My class schedule for this semester is not exactly falling into place right now. As it stands now, thanks to Columbia's baffling course registration system, I am registered for 7 credits (12-15 is the required range) and sitting on 14 wait lists. This is after the initial computerized registration process. I can't actually add or drop classes, nor is there any waitlist movement, until the first day of class. This, I submit to you, is dumb.
I'm currently enrolled in Federal Income Taxation, which meats from 11:15-12:20 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I'm also taking Financial Statement Analysis, which meets Mondays from 2:10 until 5:50. And I'm high on the waitlist for Criminal Adjudication, which I should be able to get into, and which meets Mondays from 6 PM to 9 PM. So I'm in or will be in 10 hours of class per week, of which 7 occur on Monday. Interestingly, one of the seminars I'm waitlisted for meets for 2 hours Tuesday mornings; if I wind up taking that and Criminal Adjudication, I'll meet the 12 credit minimum (okay because of the 15 credits I took last Fall) and I'll have 7 hours of class on Monday, 3 hours on Tuesday, 1 hour on Wednesday, 1 on Thursday, and nothing on Friday. I'm not sure what to think about that, other than that it generates a rather pleasing curve when graphed.
