Registering for next semester's classes made me realize just how crazy I am ... wow ...

So ... next semester looks something like -

CHEM 27 Inorganic Chemistry (3 credits)
CHEM 118 Biochem I lab (1 credit)
BIOL 142 Developmental Biology (4 credits)
PSYC 109 Biological Psychology (4 credits)
MUS 9 001 Voice Lessons (1 credit)
MUS 22 Chamber Orchestra (2 credits)
PE 15 001 Ballroom Dancing (1 credit)
BCHM 120 Research in Biochemistry (4 credits)

TOTAL: 20 credits

And while I was procrastinating from studying for my molecular genetics exam I came up with proof that I am certifiably insane ...

So, basically, after the FALL 2006 semester I will have two classes left for my major (total 5 credits) and one class each for my minors (total 8 credits) and orchestra (2) again or I don't get any credit at all (which is stupid but whatev') for a grand total of 15 credits for the SPRING 2007 semester (or the 20 I want to do since I'm paying for it anyway). Then I'll be graduating with ...



BIOCHEMISTRY CREDITS 77
PHYSICS CREDITS 28
PSYCHOLOGY CREDITS 24
GEN ED CREDITS 48
TOTAL CREDITS 177
TOTAL CREDITS AT GRADUATION 161 (because some classes overlap) (or 166 credits with a 20 credit Spring 2007 semester)

... and we only need 128 credits to graduate (as long as we've completed a major, minor and gen ed requirements, of course).

Reading over all this made me feel like I have actually accomplished something in life... I feel oddly proud of myself. I've done something! It might not be much but it's a start and that's a good feeling. I actually have something to show for my existence ... and there's some people I know who would be thoroughly surprised by that. *pat's self on back*
