My plan is to take four courses plus judo (which meets 5:30 Tuesday/Thursday) and two credits of chemistry research. In order to retain big chunks of time in which to go to work and go to lab I'm going to have all of my classes on Tuesdays/Thursdays. Currently I'm signed up for:
Advanced Inorganic (8am)
Queer Theory (9:30 am)
Race, Gender, and Class in U.S. Legal History (11 am)
Drama of Diversity (3:30 pm)
This doesn't include any math courses, and I'm considering dropping something else in order to pick up either Abstract Algebra (9:30 am) or Elememtary Analysis (12:30). The former would force me to drop Queer Theory, which I really don't want to do. If I signed up for the latter I'd drop Drama of Diversity ('cause taking 18 credits would be bad), about which I'm not all that enthusiastic. This would certainly suggest that I take analysis rather than algebra. Unfortunantely, then I'd have four classes (6 hours) in a row, which would be painful. Also, because the material covered in Abstract Algebra overlaps a lot with Advanced Inorganic it would be nice to take them concurrently. Any thoughts?
Still trying to figure out where I want to be working in a year...I think that this semester has taught me that my time/skills are FAR better utilized doing organizational work than interpersonal, making Teach for America a less-than-ideal fit. Suggestions for social justice jobs for which my abilities would be well-suited are highly welcome.
Earthquake/central-American hurricane relief stuff is going reasonably well. Poke at me if you care to hear the details.

Excuse us, could you just put down that hammer for a minute and listen. You’re so busy getting things done you rarely take any time out just to relax. In fact, you’ve probably forgotten how to relax. That’s because you’re so anxious to prove that it’s possible to lead a good and moral life without religion that you have built a strict and forbidding creed all of your own.
You keep a compost heap, cycle to the bottle bank, invest in ethical schemes only and the list of countries you won’t buy from is longer than the washing line for your baby’s towelling nappies. You admire uncompromising self-sacrificers like Aung San Suu Kyi and Che Guevara, and would have liked the chance to be incarcerated for your principles like Diderot or Nelson Mandela.
You would never cheat on your partner, drink and drive, accept bribes or touch drugs. You never waste money though you give lots to charity. Living a good life? You’re a model to us all. But it wouldn’t hurt you to try a little happiness once in a while. Loosen up.
