A word on scheduling.

So I registered for my fall classes about two months ago, getting all the credits I need to qualify for compensation. I live about an hour from school, so I try to clump my classes into two days, Mondays and Wednesdays. It wasn’t until today that I realized that I have FIVE hours between my film and math class. What the hell am I supposed to do for FIVE hours!

Some friends recommended a knitting or underwater basket weaving, but I politely declined. The problem is that this only happens on Mondays and it is incredibly hard to get a class in the middle of the day that meets only once a week. It’s not like “underwater basket weaving” is bad, it just meets on Mondays and Thursdays.

Ive spent a good part of my day looking for a class to fill the gap. Ive spoke to three different counselors, “crashed” four classes, and have walked the campus seven or eight times with no success. I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m screwed. Any ideas of things I could do?
