Registration Blues

I'm so excited about my last full-time semester here at UGA. Classes start on Monday so everything in Athens is kind of building up--kids moving in dorms, a little more traffic, people milling around downtown, etc. I, however, am running around frantically from office to office trying to get registered! I won't go into the whole story, but here's the summary. I found out mid-July that I wasn't eligible for Fall 2009. I got all my paperwork filled out and approved and still couldn't register. Finally the registrar's office fixed it so I could register but only for that day and I can't register myself so it didn't get done. This week my status in the system still says ineligible and people fixed it this morning. Now I'm just waiting for the program office to actually register me for my classes so that I can be awarded financial aid and get a certificate of enrollment from the registrar proving I am in school so I can defer on my previous student loans! (Big Sigh - how do you type that?) All this bureaucracy gives me a headache. Hopefully it will all be done today. Then I will be buried in books for the next 4 months!
