So I got off the phone with my advisor yesterday and found out that one of my courses I was registered for had been canceled. My first thoughts, of course, were that I was going to have to hunt down vacationing registrars around the globe since my college's touch-tone system periodically goes out of commission pretty much a few weeks after the spring semester finishes.

Much to my surprise, no hunting downs ensued.

Instead, I can now register using the modern marvel of that which is The Internet. It allows students to electronically register for courses without having to use the telephone.

I am impressed as this will most certainly be a paradigm shift spoken of for millenia to come.

Anyone else do a double-take to check to date of the orginal post? I figured it was bumped from the mid 90's...

Must be some technologically-backward college where you still have to use typewritters in the classroom for all writing-related assignments. :lol:

I actually have to arrange those little single-digit metal stamps used for printing, and painstakingly arrange each of them to make words on a huge slab before I emboss it onto a piece papyrus :uglyclown:

Oh. That's more advanced than I thought. I thought you had to cut out those wooden blocks still.

Times have changed!

When I had art class back in the day, there was this one thing where I had to carve a shape into a slice of potato, fill it with paint, and then just start randomly stamping crap... And I also had to make these things called "fish-prints." I was turning Japanese.
