
~People putting guy under the desks

As you can see, they were pretty basic complaints, nothing to political, or opinionated.

And so....

Here is what really "Grinds my gears"

Wait-lists.

I am currently on a very lllloooooooooooonnnnngggg wait-list to get into an Organic Chemistry lab.

We pay thousands and thousands of dollars in tuition, you would think they would be able to find a way to add in 1 or 2 more lab times.

The part that really grinds my gears is the fact that the lecture has a capacity for 200+ students, yet for some reason there is only enough lab space for 110 students.  What about the extra 90+ kids who need to take the lab?

I am not going to go any further into my rant and will conclude with this:

Wait-lists (and class capacities for that matter) really grind my gears.

A gift from the clouds...

Yes I know it has been a bit of time since my last post, but I have been enjoying a gift from the clouds!

In Colorado, "April showers bring May flowers," doesn't exactly apply here.  A more accurate choice of words would be, "April showers bring May blizzards."  So what do April blizzards bring?

SNOW DAYS!

Twice this week classes have been cancelled, and there for one exam has been pushed back a week, and an online quiz has been pushed back 3 days.  And to be frank, I couldn't be happier!

I am not normally one who likes snow days (no tuition refunds!)  but this little present from the clouds is a much welcomed one!   (Between the lines: more study time!)

So enjoy natures gifts my friends, even the ones that cause you to abandon your car in a parking lot.

May I borrow a few fingers?

As I spend my Saturday morning registering for summer school (insert a sarcastic yay! here,) i stumble upon what sounds like a VERY interesting course!! 

Medical Anthropology!

I have always been interested in people and other cultures, and clearly I am interested in medicine, and so I have a slight feeling that this course may have been made for me!!

The only problem is the this particular course requires a prerequisite (my immortal enemy!) that I will also be taking this summer.

Therefor, if I want to take the course this summer, I need to get an override form the professor who teaches the course.

So this is where I need to borrow a few fingers!

The request has been sent, keep them crossed for me!
