Registration and Reservations
After registering online this morning for 5 of my 7 summer and fall classes, I got the remaining ones taken care of today at school. I didn’t ever recall registering online before, but apparently I did it last semester also (see, this blog actually can be good for stuff!). As a result of this registration party that went on, I’m enrolled in the Japan trip class for the summer. I’ll most likely be submitting all of the forms and such on Thursday along with paying at least the first part of the money that I’ll owe UTD.
Now that this is virtually a done deal, flight reservations need to be considered. From looking at AA’s website, there are two direct flights to Japan that I could be on and then two direct flights back (although one is highly more favorable than the other due to times). If I may direct your attention to my December 11th post, I mentioned how on the return flight from Australia, the date line and flight time made it so that as far as calendar time was concerned, I’d be arriving in Dallas only about 4 hours after we left Sydney. Well, with Japan being a closer flight distance but in a similar time zone situation, I’ll actually arrive back in Dallas about 2 hours and 30 minutes on the same day before I left Japan. I don’t even want to think how messed up my body clock is going to be as a result of this trip.
