The Woes of a French Concurrent Education student with a minor in English

Yesterday I registered for my courses and was really relieved to get four out of five of the classes, and my second choice for the course that I did not get into. I'm currently fifth on the waiting list to get into the course I'm hoping to get into.

I should have known it was too good to be true.

Today I found out from another French Concurrent Student that I needed to register for six methodology courses first semester. Five of these courses are late in the day so they do not interfere with my other courses, but the sixth overlaps with the last half hour of my Canadian Literature course, the course I was most looking forward to taking this semester.

I went to Registrars hoping there was some way around taking that particular methodology course first semester. Maybe I could take it with the year younger than me next year? But no, there's no way around it...and so I've been forced to drop the Canadian Literature course. The only second year English course that is not (currently) full and does not conflict with my current schedule is Contemporary Literary Theory...which almost sounds interesting, but unfortunately is for English Majors only. I plan to speak with the professor and whoever else may be able to help me and see if there's any way for me to get into it and then I'll drop my Women Studies course, which was a second choice anyway, so I don't overload.

I should have just double majored in French and English, then none of this would be an issue.
