I have a schedule!

This morning I went to advising and, being undeclared, was assigned a guy from the German department. He didn't know too much about my chemistry or math questions, but seemed very impressed by my togetherness and told if I consulted an adviser from the appropriate department they would surely be glad to have me. We put together a tentative schedule involving chemistry (honors or general), chem lab, calculus, writing, and a 1-credit dance class to break it up.

I went to the department of chemistry and asked them about the honors course. I was surprised at how easy it was; they said I could go ahead and sign up as long as I was taking calculus, if there were still seats left. Well, I logged onto Duckweb at one o'clock sharp and grabbed the last seat in honors chemistry. Score! I also registered smoothly for calculus, and staked out a spot in tap dance hoping to later drop it for ballroom dance. As far as writing, though, I am exempt from WR121 and all sections of WR122 and 123 are currently full. So, as a placeholder for those four credits I signed up for WGS 101: Women, Difference, and Power. Now that I am signed up, I am thinking perhaps I will put off my writing until next term even if space does free up, because the class really sounds interesting and engages an area I haven't chosen to study very much before.

As it stands, I take chemistry lecture MWF mornings and math MTWF after chemistry and about an hour's break - then dance right after math MW. Monday afternoon I have a short chemistry lab and women's studies class; the women's studies class repeats at the same time on Wednesday. Then Thursday I have my long chemistry lab at noon and women's studies discussion in the late afternoon. Thursday is going to be an awesome day if my schedule doesn't change.
