It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

I’ll be the first to admit it–William and Mary students drop everything when they hear the first whisper of a rumor that class offerings for the next semester have been posted.  We spend hours (if not days) pouring over the plethora of new classes…from Women in Islam to American Popular Music to Yoga, there is something to get everyone excited.  Well, it has arrived!  On Monday, the Spring 2009 classes appeared on Banner (our online course catalog) and we were off to the races!  As I sat frantically gleaning through the newest Biology offerings, it dawned on me–this is the last time I will choose my classes at William and Mary.  Come April, when everyone else begins registering for fall classes, I will just be sitting around watching them waiting anxiously to see which classes they got into.  So I’d better make this last semester count!  Most people might think it is weird to obsess so much over class selection, but I can tell you that everyone at W&M understands.  When you have such amazing professors and opportunities at your fingertips, you don’t want to let anything slip away.
I still have one more GER class to fulfill, and, ironically, I selected my class for that requirement from the video we show during sessions in the Admissions Office.  Apparently Professor Sonn is incredible–they had better not have been lying though, because the class is only offerred at 8am.  Yikes!  I have also chosen to subject myself to the 8am section of Biochemistry…you do what you have to do right?  I have also decided that since I am a senior, this is my semester to get into Yoga.  It is one of the hardest classes to get into on this campus, but I’ve been wanting to take that class since my freshman year, and nothing’s going to stop me now!  Other than that, one more Bio class and a couple of Business classes and I’m set to go!  Registration is one week from Monday…I’ll let you know how it goes!
