High School Registration for Will!



Registration is SO STRESSFUL!  Gah!

The registration program went live at 3:30.  We were ready and signed in right at 3:30, but... no link.

At 3:37... still no link.

Hmm.

Then Will noticed something at the top of the page.  He saw a drop down menu that currently said 'American Fork Junior High'.  We clicked on it and saw that there was an option to change it to 'American Fork High School'.  As soon as we selected the high school, THE LINK APPEARED! 

DOUBLE GAH!!

That meant that we missed 7 minutes of registration opportunity!

You might think that is overly dramatic, but we were unable to register Will for the specific English teacher we wanted because during those seven minutes, his English classes completely filled.  That's right.  Seven minutes.  He is the most popular teacher in the school.  Literally.

Ah, well.  Will is now registered for his sophomore year of high school.  I wasn't able to get the math teacher I wanted for him, or the US History class I wanted him to take (all US Hist classes were full long before sophomore registration because it is typically taken in junior year).  But, he has an excellent schedule nonetheless.

Here it is...

A Day
  1. Seminary
  2. Art Foundations/Woodworking
  3. English 10
  4. Computer Tech./Health
B Day
  1. Algebra 2
  2. Chemistry
  3. Computer Science
  4. Japanese 2
Classes listed next to each other with a slash are single semester classes.  The computer science class is a programming class.  Will is seriously interested in becoming a game design engineer.  He  knows that U of U offers an engineering degree specifically in game design and that is what he is aiming for.  This will be a good first step in finding out if that is truly where his interests and talent take him. 

Whew!  Glad that's done for another year!
