1. Anticipation
2. Distraction
3. Frustration
4. Denial
5. Surrender
Stage 1 is characterized by OC-fying with class schedules and back-up class schedules. At this stage, you are finicky with profs, classrooms and class times.
Stage 2 is when you find yourself staring at the progress bar as though it could make the site load any faster. It is also when you lose your ability to concentrate (in studying for an Ec113 final exam, for example), checking on the perpetually loading page every now and then.
Upon reaching Stage 3, you start cursing Ateneo reg (or Ateneo, in general). You start entertaining the thought of spending an entire semester with either a set of crappy professors or a crappy class schedule - or worse, both. From time to time, you might catch yourself wishing that you were in a different university.
Stage 4: Despite all the rumors about the cancellation of online enlistment, even if all your batchmates have given up, and regardless of whether it's 2AM, you remain hopeful in waiting. This is the part where you convince yourself that it's better to stick it out for an entire day (or longer) than to spend an entire semester in regret.
At the final stage... To hell with it.
