Tell Me I'm Not Going Crazy

Today was the first day for Northern undergraduate students to register online for classes for the winter semester.
Well, I got to register today. I have 93 credits and am a Senior
However, I didn't register until 4 pm. The first wave of people registering were at 8 am (my boyfriend was one of them) and the next wave was at noon.
I was so nervous last night that I made my boyfriend hold 3 classes for me (he has 1 class that he has to take next semester).
This afternoon I was a wreck. I have 31 credits left until I student teach. I didn't eat much for lunch, because I was so nervous. After eating, I was sick to my stomach and thought that I was gonna be sick!
As 4 oclock rolled near, I started to go even more nuts and my boyfriend kept having to calm me down.
I got on at 4 and waited a few minutes before I was able to get ot the right spot to add my classes.
Well I got the ones that I wanted. There were 2 classes are were closed but my boyfriend was holding my spots there. So next semester I'm taking 17 credits, so that I only have to take 14 next fall.
I can't believe how crazy I was this afternoon. I swear that Northern is trying to steal my sanity. Or am I really going crazy?

Heehee .. I used to get this way registering for classes. I'm looking forward to doing it again next year when I start grad school (yeah, sooo looking forward, lol).

Glad you got all the classes you wanted. Good luck with your semester.

Registration was always the worst part of college. In my day, we all had to wait in line for a class. So many times we had to choose which class was most important!

Enjoy your senior year!

17 credits is a huge class load. Good luck this semester.

I don't think you're crazy at all, registering for classes is always stressful.

Thanks everyone I feel a lot better now!
I've settled down a lot. Although I'm dreading registering for next fall. I have 4 classes left until I student teach, so I have to get them.
I plan on enjoying my semester a lot! 17 credits won't be too bad for me, since I've taken 17 credits other semesters (I usually take 16).
I'm taking a Michigan History class! I always get excited about taking history classes (hence the history major). I'm such a History Nerd!

I have a question, how do you have someone 'save' you a seat in a class like that? I'm wondering how you get the registration changed from your bf's name to yours.

Good luck with your classes. It does get wild there at the end trying to make sure you've got all the classes you need.

Since NMU does all registering electronicall, all my bf and I do is wait for a time when the system isn't all that busy (later at night). Then he will drop the class and right after he does, I'll add it. We've got this down to a good system and have done it a couple of times.
It is wild registering towards the end! You really gotta fight to get those classes!

This is the first time I haven't had to register because i'm graduating. It was the biggest relief of my LIFE!! Good luck on that one!!
