Class Schedule
Follow-up to my state of affairs post: Registered for classes one hour ago. Anxiety over having slim pickings subsided as I got to play the optimization game of course scheduling.
Constraints to satisfy:
- 3-mile bike/bus commute: avoid unnecessary early-morning awakenings and trips to campus.
- Fridays need to be open for trips to endocrinologist and in-network phlebotomists. Bonus: extended weekend visits to Chicago/Mary.
- Need courses to make me more marketable in work-place or grad school. Split the difference: two mathy and two linguisticky classes.
The schedule is thus:
- Communicative Disorders 240: Language Development in Children
- Linguistics 561: Intro to Experimental Phonetics
- Computer Science 520: Intro to Theory of Computing (woot!)
- Math 320: Linear Algebra & Differential Equations
All courses scheduled between 11am and 5pm Tuesdays and Thursdays, except for 50 minutes on Wednesday. That’s a four-day weekend, though I will give up Mondays/Wednesdays for employment. This is a very light course load for me, and I find math courses are very calming when I’m diligent. Mission One remains graduate school.
In other news: I bought a cheap, refurbed police-auctioned bike for my commute. I still need to pack, pack, pack, and move—I hate packing and moving more than anything else in world. I have to ask my mom for haircut.
