Success! I got into all my classes
Yes - even with the evil MYDUSIS system we register though, I was able to get into all my classes for next year. Here's a brief run-down for anyone who's interested:
Blaw 060: Business Law I - This course combines a strong foundation in contract law with a study of the legal environment of business in the United States. Issues concerned with international business law are also introduced. Well, it doesn't show me how to do my taxes, but it shouldn't be too bad.
Stat 131: Introduction ot Probability - An introduction to probability concepts, including definition of probability; independence; conditional probability; random variables; specific discrete and continuous probability distributions; multivariate random variables; moments and moment generating functions; functions of random variables; sampling distributions; and central limit theorem. This is what Actuarial Exam 1/P is based on. After this class I will take the exam in February.
Acts 140: Theory of Interest - Measurement of interest; solution of interest problems; basic and general annuities; yield rates; amortization schedules and sinking funds; bonds; yield curves; duration and immunization; stochastic approaches. Some real Actuarial stuff, exciting I know.
Math 080: Linear Algebra - Systems of linear equations; vectors, linear independence, linear transformations; matrix operations, inverse of a matrix, determinants; null and column space of a matrix, rank; general vector spaces, basis of a vector space, dimension; eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization, orthogonality; applications. Yea! It's not Calculus. And it should be easier because the prereq's are lower math classes.
Econ 173: Intermediate MicroEcon Analysis - Principles of price determination applied to the analysis of consumer demand and business supply; production and costs; comparison of various market structures; income distribution; general equilibrium analysis. Elementary knowledge of calculus assumed. I got the best teacher for this class! He's very bland and dry but his tests are predictable and overall good class.
Oh - We made chocolate pudding last night (that's right: you too can make delicious chocolate pudding right in your dorm room, all you need is milk, a wisk (or forks get the job done), a bowl, and 5 minutes to spare).
Laura and I went to go find our room for next year in GK and 1) almost got lost 2) thought we were in a maze 3) found the room: it's at the end of a long hallway and right across from the bathroom.
Well: I'm off to church.

Good luck with the actuary exam. It is a bear. And most people don't pass it the first time.
