Gosh I remember those days of trying to register for classes in a big ol room , when we did it on paper, and getting frustrated with not getting into the class I wanted for that semester. LOL

I am happy for the students at Howard who will have this amazing opportunity.

1. There will be a long waiting list for those classes.

I also remember class registration in the old days. You'd sign up on a list, and if you got to the registration table and the list had already filled up, there might be a few spaces on the waiting list but otherwise you were SOL. If your name was toward the end of the alphabet (as mine was), you might not get anything you really wanted.

7. Oh, my. It's been almost 100 years since

the Scopes trial and there are folks in Tennessee that still don't get the concept of education, do they?

2. I wonder how the TV wife of

Cosby's class is doing.

3. You know they are

There's probably a long waiting list. If I were a student there, I'd camp out the night before registration. And I'd still be too late, I bet.
