ask lj: advice about classes
so: the Peralta Colleges courses i wanted are full, and while i could go to the first meeting and hope & beg to get let in if there's space...for a basic biology lab course, i'd bet that it's going to be full and stay that way. also, they start this week, and while i'm feeling mostly awake and human again, i'm cautious and stressed and way behind at work auuugh.
my current plan is to sign up for one of the UC Berkeley Extension courses. not a lab, sadly, because those are twice as expensive and also mostly full, but there are a few others that look interesting. they also start later (2.5-3 weeks from now) and are mostly higher-level, and cover material that would be good for me to know anyhow. i'll do the lab course at one of the close-by Peralta colleges in the spring.
i'm going to pick one & enroll tonight, but since i'm indecisive i figured i'd see if y'all had any insight, suggestions, or entirely off-topic rambling to offer.
[edit: not enrolling until tomorrow, since i'm waiting to hear what the training schedule is for doing hospice volunteer work this fall.]
options are:
. Developmental Biology, downtown Berkeley, Tuesdays 6:30-9:30pm
. General Anatomy, SF, Tuesdays 6:30-9:30pm
. Genetics, online or SF, Thursdays 6:30-9:45pm
. Cell Biology, SF, Saturdays 1:30-4:45pm
two cents?
