Stress: (v) Staying up late trying to register, then having the server crash so you don't get into the classes you need to take. (The picture is of us all on our laptops trying to register. Note Kenz's face of panic.)
Now that is what I call stress. Let's start at the beginning shall we?
Once upon a time it was November 16, 2011. Every freshman on USU campus was staying up to register the classes we need for next semester.
12:01 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Mad rush to click refresh at the same time so we can register
12:02 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Campus wide panic as we realize the server is down
12:07 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Still freaking out. Someone had the brilliant idea to go find better internet. So we ask ourselves, where on campus has better internet. The INSTITUTE. So we rush there and sit on the freezing cement.
12:27 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Still sitting. Freezing. Entertaining ourselves by posting silly things on facebook, then waiting for everyone around us to comment.
12:52 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Freezing my appendages off. Decide to watch an amazing video full of really cool people who can do really cool things.
1:00 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Give in, pack up and go home.
1:08 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Watch Phantom of the Opera to try to hold back our tears. Its going to be a long night.
*Fall asleep somewhere in here. Not sure about the approximate time*
2:03 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Decide to go to bed. It wasn't worth it.
7:29 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Get a text message telling me the server is up and you can register for classes
7: 46 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011: Try to register for classes. Realize my greenhouse class is full and there is no waitlist option. Bitter and complete disappointment. *Excuse me while I go cry....Okay I'm back*
Well. There was my adventure of last night. I hope you enjoyed reading about it and not having to live it. Have a fabulous day! :)
