Scoffs for Peoplesoft

Today was course registration. And to think, I was so looking forward to it. Apparently I had forgotten what course registration is exactly. So what did I forget? Well, for starters, the would-be five minute process takes upwards of an hour because of Peoplesoft, which seems to use elderly people as servers (they crash a lot). Peoplesoft crashed for everyone about 50 times in the course of 50 minutes, leading to a lot of extra stressed, already-stressed college students.  Here's an analogy for you

Is like putting all of the
School into one room

Really. The server, like a small lecture hall, is meant for maybe a hundred people at a time. However, when you have 3000 students from the freshman class using it at once, it tends to fail at its job miserably. So please, Cornell, get a new program that can handle more than Haverford's freshman class (about 200 people if you're wondering).

In the end though, things worked out and I got a number of classes which look awesome. I'm taking one on children's literature (I expect a lot of difficult reading for that one), another on sex and marriage in medieval times (in which we memorize difficult flowcharts, such as this one), another on current events and the news (don't really know what to expect here), and one on food and sexuality (where I presume I'll learn that my love of Izzes is considered feminine and/or homosexual). Then I need to take one more course, which I still need to figure out. Ta ta for now.
