Five Letter Word!!!

Queue! Queue! Oh queue!

IAPO (the International Academic and Programs Office) warned us last week during orientation that there would be queues, but I scoffed at the idea. Boy did I learn my lesson yesterday and today! There were a few changes that needed to be made to my registration to sort out transfer of credit and, well I think I waited in line a total of 6 or 7 hours between yesterday and today. If it doesn't teach you patience to wait 45 min. to an hour only to hear that so-and-so can't help you, go to the line five buildings over, then I don't know what will.

I feel like tarzan having just conquered the great ape. My registration is complete and I have a rather nice schedule:

1. Applied International Trade Bargaining (6hrs)
   
2. Finance I (4 hrs)
   
3. Macroeconomics II (4 hrs)
4. Africa: Culture, Identity & Gender (3 hrs)

Now...let the flow of homework begin! I purchased my textbooks today and was quite surprised at the savings over book purchases back home. Two new business books were R 1014 or $131 - NEW! Last semester, I spent $220 on accounting alone. Everything is sunshiney here, except the rain that is supposed to come tomorrow.
