the wonders of pre-registering  

so yes, the time of year for university students to frantically choose courses based not on what is necessarily the best for them, but on what courses their friends are taking.

and then there is the ever frustrating "lets all get online and register at the same time so we can slow the internet to a turtle, no, snail like pace while everyone continues to panic about not getting into the course they, i mean their friends, want."

and last but not least, a bio-med student who is neither fully a computing nor a life-sci student realizes that the course code assigned to him (phgy 214) is not listed under a pre-req for a course he wants to take. BUT phgy 210/212 IS a pre-req...but IT WAS THE SAME FRIGGIN COURSE. I SAT BESIDE THOSE DUDES IN 210/212. I EVEN FELL ASLEEP ON ONE OF THEIR SHOULDERS, AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME STUPID PROFESSORS. stupid phGAY 214 (get it...its a clever play on the course code...showing the gayness, no sorry... non-heterosexualness of the course, and actually the entire situation)

speaking of school, heres some advice for y'all. when the prof asks you to define 'matrix', say "The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth." do it.

and last but not least, propsective students will quickly learn that the bell curve can either be their best friend, or worst nightmare.
