What Would the Prerequisite Even BE?

Back on the 15th I mentioned that I'd lost a few classes in getting transferred to the new catalog. One of these was English 110...freshman English, which I had taken many years ago at a community college, only to have it not be honored now by ODU. Well...imagine my surprise the other day when I attempted to register for the course online and was told that I don't have the prerequisites.
I'm a senior...I'm working towards (besides my actual major and minor) a TESOL certificate..more to the point ENG 110 is THE LOWEST LEVEL ENGLISH COURSE.

Can someone explain this?

I'll accept that.

The Chaos is Almost Over

^{Unlikely to visit: Arcueid and friends}

Well another season of chaos has drawn to a close at UPS. At home relatives were dealt with. Gifts were exchanged. Food was consumed in vast quantities. For the first time in many, many years there is a child about, my 11 month old niece, which means that there is a stocking by the fireplace and Santa Clause is likely to visit tonight....at least I hope he visits...'cause these instructions aren't making any sense....

2 Look at the bright side. The Goddess you're earning from this karmic mismatch is going to make Belldandy seem like a skank.

3 Ubu, given that Keiichi still hasn't got to first base, that's a hell of a thing to wish on a guy.
'Muppet, just... Get well soon, 'kay?

4 I always thought Urd was hotter. But I never like the Anime girls that the fans in Japan are SUPPOSED to like.

On the third hand, I think your computer needs to be turned over to Skuld.

5 Pixy, you seem to be a bit behind on your AMG reading:

And in fact the current arc is dealing with consequences. It's quite interesting to find out that Keichi wasn't such a wuss on his own, it was part of the original contract mechanism....
And I'd never turn a computer over to Skuld if I wanted it to function for it's original purpose ever again....

6 Oh, well, it's all right if it only takes him fifteen years to score! (cough cough)

The question is, is that Miku Dayo looking at a car she found flipped, or did she in fact flip the car?

Hang in there, man. One day you'll look at all this and think "well, most of it was worth it..."

7 There are 3 ways to look at that pic:
1: It's her car, She wrecked it. ( the meaning I initially took)
2: She is empathizing with some Clannad fans misfortune.
3: MIKU SMAAASH!

8 David, yeah, I gave up around volume 20. After the space whale, I think.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at Fri Dec 7 01:05:23 2012 (PiXy!)

9 Also, MIKU SMAAASH!

Posted by: Pixy Misa at Fri Dec 7 01:06:07 2012 (PiXy!)

Looking at this picture, I find myself thinking that Miku was added. I don't think she was really there.

11 Steven's right.

12 Oh, I don't know, David. A computer with inbuilt combat lasers and a self-destruct mechanism could be a nice thing to have (especially in this office).
