Recently, with the help of my parents, I got myself signed back up at a community college in Sacramento for this upcoming Fall 2012 semester. Before I left on my mission, I pretty much had every class in mind that I wanted to take and made detailed notes on them. I brought out those plans over the last couple months and boy, have they sure changed... well, only slightly I suppose.
The biggest concern I had from the beginning was the challenge presented by my enrollment date. Since I have been absent from the school system for two years, I was way down the line in getting priority picking rights. Those with priority one registration began April 30th - my date wasn't until May 15th! My worry only increased as I kept track of the classes and saw them fill up and close out.
