divine angst

Hi Registrar! Remember us? We’re the law students who got the joy of being rising 2Ls when the school decided to completely change the way classes are selected? Yeah, THOSE law students. Good to see you again!

Listen, I understand that this new system is as much of a hassle for you as it is for us. Or, at least, I think I understand that. I mean, no, you aren’t having to bid blindly on classes with no idea what sorts of bids will be likely to be successful (because there’s no history in the system and all), but I’m sure the change has required your office to make some changes and adjustments and it’s, I guess, possible that you’re as stressed as we rising 2Ls are. Of course, we’re the only group of students likely to be completely screwed by the new system, since the 1Ls are automatically enrolled in their 1L classes, and the 3Ls have already taken their 2L classes (and have more clout in the new system), but I am sure–SURE!–that your staff are also stressed.

Which is why I’m not actually going to complain that you pushed the running of the lottery back a week. I’m not! I mean, that gives us one week less to tweak our bidding for the second round of the lottery (or whatever it should be called now), but really, no big.

What I am going to ask is why the results of the lottery aren’t up yet. Why aren’t those results up yet? The system closed over 24 hours ago. Are you having a problem with the program? Did people bid wildly all over the place because no one has any idea what to bid for classes and cause problems with enrollments? Because that? Would suck. And would not have been at all predictable. Y’know, just saying.

Anyway, I just wanted to say Hi, and let you know that I feel your pain, with the change and all. But please, PLEASE, could you just send an email or something, letting us know sort of around when the results might be posted? That’d be super. Thanks!
