back to school?

yesterday i got a voice message from the admission office, telling me that i've been admitted into the educational media & technology grad program. i was completely ecstatic for the first 10 minutes, then with a sudden wave of panic, i realized that if i were to start this spring, that would mean i would start going to class this monday, which practically only gave me one working day (today) to figure things out!!! and i absolutely had no clue what classes to take, when i could meet with my advisor, how i'm gonna juggle school with my job, whether i got the scholarship or not, and how/when i had to register for classes, etc. there's no way i could take care all of them in just one day! and when i tried calling my advisor, turned out that he wasn't even in today! so how am i supposed to know what to do now??? what will happen if i don't register today? will i not be able to start this spring then? *pulling out hair*

anyway, it's ridiculously cold today! when i left home to work this morning, the temperature is 1F!!! can you believe it??? that means -18 Celcius!!!

update (3:31pm):
ok, so it looks like i won't find out about the status of my scholarship apps until after march, cuz they only give new ones in the fall. i finally get to talk to my advisor via email, and he suggested a few courses i can take. i decided on a 4-credit online course, since it gives more flexibility. just one class for starter, considering i still have lots of things to straighten up first, and since i'll be paying for it myself until i found out about the scholarship.

but nothing's ever easy. i had to call various different numbers just to register, and kept getting different answers and being referred to even more phone numbers to call, cuz i wasn't even in the system yet, and it's friday afternoon, and finally i was told that the person doing the registration has left for the day, so i wouldn't be able to register until monday morning. and since it's an online course, no one knows for sure whether i have to come in on monday for an initial meeting with the instructor! aaarrrgghhh!!! *pulling out more hair*
