I've done it--against all odds, I have found a system more unnecessarily confusing and pointlessly complicated than Colgate housing selection. I was thinking that it might only be a tie, but no, St Andrews matriculation/registration actually beats Colgate ResLife in the ability to make a simple process as painful as possible.
Class registration and matriculation took all morning and then some. We had to go to advising first, which involved chatting with a department member for each subject we wished to register for, so I spent twenty minutes with the Divinity representative trying to convince him that no, I did not want to take Theology in Africa even if it was a great new course with only five people registered and he clearly needed more to sign up. My real question was when my Greek class meets, and while I'm signed up for the class, I still have no answer, so apparently I'm supposed to show up to a seminar on Tuesday that may or may not be included in my course. I'll just find out when I get there! Clearly I'm thrilled. And instead of Theology in Africa, I'm signed up for Theology of the Musical (along with at least half the Colgate study group) even though Georgia may have a conniption and once again try to make me change my mind. My third course is hers, with the rest of the study group, on heresy in early and medieval Christianity. It should be an interesting semester...
So my schedule will as far as I know involve class on Tuesday morning, all day Wednesday, and Friday morning...not bad. And I still don't know if the Tuesday seminar is part of my schedule or not, but I guess I'll find out!
Oh, and I finally figured out my mailing address, in case you want to send me cards or letters or Oreos or all of the above. :) It is:
NH/1004 New Hall
North Haugh
St Andrews
Fife, Scotland, UK KY16 9XW
Anyway, I'm off to wait for my phone interview with the Tony Blair Faith Foundation for an internship in London this summer--wish me luck!
