Scheduling time

I know that despite the recent struggels of academic life, I have not managed to discuss summer classes. This is absolutely stunning, in my opinion, given my massive propensity towards discussing this utter triviality.

So, this summer, there are a variety of options open to me for classes. These are the current ones which I am considering:

BIOL 481: Biochemistry I (No times scheduled)
MATH 235: Calculus III (TR 10:50-1:40, F 10:50-12:10)
MATH 313: Intro to Linear Algebra (MWF 800-1040)
MATH 215: Discrete Math (TR 1:50-4:30)
HIST 300: World War I (TR 10:50-1:40)
PES 112: General Physics II (MW 1:40-4:20)
HUM 399: Humanities Required Elective (MTWRF 8:00-5:00 from 5/21-5/26)

I definitely have to take physics, there's no question about that. Biochemistry I would definitely take, but since I have no idea what time that's going to occur, I have to assume that it might be dropped. I really would love to take that World War I class, as there are always interesting and new things to explore about tings like that. I could, for example, look at the role of Montenegro in the war, or something snazzy like that. If Biochem is not offered, then I would probably take Discrete Math simply because it is right after WWI. I would like to get a job this summer, so I'm somewhat tentative about adding something like Linear Algebra. I definitely would consider it.

I currently have a lot of hours left to get. I am right now planning for catastrophe mode and I have some kind of course conflict (which I secretly want to happen). If there is one, then my plan is to get my 4 majors and minors in physics, math, and Spanish.

Assuming that the catastrophe occurs, then I might load up this summer. Scholarships are also pretty key for me taking a lot this summer. If scholarships are tight, then there's a possibility that I would only take physics and history and cram as many hours around that as I could.

If I have a lot of scholarships, then I would load up. I might even take 13 hours, but that's a LOT for a summer session. I had a period where I was doing 8, and that was not too bad.

I wish they put out more information. I need to put my planning energies to good use.

Other than that, I've gotten a healthy amount of work done today. Quite a bit of cross-stitch/non cross stitch. I'm right now doing hald stitches (which drive me insane) to get most of my background done on my geisha. I've actually finished the woman (except for detail).

I did some cooking today (Apple cake, an ok concoction).

So I should do some homework.

So, weird. I finally looked today at classes UCCS is offering this summer, and I definitely want to see if I can take that WWI class too. Maybe we'll be in a class together. Of course, I don't really know how signing up for summer classes at UCCS works for my situation...

What do you mean, there's a few classes offered in the interim? Like, between the spring and summer sessions?

How do I find those ones?
