Junior Year Registration

Today was the beginning of the registration window for the upcoming junior class of 2011. 

The online registration site has said all along that registration would begin at 3:00 p.m.  I was glad, because that meant that everyone would have time to get home before we needed to get online.

Yeah.

Helena called me at 2:10 p.m. in a panic to tell me that registration ACTUALLY BEGAN AT 2:00!!!

Apparently, news of the early opening caused a firestorm of panicked texts amongst the students.

I was still at work!  She was stranded walking halfway between home and the school! 

After calming her down, I realized that I had (by some miracle) recorded her login info in the memos feature of my phone and Helena had a copy with her of the registration plans we had made last night.  I had her dictate the planned schedule to me and told her I would call her back if there were any problems.  Then I logged back into my work computer to see what I could do.

Fortunately, I managed to get her into almost all of the classes she wanted!  Some of them were down to 6 or less seats left.  The Government/Citizenship class she wanted was full, so I put her into a Psychology class in that time slot (she wanted to take that, too, so it was all good).  Also, she wants to take Ballroom, but that is an audition only class, so I filled in that time slot with two 'filler' classes that she would enjoy just in case she doesn't make the team.  If she makes the varsity team, we'll drop those two and add Ballroom.

So.  Here is her schedule as it now stands:

A Day
  1. English 11 Honors
  2. Latin 1
  3. Physics
  4. Seminary
B Day
  1. Shakespeare (1st sem.)/Modern World History (2nd)
  2. Digital Photo / Psychology
  3. Orchestra
  4. College Prep Math
The Shakespeare/Mod. Wld. Hist. will be dropped if she makes the varsity Ballroom team.  College Prep Math is because she is NOT mathematically minded.  It is like the Math Analysis class I took my jr. year.

She is also registering for Finacial Literacy this summer on the online highschool with her friend, Caitlin.  With that, and the schedule above, she will have all but 1.5 required classes and 5 elective classes taken care of.  She plans to take another class in the summer between jr. and sr. year, so she will only have 1 required class left by her senior year.

Whew!
