Sweet!

I wanted to add Anatomy with lab instead of Physiology this semester. The problem was, so did about a hundred (really, hundred) other people. In addition, it was: people who had dropped without realizing they needed an add code to ad a different section, then people transferring between lab sections. After that it was seniors, then juniors, then finally me and the other sophmores (I’m TWO credits shy of being a junior...) As far as I could tell, all of the freshman either gave up or weren’t in this class.

The line to add the class was huge, rather more of a crowd that narrowed to a one-person wide apex at one end, like a huge flock of people-geese.  After about an hour and a half of waiting, it was down to me and ten other schmucks.  When I got to the front, he asked, "how many more of you are there?" He then paused, "...well, I’m all full, so if there are really only eleven of you, I guess I can overcrowd the sections with one person each, looks like it’s lucky you were late!  Which section do you want?" So, simply by being lucky enough to be first of the last, I got to choose which section I wanted.  Instead of Wednesday at 6:40PM, like every poor, unlucky, junior that I heard in front of me, I get midday Monday, exactly the one I wanted. 

Sweet!
