I finally figured out what to do about my last P.E credit. Good riddance. I’m going on the ski trip — it took a surprising amount of maneuvering to get done, but I filled out the forms and turned in my check earlier today.

So, here’s the story: I found out someone wanted to drop out yesterday (because sign-ups were last semester) so I immediately e-mailed him, knowing that the deadline was imminent. I thought we had worked it out and was waiting for a confirmation, so I went to the coordinator’s office to make sure we hadn’t missed anything. However, after talking to her I found out he’d given his spot to someone else and I was still, well, spotless.

So, I e-mailed two other people and had “maybe”s from them. Meanwhile, I had a second problem to deal with. Both of these two other guys were assigned to rooms with three other guys. This, obviously, would be pretty awkward. I asked around and, by chance, found out that a girl had swapped out of a quad the other day. Her replacement was a guy and he’d be living with three other girls. I didn’t know if he’d be willing to give it up, though, but I e-mailed him anyway, inquiring about a swap.

Long story short, late last night, we finally worked out the details – I would take one guy’s spot and swap into the all-female room. The coordinator let us know that 3:00 today was the final deadline for everything. I turned in the forms and the check, and viola! I’m off to North Carolina on my first skiing trip next week!
