The Irish are Disorganized

Six months ago everyone I know at home had the satisfaction of knowing what they were taking this term. Unfortunately, three days before courses begin, I still do not know what I am taking for sure, and I don’t even need to turn in an official registration form until October 17th. Yikes. I went to all my departments and was able to sort of sign up for some History classes, but there are still other departments that I have no idea how to read the timetables and no one really showed me. This is learning self-sufficiency in an almost extreme way; I don’t know how to do this on my own! In a few weeks I’ll probably look back on this time and think “why was I so anxious about all of this” but for now I have no idea how this is going to go. It’s a stressful process and all the professors say about it is “It is a silly process but we don’t know any other way!” IT’S CALLED THE INTERNET!
