(ok, this is assuming that the schedule posted to the UMB website is accurate)
There is one class I have to take in the spring, my "thesis" class. Its on Wednesday nights. Of course there aren't any other classes on the same night offered. Phoey!
I have to take one more "core" class and wanted to get it out of the way in the spring. The only one offered that I'm eligible to take is one I don't want, blech! Its on Thursday nights. Two nights of class means I can't do dancing - this having 3 nights of standing commitments every week in addition to working full time, getting homework done and trying to have some semblance of a life isn't fun.
In addition to this core class and the thesis I need an internship and 1 more class and then I'm done with the program. I'm doing the internship over the summer. I was also going to do this last other class (elective) over the summer.
There's a class I really like being offered on Mondays. I think it could benefit my career greatly. Its also offered from 4-6:30, that would allow me to get to dance class at 8:00. It would result in only 2 nights a week committed to things (school and dance on Monday, school on Thursday).
But that would mean I'd have to go back in the fall to take that core class. The core classes are only offered in the fall and spring :/. I'd probably be able to take a more interesting one too - I'd prefer "Social Problems" to "Sociological Theory", the one offered in the spring on Thursdays.
****
I really wanted to be done with school this summer, but I don't want the spring to be the semester from hell. It will be if I'm taking Soc theory on top of doing my thesis and if I'm not dancing.
I think I need to drag this out further - its only 3 more months, right? I don't want to do that though.
I was figuring this would happen, but I was hoping the course scheduling fairy would be nice to me or something :) I'm not so lucky after all (unless of course the school website is wrong - in an ideal world there would be an interesting core course offered right before the thesis class). A girl can dream, though.
