Creative Artifice and Filing.

I have four Course Authorization forms in my backpack.  That's too many.  The two economics classes that wouldn't let me in, I can understand.  Really.  There is no reason to expect the electronic registration system to recognize Honors Microeconomics as fulfilling the Micro prerequisite for my upper level classes.  And Modern Japan?  Just because the course catalogue doesn't say that there are any prerequisites for it doesn't mean that the system can't just--have a few.  Sure, you can get them waived.  Just run around the halls of the admin building practicing your earnest-and-admiring expressions, carefully calculated to win the hearts of administrators and professors alike.

It's like a hazing.

And I don't know what is going on with Principles of Marketing.  Major restriction?  Dude.  I'm an Econ major with a Business minor.  Officially.  I'm declared.  I'm not sure what else you could ask of me.
