Waiting with Quivering Anticipation
In the comments, Lynn said:
"OK, I'm confused, and so are a couple of my friends, to whit:
The online registration form included a page that just said: "First Preference:____. Second Preference: _____." I assumed this had to do with my workshop preferences and I also assumed that, since the form had already asked my first preference in workshops,this next page referred to my first and second preferences in back-up choices. Were my assumptions correct?"
Yes, Lynn--that is correct. (We had a little glitch in the first 30 minutes of registration where it said 1st and 2nd preferences, instead of 2nd and 3rd preferences and it was confusing, but we corrected it as soon as we realized what was going on.)
Lynn went on to ask:
"If I got an email from the no-doubt overworked and slightly frazzled Ms. Brock, confirming my registration, does that mean I actually got in? [woot! in fact, WAHOOOO!!!] Or does it just mean, "yup, we received your registration; stay tuned for the lottery results." [in which case...woo]"
The email confirmed that we received your registration--stay tuned for the lottery results.
Let me explain further. In past years, during the first week of registration we normally receive fewer registrations than we have spots at SOAR--so everyone who registered that first week got in and the lottery was to determine who got the first, second, and third choice class selections. This year, we had more people register during that first week than we have spots available--so the lottery will (in addition to determining the class you get in) also determine who is placed on a wait list to get into SOAR until a spot opens up.
Lynn asked:
"When do you charge someone's credit/debit card?"
We'll charge credit/debit cards when you've been confirmed into a class--after June 9th. If you're placed on a waitlist to get into SOAR you won't be charged until you're actually taken off the waitlist and placed in a class.
Please forgive me if the answers to these questions are obvious to everyone but me; it's hard to interpret directions correctly when one is quivering ecstatically in anticipation!"
We totally understand the quivering ecstatically in anticipation and will do our best to make sure all who want to come to SOAR are able to.
