Scheduling
I register in about 3 hours.
So far my schedule is thus:
2 scriptwriting
5 chem 2b: 55954
5 phys 9a: 75876
phys lab: 75855
4 mat 21d: 69668
4 cmn 3: 57147 (hopefully during pass 2, because you can only sign up for 17 units max during pass 1)

20 units. That is a freakishly big number.
Which means.
Goodbye concert band, that I stressed so hard to get into, and barely even started to know.
Goodbye midnight mario party and midnight adventures and Trent Tuesdays and cooking cookies in Thompson.
Goodbye dorm bonding and fun and social life.
And even possibly:
Goodbye DRD and badminton.
And more importantly:
Goodbye self time, goodbye lj blogging time, goodbye experimenting with photography and poetry and internet time, goodbye book time, and good bye Jessica-me-time. But I'm not sure if I know how to give that up, so my grades might suffer. But I don't want to my grades to suffer. And I can't not-take so many classes because I need to graduate asap so my sister can still go to college.

Society expects you to be academically amazing. Socially well-networked. And extracirricularly-well-rounded. It's hard. :___;

Edit: Okay. I got Chem. And Physics. And Math.
I don't know if I want to take Communications or not. 20 units is such a big number. But if I don't follow the carefully articulated schedule for the rest of these 4 years (they didn't take into account the random IS seminar, because I think I'd be okay with 18) then I'm screwed too. And I guess I could try for DeAnza, but I'm worried that I won't be able to get in, with budget cuts being so bad and all. Plus, now, people from UC's get last priority. Called mom. She believed in my ability to make educated decisions. I don't believe in myself anymore.
FLAIL.
I don't even know.
