CSU Woes

So i finally got to register for classes for this coming fall semester. I was pretty excited to be taking some upper division engineering courses, it felt like the move up here was going pretty flawless.

Then, as it turns out, on registration day i learn that the second semester of calc based physics is totally full along with third semester calc. They filled up before i was even allowed to register. WTF.

I've done pretty much all that i could be expected to do. I've contacted the professors that teach the classes i want and asked them to place me on a wait list. I've contacted the department chairs asking if there will be any additional classes added because everything filled up so quickly. I got a unanimous response from the dept chairs saying that budget cuts are keeping them from offering any more classes and the professors said 'good luck' but they worded it a little more polite then that.

So now i'm sitting on my ass enrolled in 9 units that i really don't want to be taking and footing a bill of $2,004 for this inconvenience. I don't want to think about the ass pain i'll be going through trying to expedite my proof of enrollment with the VA once i get into the classes i need so i can become a full time student.

I guess all i can do now is wait for time to pass and hopefully people to drop classes. And really, really hope that the VA doesn't fail me a second time on late payments because come August i'm going to be down to my last bit of cash.
