Enrolment

So today was registration. And it wasn't that bad, I just went up stairs, down stairs, into classrooms, handed people stuff, was handed stuff by people, and got out about an hour after I hand gotten in. The only hitch was in the second to last room, where they print out your Enrolment Contract or some such thing and ask you to sign it. But something was wrong with the computers in the room so it took forever for the darn thing to print. Once I was done with enrolment, I went to the student center to get my Canterbury card. In between the bridge nearest the student center and the room where I was issued my card, I was accosted by 6 separate Christian groups, all wanting my membership, as well as plenty of other groups who wanted me to sign up, register, or buy something. Ironically, the one group I actually wanted to talk to (MetroCard, who I had heard were offering to put $10 on a MetroCard if you also put $10 on a MetroCard) couldn't do anything for me: their deal only applied for when you got your first MetroCard, and I already had one.

Finally, I got my Canterbury Card and went back to my room to get online and change my courses. Y'see, I had only signed up for 3 classes for this semester, and I needed to take 4, so I went to go add a course. It was significantly harder than adding a course at UPS, and it wasn't helped by the fact that the system kept on crashing. Plus one of my courses (Conversational Maori for Absolute Beginners) kept on conflicting with my proposed fourth course, so I had to keep on trying. I eventually ended up with a class on the Treaty of Waitangi, which should hopefully be cool. I shall update as time goes on.

Tonight I might go to a "Speed Meeting" event. It's probably going to be kinda lame, but I guess it shouldn't hurt to meet more people. Anywho, I'm signing off now

Bai bai,
