Grrrr. Stoopid School!

So a week ago Monday I registered for two classes, one of which was the Applied Psychology that I'm required to take for my degree. This last Tuesday I had stopped at the place I usually work to take care of some stuff on my desk and so had a chance to talk to my supervisor. I asked her if it would be a problem, now that we have flex time every week, to take a day class during the week and have that be my short day and then have to work a full day on Fridays. She said yes right away with no hesitation. So I was gonna go add a Graphic Design class today and my classes I registered for were dropped on August 10th. No explanation of why! I think it's because they sent me an immunization form that hasn't been sent back in yet. I clicked on the registration holds link though where it specifically lists immunizations as one of the reasons for holds and it doesn't have anything listed. Wouldn't be a big deal except that now the psych class is full and I can't get into it!!!!   Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Also, why do they even need an immunization form from me? They already have one on file that says I was immunized for EVERYTHING on June 7, 1990. It's not like I could have become un-immunized since then... And all those 1990 immunizations were in addition to me having had them all done when I was a baby, so I'm double protected. Phooey. So it looks like I'll still be taking the useful-but-not-required class that I had registered for w/the Psych class just in case I couldn't take a Graphics one. 
Am I ever gonna graduate???????

I'm thinking I might need to listen to some Happy Happy Joy Joy by Dibsy...

Oh, that sucks! Stupid bureaucracy.

Having been dealing with the immunisation thing -

I'd say that what glitched was the tetanus booster (which is an every 10 years thing, unlike the others), but you'd assume they'd have caught that earlier.

Isn't there a way to get the prof. to override you in? That's how I got quite a few of the classes I needed.

Not if it's full. :(
I think because of the funding or something, but you can get waivers for things like pre-reqs but they will never allow extra people to register for any class.

That's not cool. Our profs always had the choice to let people in. We just had to convince them we were worth it.

Right now I am very grateful that they close all my classes to anyone who isn't an ID major, and we are guaranteed a spot in every class we need, when we need it. Of course, it means that we have very little choice in the other in which we take the classes, or how many we have at a time, but we never have to worry about being frozen out like that. That really sucks.

Well at least i have the ok from work to take a Graphic Design class during the day, so it's one that's harder for me to get fit in than the Psych which is offered most every semester as a night class.
