dancerjodiI'm trying to figure out what I want to sign up for in the fall semester - I'm so, so torn.
I want to take 2 classes but they are offered on different nights (so much for only driving into class 1 day a week). But I really want to take both of them.
I could take 1 and then do my fieldwork requirement . . . but I wanted to do the 6 credit fieldwork, making my tuition bill in the fall huge (it would be as if I was in the program full time).
Or I could suck it up and drive into school 2 days a week - but then I wouldn't be able to go to dance class (unless I went to dance class on the same night as school . . . my luck though, they'd be on different nights).
This is a big pain in the ass. Scheduling was much easier in undergrad days when I worked jobs around my class schedule (not my class schedule around my jobs).
I'm leaning in the 'take 2 classes that I really like' direction and then in the Spring take a breather and do 1 class plus the fieldwork. I'd need to submit a proposal on "an analysis of your
work experiences or related issues in the context of some relevant
sociological theory" - later a paper would follow. I think getting more course work under my belt before doing this may be a good idea.
If you're interested, this is what I'm thinking of:

Date: 2003-05-20 07:28 am (UTC)Yeah, I'm trying to find a balance between 'sanity while taking classes' and 'sanity about the length of time my life is sucked up by this program'. I'd like to get the program done sooner than later, allowing some breaks (like this summer) for present sanity :)
I've done the 2 classes thing before and it was fine - it would be even more fine if they were classes I was taking because I liked them (this fall) rather than because they were required (last fall).

Date: 2003-05-20 08:20 am (UTC)you could sign up for one or both now, and then wait to see which day your dance class falls on, which class looks/feels better on the first day and/or whether you're feeling up to taking two classes when the time comes.
in my experience, the bills for fall classes aren't sent out until late august, and you can get a full refund or switch classes in the first week.
