Of Missing Class and Registering for Next Semester

Missing Class

I missed my first class of the semester last night.

I didn’t want to (I actually hate missing school, always have), especially because I paid good money to be in class, absorbing the information the teacher imparts during the lecture. I also really didn’t to miss class because it was Business Law, my favorite class this semester. image

But, when it came right down to it, I had been exhausted and not thinking clearly all day, and I was starting to feel sick. If I hadn’t had class that night, I would have gone home after I completed the duties that had to be done. Most of the day, I wanted nothing more than to go home and curl up in bed and go to sleep. I decided that it would be better to miss one class than to truly exhaust myself right before the Thanksgiving holiday (we’re flying to Michigan to visit Ben’s family) because being sick while traveling is even less fun than it sounds.

I’ve never really taken precautions to head “being sick” off at the pass. While I was sitting lethargically on my couch last night, drinking Emergen-C, I kept thinking, ‘I could have gone to class, it would have been fine.’ But then I would stand up, and my body would remind me just how exhausted it felt. I ended up getting 10 hours of sleep, and I feel much better today. Skipping class was probably the right call.

Registering for Next Semester

I have been waiting for weeks to register for classes. Patience and me are not good friends. And to make it worse, the school kept sending out emails saying, “Don’t forget, registration opens soon!” and “Check online to see when you’re scheduled to register.” And I’m thinking, ‘You’re killin’ me, smalls! Stop reminding me that I have to wait X more days before I register!”

But, today was my scheduled day, so the first thing I did during lunch was log on to the website and finally click the “OK” button on the classes that have been sitting in my queue for the aforementioned weeks. And now it’s official! Next semester, I’m taking:

ACCT 6030 – Financial Accounting (T-R, 5:00 – 6:15)
ACCT 6070 – Managerial Accounting (R, 6:30 – 9:15)

What’s sort of funny, is that next semester will basically be the accounting class I took this semester, but it much more depth. I’m really excited about that.

*Deep sign of contentment* I love registering for classes. It’s so exciting! (It should be news to no one that I am a huge dork. Get over it. :P)
