After talking to Andrew today about very important business, he unveiled to me a secret that the world has been keeping for months.

This week is the period for enrollment in courses for the Spring 2007 term at Waterloo.

And here I was caught with my pants down.

So, I search and search to see what the hell is going on? Are my math courses picked for me like last time? Why didn’t I receive an e-mail for all of this? In this age of communication, how can I not find anything? In response to this lack of information, I scrambled to find the Undergraduate Calendar so that I could figure out which courses were available. The pickings were pretty slim. Not because I missed the boat. No. That would have been my fault. Instead, the pickings were slim because there were no fucking options.

My choices in English were limited to trivial subjects that did not interest me. There was no option for Shakespeare, Science Fiction, or Mystery fiction. No. Children’s Literature was the choice I reluctantly accepted. This choice was only made after my interesting preferences for philosophy, psychology, classics, computer science and math electives, and history were all proven to be unavailable for the Spring Term. Oh, and would you believed I actually considered religious studies as a fallback? Yeah. But even those courses weren’t available.

Which begs the question: Why have a spring term if you are not teaching a goddamn thing? I can’t even take courses relevant to my major during the spring term? Do I just graduate ten years later than everyone else? Do I try to teach myself? Is Stream 4 fundamentally broken? Designed by chimpanzees from some sort of genetic engineering experiment? Tell me. Please.

Anyway, I’ve enrolled in my courses. I’ve got an image so that those of you attending Waterloo can have a gander. Also, all of you can scoff at my forced decisions. Hahaha. Laugh it up.

Also, if anyone can throw the name of a good plug-in for images my way, I’d appreciate it. Since…this schedule is difficult to see.

And, for those who don’t/can’t recognize the course codes, there is Linear Algebra, Calculus, More Java, English: Youth and Adolescence, and English: Children’s Literature.
