First day freak out!

My first day of school was going well until 3:30pm; I had done a bunch of washing (and hung it to dry), I had corresponded with many people via email and Skype, and just as I was writing all of my class names, times, and locations into my planner, disaster hit.

When you apply to school at UNSW, you first have to create a “myUNSW” account. This account is used to apply for school, accept your offer, enroll in classes, pay your bills, etc. It’s a very important website with a lot of information on it.

I was on this website today looking at my class timetable, and like I said earlier, was using it to enter all of my classes’ information into my planner so I would be super organized and well prepared like the good student I am. When I enrolled a month and a half ago, I knew I had classes Mon-Thurs from 6-9pm at night. I have known this for again, a month and a half. When I clicked on the class timetable at 3:30pm it somehow refreshed and showed that one of my classes was schedule for Monday from 2-5pm.

Of course I immediately started freaking out. How had I not seen this? Haven’t I made sure I had everything right and was aware of everything for this semester? I kept signing in and out of myUNSW to make sure it wasn’t a mistake on its part. Then finally I called Adam freaking out, hoping he’d be home soon to give me a frantic ride up to Uni. Being the calm guy he is, he made the suggestion I call the university and speak to someone about it.

I called the COFA student center and talked with someone who then talked with someone else, and told me that they could not find a teacher to teach the original Thursday class so they switched it to Monday. They did all this mind you, without telling any of the students. The person I talked to also reminded me that, “the university has the right to change…blah blah blah.” Thank you UNSW for freaking me out on my first day back to school. As I was getting off the phone they told me there were working on an email to send to all of us enrolled in that class. It’s been awhile; I’m still waiting for that email.

I still have my class to go to tonight so there will be another post about that tomorrow. Hopefully it will not be titled, First day freak out, Part II. Now my schedule is as follows: I have two classes on Monday, and one Tuesday and Wednesday. I guess it somewhat works out though, because now I have the same school schedule as Adsy. Plus, I can still watch/participate in indoor soccer on Thursdays, and best of all who doesn’t love a four day weekend?
