They probably just haven't figured it out yet, or the person who must authorize such things is on vacay :)Rowennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757364614589686606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-17585053881524011662011-08-06T10:23:28.505-04:002011-08-06T10:23:28.505-04:00"We'll update the system tonight" is..."We'll update the system tonight" is roughly translated from geekspeak into "We seriously have no idea why this is but we're trying to get on it so please let us be."Andrew McPhersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032520632202283089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-72914200660662893432011-08-05T15:07:03.488-04:002011-08-05T15:07:03.488-04:00Augh, lame.

I'm sorry about all the trouble, but I'm glad he got into the class.<br /><br />Every time I think things should be easy for these school-type things, I don't know why I'm surprised when it's not. :P That said, university classes are expensive. My sister's taking a language class this summer and it is SO expensive. Makes you want to take more units during the year when it's all covered under tuition (which is also going up, thx CA state budget crises).Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-67261927980002926382011-08-05T11:02:03.275-04:002011-08-05T11:02:03.275-04:00What a royal pain in the derriere.

I won't get into what the system is trying to do to my former schools ... suffice to say, one president for two state universities, even if they are only ten miles apart, is Not Going To Cut It.<br /><br />Good luck with the rest of the process!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-29965586752168666902011-08-05T09:25:21.701-04:002011-08-05T09:25:21.701-04:00That is so frustrating!
