OH NO. How bad is THIS? UMich Orientation Problem

<p>Listen. I didn't know that orientation would fill up so fast. I can only make it to the orientation dates in June and a couple of early ones in July because of traveling outside the country. I thought if I signed up now, there would still be spots available. But, I just checked and the first date available is JULY 13th. The FIRST session I CAN'T make. If it'd be ONE session earlier, I could have made it. I CAN'T delay this vacation (it's outside of the country to visit relatives I haven't seen in almost five years and it's really important to my family). So, that means... I have to sign up for that STUPID last day of orientation from August 30th to September 1st which means I probably won't get ANY of the classes I want. Am I right? My questions is... how bad is this? I know. I'm stupid. I'm really really really stupid and I shouldn't have put off signing up for orientation. I honestly thought the dates would be available since the deadline for deposits is May 1st and enough people wouldn't have got orientation their emails yet. What a great way to start off my college career...I hate this.</p>

<p>To the person who replied (and then deleted?) their post. Thanks for your reply. Yes. I guess I already knew that. I don’t even know why I wrote this post, I already know what I have to do. I guess writing it out makes it easier for me to think logically… </p>

<p>I just remembered why I waited so long to sign up… I was waiting for my Honors Acceptance/ Denial to come, so I could properly confirm my academic status (LSA Regular or LSA Honors)- and it came last Thursday evening… and I got denied. Then, I waited till Monday to sign up for Orientation. But still, that’s a lame excuse. I should have sent in the Honors essay earlier. Well, I’m just going to go for late registration. It was my stupid choice, so I shouldn’t cause my family grief to change the travel date…</p>
