Hey, so it's been awhile since my first post on my frustration with the program, and I realized that I just kind of left you all hanging on how it all worked out in the end. Actually, everything's back to smooth sailing again. The teacher e-mailed me back the monday after I encountered the problem, and gave me some extra help figuring out how to format things on my mac. Everything since then has been going just fine, and I'm even starting to work ahead a little bit.
So, on to other things. Today was class registration for incoming juniors at my high school. Since I'm an incoming junior, that means I'm supposed to get completely registered for all of my classes for next year. The registration window is just 'anytime' between 2:45 today and 11:59 on the 30th, 'anytime' being within the first few seconds of registration opening if I want to get all of the classes I want.
The catch? My high school was hosting a regional music festival between 3:30 and 5:30 tonight. So of course the band that is 90% 'incoming juniors', aka needs to schedule promptly at 2:45, are the first ones up, with a warm-up time of 2:30. Now, I love my band teacher dearly, and I know he didn't do it to deliberately inconvenience the band members, but still. So, last night my mom and I ran over my schedule in preparation for her registering me at 2:45 today. To do this, my mom needs my login and password to Skyward, an online gradebook and scheduling program used by my school. So, we get on her laptop and go to skyward only to find that my username and password is saved in her browser. Win, right?
Wrong. Completely and utterly wrong. When my mom went to register for my classes, her computer crashed. And guess what she didn't know without her computer? My flipping Skyward login. She attempted to text me, but my device was in the band room and I was in the auditorium, so I didn't hear it.
The result? I am currently registered for every class I need/want to be in except honors English, because the class was 'full' by the time my mom got to it. Supposedly this isn't that big of a deal, and my mom is going to talk to my counselor tomorrow to make sure that they can put me in the class. Still, it's a big pain in the rear factor I wish I didn't have to deal with.
