I don't know why I laughed so hard at that.

I can't tell if my day's going well or not so far.

Pros:
- After almost exactly an hour, I got into Mugsi and SOLAR.
- 10:30 class was cancelled.
- Probably going to skip my only other class of the day.

Cons:
- It took an hour to get in.
- One of the courses I wanted to take is full. Wtf.
- I hate how snowy (and snow) days happen on i) the least busy day of the week and ii) the day before a midterm. The last one was also on a Wednesday before Heat Transfer. >.>

On an unrelated note, anyone want to trade Commerce 2BA3 for 2BC3? I'm looking to take the latter.

Edit:

I tried randomly to get in. Made it into Mugsi on my second attempt, Solar on my first, and magically, there was a 2BC3 spot available. ^^ Today will be a good day.

wtf?!! i can understand the rush at the beginning of school year and at the beginning of a new term...but im sure the WHOLE school doesn't take summer school.

this makes me wonder: what exactly is the number for 'maximum students allowed'...like 10?!! /:|

aaarrrghhh....dealing with this system for past 4 damn years. why doesn't any of the presidential candidates have "improving or changing this stupid mugsi system' point on their agenda??!!

It's alright, I've realized it's not dead so laughter is acceptable now. I did bring it in the house though, because the snow was burying it. I've done this at home and suffered zero consequences of it because they wake up really slowly and I have time to get them outside before they can move much. Hopefully Hamilton birds aren't more aggressive and quicker recoverers than birds back home.

Otherwise, I've set myself up for an awful situation.

What? I thought every candidate had this on their agenda. Mary did and seems to be working on a solution, though according to the pseudo-General Assembly and probably the State of the Union report, it'll take a few years before we actually see results.

I just found it weird that they can use it to win votes; it doesn't (didn't?) seem like the MSU has enough power to do something about it. It's almost as funny as the SRA potentials using "I'll stop tuition from increasing" as part of their campaign.

I didn't know you have to get past Mugsi AND Solar! I thought once you're through Mugsi, you're in!

I also don't want a bird in my house if it wakes up...

EDIT: My housemate just came in and asked why there's a bird on the porch (because I guess he thinks there's more than one likely answer to that question). I said "I thought someone threw a snowball at our door, and when I went to check, it was there." He said "what the f***, so someone threw a bird at our door?"

... Yeah, that's probably what happened

I'm sorry, I actually just laughed out loud. I feel badly now. It's nice that you took it into your house.

Oh well, least you guys got the idea.

it's 10:08 and i still cant get into mugsi. this is ridiculous! and when i do log in, my classes will probably be full and i'll end up having to take Ojibwe or Religious Studies Death and Dying.
WTF MAC, WTF.

Lets be productive. Who can think of the nastiest acronym for MUGSI?

McMaster Universty Goddamn Sucky Infrastructure!

They need to make a goddamn queue.

If I click on it for the past hour, someone clicks on it and goes in since it isn't at server capacity at that very second.

Sucks huh?

i am starting to lose my mind. i've been trying to log in since 8:30 and NOTHING. i now understand why Death and Dying is being offered as a course...
all i want is to take a class that actually has something to do with my program; i have no use for Beginners Japanese, or Ojibwe, or some random 3rd year engineering course.
just stop the misery and get rid of MUGSI!

I wish random third-year Eng courses were offered in the summer. >.>

So I'm trying to sign up for Chem 2OA3
but it says
"You do not have the academic requisites for course: CHEM 2OA3 1 E"

So I looked up the pre-reqs online and it says

Prerequisite(s):
Registration in Honours Chemical Biology. Prerequisite (Beginning 2010-2011): CHEM 1AA3 with a grade of at least C- and registration in Honours Chemical Biology

So you can't take this course unless you're enrolled in Chem Bio?

this is what my hand looks like. THANK YOU MAC; i hope you will offer courses on how to cure this...not that anyone would be able to register in them..
