So, guess who's taking 22 credits next semester?

This masochist. Though in all fairness 5 of those credits are going to be an audit, which means I don't get graded for it and it doesn't affect my GPA. The main problem was that two of my required engineering courses were at the exact same time as the two offerings as Chinese 202. So after hashing it out with both my counselors and a handful of professors, they decided that I can take the accelerated Chinese (meaning 202 is offered half the semester after Spring Break) with the stipulation that I take the accelerated 201 again in the first half of the semester.

Well, damn.

I mean, I guess my Chinese will get amazing, but that's a two hour lecture. Every day. And it's going to be a little tiring because I'm already passing 201. Taking it again is going to feel so repetitive. But that's my life now. Squishing the classes into each other and pulling loopholes out of the woodwork to make my life have some semblance of organization. It was a funny conversation though, with the Chinese counselor.

"So what's the problem? Which class should we bump 10 minutes?"

"That won't work."

"Why not?"

"It's not that the ends are bleeding into each other. The entire class of one, overlaps with the entire class of the other. I need a whole new class time."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

And that's how I managed to cause two departments and a half dozen faculty to scratch their heads and then shrug at me. Ah, college.

In other news, I think I just completely owned my calculus exam today. Now to study for the Chinese one tomorrow, and the Physics one on Friday. Excuse me while I go fall into a study coma for the next few days.

Until next time!
