The Hairy Scary First Week of Classes?

After my adventurous and somewhat tortuously boring orientation process,  the first week of classes commenced! At National Chengchi University, the headache of the first week of classes is experienced differently because in the United States, you worry about the 100000 piles of homework you will accumulate within the first week. At National Chengchi University, you toil in the uncertainties incessantly questioning whether you will get the classes you want as the system is wired in a peculiar way that prevents students from registering for classes not just based on pre-requisites but on other arbitrary things like your major etc. It is the first week of classes and I still do not have all of my classes officially registered even though I am attending them. Interestingly enough, I still have to take my placement exam for Chinese language for which I am pseudo excited about (now I say pseudo excited because I am just anxious about what level I will place in). Nevertheless, I have attended three classes this week (wow just three?) and I think I might like them (that's a good sign). Fellow study abroad students where ever you may be, I hope your experience is going well for you inspite of the frustrations you may face. I will leave you with that much for now!
