woohoo scheduling (no seriously. i like.)

So my schedule this semester is pretty messed up, on account of the fact that Chinese meets 4 times a week, my 2 lectures have additional days of recitation, and my other class is a 2 1/2 hour seminar that only meets once a week. Basically, this means I have class everyday except Friday, and that's only because I managed to squeeze 7 hours of class into Thursday. Not fun. Now with my internship, I'm busy every day from either 9-5 or 11-6.

Naturally, I'm not going to make the same mistake next semester. Which is why I got so excited to come home from class and find out that next semester's course listing is now posted. Yayyyy for making hypothetical schedules. And to my amazement, my desired class schedule actually fits and works out quite well, meaning that if I actually get in to those classes that I want, I'll be a happy camper. And not nearly as fatigued as this semester, I hope.

For starters, Advanced Chinese apparently only meets twice a week. And it amazingly does not conflict with the one Natural Science class I want, which is what I greatly feared. Right now I'm planning on taking Biosphere Something Something, which I'm assuming is going to be like environmental science though I haven't found a description of it yet. Whatever, as long as it's not physics or molecular biology I think I'll be ok.

Then the other exciting/scary class that I want to take is called Vietnam, and it's taught by this crazy Prof with an excellent reputation. As in, he will assign lots of work but we'll (subsequently) learn a lot and that class is highly recommended. So there. And then I have to take a Shakespeare class. Boo. I tell ya, if it wasn't for this Asia/Pacific post-colonial lit class I'm taking right now, I'd be utterly disappointed in the English department. Aside from this seminar, my required classes have been less than stellar. And I'm not really looking forward to the remaining requirements I have to fulfill. I guess I just need to pick better electives when I get the chance.

Right so, was this post dry and academic enough for you? Now that you know I'm a big scheduling nerd, I promise I won't post about this again... until it comes time to schedule and I manage to get screwed over... OR until next semester when I completely regret choosing these courses. Did I mention my earliest class will start at 11? That's always nice. I just hope I don't have class until 6:10 again... 4:45 is late enough, methinks.

Random: Do I use too many adverbs? Is it bad to use lots of adverbs?
