Conflicts

It looks like scheduling conflicts are going to arise here soon. My advanced immunology class is either going to conflict with my Ancient Rome class or my Philosophy thesis, so I'm going to have to drop whichever one with which it conflicts. This brings up a massive quandary. If it conflicts with Rome, then that's actually better, because I can just take another history class either in the summer or next fall, and then just take 16 hours instead of 13.

However, if there is conflict with my thesis class, then I may be in serious trouble. I would still have to take a philosophy thesis in the fall, and I would be stuck writing two theses in one semester, which is nightmarrish beyond compare, not to mention whatever I'll be doing in my two chemistry courses that I have to take next fall. I'll be choosing two of among Environmental Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry Laboratory, and Molecular Biology.

So this is what I am thinking. If it conflicts with Rome, then I just drop Rome, and go to 23 hours on the semester. Handy dandy. If it conflicts with thesis, then I either do two theses next semester, or I drop philosophy down to a minor and pick up a third one.

My options though for a minor are very limited. These are the minors that it's physically impossible for me to do:
Physics, French, German, Art History, Engineering, Computer Science, Health Science, Communication, any Business minors, Film Studies, English, Economics, Gallery Management, Energy Science, Music, Writing, Statistics, and anything else involving art.

Maybe it should be better to write about what I can take:
Politics, Math, Geography, Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology.

I won't do math or sociology for anything. I'm not all that interested in psych.

So then the problem becomes, do I want to do any of politics, anthropology, or psychology?
Not really psych or politics, everyone does those.

So then anthropology? The serious problem there is that I have to take 18 hours. I could only take maybe 6 this semester, leaving me with 12 hours of anthro, 6 in chemisty, and a history thesis. Not looking forward to that.

So then I wonder, maybe I should take up a 4th language? There are intro classes in sign language, Japanese, and German being offered. Japanese would conflict with immunology if I were to go into all of this, and the american sign language classes are all filled, leaving German as the only option. Of course, the times for this class are absolutely terrible, leaving me with three choices:
go down to 23 hours
take nuclear chemistry
take a language class at Pikes Peak Community College.

Ok, so there are no language classes at PPCC I can take that don't conflict with French. There is however an online class I can take-American politics, which when I trnasfer it, would give me 6 hours at UCCS, and I can take a class this spring, bringing me to 9 hours. I would have to squeeze 9 more in somehow-probably one over summer to get me to 6 hours.

I think of all options, if philosophy thesis goes out the window, then I will tkae nuclear chemistry, and get my chemistry down to 3 hours. Then take a 4th language this fall, in all probablility. I would only have to take thesis, another chemistry class, and French III. So in order to meet full time status, I would at least I have to take a class like Japanese I.

Too much to worry about right now, I figure.

My new years' resolutions are looking good. I've gone 3 days and not even thought about hte monkey on my back that much--I can easily dissuade it when it gets on there. So that puts me at about 72 hours right now with me being monkeyless.

Finances are unchanged, but I am not going to buy anyhting else that I don't need--books and cross stitches--until I finish the ones I have. Speaking of which, I have almost finished another book on the French Revolution, which I honestly, don't like. I've also made good progress on my southwestern cross stitch, which I'll probably end up giving to someone. Anyone, probably.

All in all, right now, life is not complaint-worthy.

El fin para hoy.
