Planning for the future
While I suffer through my terribly terrible calculus class, I frequently drift off and think about other things. Recently I was thinking about which classes I’d like to take next semester. It seems I’m dreaming the impossible, though, as the course load would be 20+ credits. Here’s what I’m looking at, along with some notes about the courses.
BUS495 BUSINESS CAPSTONEa
ECON495 ECONOMICS CAPSTONEa
ECON462/463 INTERNATIONAL TRADE/MONETARY RELATIONSa
ECON442 HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHTb
ECON457 LAW AND ECONOMICSb
MATH182 CALCULUS II
MATH251 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS
PHYS152 PHYSICS II
a: These classes are required to graduate.
b: I need to take at least one of these classes to graduate.
In other words, I only have to take four more classes after this semester to graduate. The two math classes would definitely help me out in grad school. The physics class is just the second part of the physics class I’m taking right now, and I find the subject material incredibly interesting.
However, as you can see, that’s 8 classes, two of which are 4 credits. The total credit load would be 24 credits.
I’m hoping the schedule for spring and summer will get released around the same time; if so, I think what I could do is take MATH251 and PHYS152 in the summer. And maybe MATH283 (Calculus III).
Ugh. If I could only go back a couple years and redo my school career with the knowledge I have now…
Anyone have any suggestions/comments concerning the above class listing?

I’d also like to take any number of philosophy classes. *sigh*

Oh, I remember looking down the path of college life and seeing the End of the Road within reach…and planning every minute detail to get there. My question is—what’s more important to you: graduating quickly or taking classes you enjoy? The schedule you’ve posted seems like you’re trying to do both. Pick one. You can always take “fun” classes (although physics=fun? Really??) later on after you’ve graduated and maybe have more time to enjoy them.
