ha ha some guys I know own that and they always get wrong number phone calls.

When did they get rid of the phone registration?

If you are 00 why the hell would you need phone registration?

I was just remincing... they are doing away with the Tex system at tu, and we were all talking about our days trying to register on the phone. I decided to call it for old time sakes.

oh damn, you must be really bored...

Acutally I have a ton of **** to do, but I am procrastinating.

I remember having 6 people dialing phones for me trying to get through... Man it was nice living in the dorms back then.

Phone registration was made obsolete (by register.tamu.edu) in 2001, and abolished in 2004.

And I don't miss it.

I miss the registraion drinking games we would play:

Every minute you were on hold, drink.
Every time you got disconnected, drink.
If you got in too early, drink lots..

I am surprised that I ever got any classes at all. And yeah, we would have a ton of people trying to get through... I used to know the 'athletic' number by heart too, but I forgot it.

You new army pansies and your internet registration.

Back in my day, you had to make our your schedule on a stone tablet.

Take it to your advisor who would sign it.

Stand in line at the Pavillion in the hot, April sun.

Sit down next to a blue-haired old woman while she typed in your course requests.

She would say, "Sorry that section is full."

Go back to the department head to get forced into a section

Go back to the Pavillion and stand in line some more

Get forced into the section you wanted.

Go stand in another line to pay you fees.

The Pavillion was a regular beehive during registration time.

You just wanted to show off your use of bullets.

Ah, phone registration -- some old school memories:

1. First used in Fall 1986. Yes my old ass was there back then
2. 845-TAMU
3. 845 exchanges had an easier time getting through, so everyone was bugging their favorite profs for access to their office phone
4. There as an 845 public phone in G. Rollie with about 100 people (me included) in line to use it
5. We celebrated at the Chicken when we finally got done with it

Burdizzo you had it easy.

How about the days when you got a chose a punch card for the class you wanted and they ran the batch with your cards overnight.

You didn't know until the next day whether you got the class or not.

I was wondering why I recognized that number. Is it bad that I knew I called that number and I graduated in '98? Surely my brain could remember more important stuff.

For some reason I was thinking that was the Student Directory phone number or Campus Information.

I don't think I will ever forget the number.

If I can't think of it off the top of my head, all I have to do is see a phone and my finger automatically knows which buttons to press.

Does anyone still remember the registation codes? I only remember one:

911 = Foundations Clusters in Engineering

yeah, we were talking about it, and I just managed to rattle it off. My cooworker looked at me (she's an aggie too) and started to laugh. It took her a sec, but she recognized it.

The most fun was (before cell phones) fighting with roomates over who gets to use the phone first.

I never had that problem all my roomates were lower classifications than I was. However if you diled from the hallway you seemed to have better re****s. We think it was because someone never got the classes he wanted so he helped us get ours.
