Okay, yes, that was a bit of a cheaply-found quote, but it seemed to fit since I'd like opinions. So it comes up that my Physics professor for this fall is likely to give me a similar experience to my Chemistry professor's this spring. Since I've even less experience with Physics than Chemistry, this naturally makes me rather wary of signing up for the class. This is the best way I could find to manipulate the schedule out of Physics and into covering what's still needed:

(And yes, someday I will write about something other than my fall classes...)

• Greek 3
• Intro to Music
• Animal Biology
• Critical Analysis & Writing I
  
• Food & Human Environment
• The State, Religion, Economy, and Human Consumption

The latter one is an Honors seminar, which finishes up my general honors award requirements, and is also an Epstein class (I'd like to go out with a bang), the topic of which (no doubt) has many of you Epstein-alumni nodding your heads in solemn amusement - it's just the sort of topic he would choose. I think it would be interesting because he's always talking about it, and one would actually get to read all of the various and sundry books he references.

It's 19 hours instead of 18, but many of them promise to be better "time-management" classes (a euphemism my advisor uses for just plain easy...). I don't know. Should I grit my teeth and barrel through Physics, or use this?

What say you?!

   Yeah, I would rather not take Physics either. But of course I have different tastes...
   
   I'm definitely taking Latin next semester, but we have yet to decide whether I'll take animal biology, Political Sciences from NOC, or botany as my second class.

   19 credits without physics...
   or 18 credits with physics...
   
   Translated (just for you):
   One credit more,
   or three of sheer torture...
   
   Seems like a no-brainer. But then, I'm the one who has no brain... o_O

   Probably the thing you need to ask yourself is, "Why do I need or want physics?" If the answer is, "Physics-schmisics!" then you're probably good going with the new schedule. If you have a use for physics, even if it's just ammo to get you into med school, then go with the first schedule. That's my half penny. Not sure it's worth the whole half, but its at least worth a "humph!" - m
