Classes for next semester. Here's what I'd like to take:

ANTH 413: Language and Society | MW 4:30pm-5:50pm
KINE 175: Weight Training | TR 10am-10:50am
RELG 340: Roman Catholicism since 1800 | TR 3:30pm-4:50pm
ANTH 495: Honors Thesis

So that right there is 10 credits. Clearly I need to add more. I am considering...

ANTH 342: People and Cultures of East Asia | TR 11am-12:20pm
ANTH 470: The Anthropology of Texts (Senior Seminar) | W 9am-11:50am
ENGL 307: Phonetics and Phonology | TR 12:30pm-1:50pm
KINE 154: Kayaking | T 2pm-3:50 pm

If you get as excited about course scheduling as I do, plus want to offer helpful advice


There was also a senior seminar I wanted to take called "Culture of Consumption" but it was from 3pm-5:50pm on Wednesdays, so it conflicted with Language and Society. SAD. :(

I suppose I'm masochistic, but I'd love to take the two Anthro classes and the Linguistics class.

Collective pros:
+ ANTH 342 - I should really expand my knowledge of Asia, given I concentrate mainly in Southeast Asia and barely know anything about China, Korea, or Japan.
+ ANTH 470 - I know the teacher for Anthropology of Texts - the workload shouldn't be too bad, and he's a cool guy. The topic is also interesting and helpful considering that I do historical and ethnographic research.
+ ENGL 307 - Linguistics is referenced so much in anthropology, and many anthropology students don't have a good grasp of it, that I feel I would learn a lot. Maybe not do so well on tests, but learn a lot.

Collective cons:
+ ANTH 342 - No idea what the workload is like on this one, and since it's a double GER (3 and 4), I feel there might be excessive reading and even tests. Also, it's right after weight training, so... I'd never be clean during class. haha. Also, if it's stuff that I can just learn from books... maybe I don't really need to take it.
+ ANTH 470 - I've already taken a senior seminar, so I don't really need to. Also, it's at 9 AM in the morning. On Weds. That's not such a huge problem since I'll be used to waking up early to go to weight training, but... bleh!
+ ENGL 307 - Okay, I'm considering taking this pass/fail, mostly because I wasn't the greatest at phonetics and phonology in Study of Language, but I'm worried some of this stuff might be over my head. Also I'm not a huge fan of problem sets.

Blah blah so that's it. I noticed if I don't take Language and Society, I would only have TR classes, assuming I don't take ANTH 470. bahahahaha!!! But I promised Colton I would take that class, plus it's relevant to my major and life, so. guhhhh what is the best combo for these classes!?

ALSO I NEED TO REALIZE I AM WRITING AN HONORS THESIS, DAYUM. need to get my shit together on that!

HELP ME DECIDE, LJ ORACLE.
