first day of classes!

Hurray for first days! well, this one didn't go *Quite* as expected.

I got to class on time and all, that was fine. It was the part where Bob and Jim started talking about how the schedule was "Completely wrong" that got me worried.

Basically, the "Amazing" software the college uses for online registration decided that the one schedule the teachers created was not right, and it needed to be broken up into two possible schedules. This resulted in teachers and students being double booked, classes being set up at times where the teachers weren't going to be around, and all kinds of great goodies like that.

To top it off, since the admin staff are on strike, the online schedules will not be corrected for a while yet (AKA when the strike is over.)

Luckily, we were able to get the new schedule off of Rod, the new program coordinator. Not nearly as pretty as my original schedule...sigh.

Although, now I get to sleep in on 3 out of 5 days :-D but then again, I'm in class till later on most days D-:

hooray for first day technical difficulties!! maybe tomorrow will be better...

School part II: The Return

Alright, so, it's about a week before classes start up and I am ready to go! can't wait! although, apparently the support staff for the college have all gone on strike. hurray.

So what does this mean for me? I have no idea at this point. Trying to find out more info is like trying to pull teeth. Seems like everything should continue as normal...but I have my doubts. At least it's not the faculty on strike, so classes will continue as usual.

I'll update more once more info is released.
