academic excitement. (mostly notes for myself.)
I realized last Thursday, while doing some numbers about fall quarter registration, that I appear to need roughly 30 more credits on my AA after this quarter, which should mean I will be ready to transfer to UW for spring quarter.
I'm going to see an academic adviser after class today and have her go over my numbers, make sure I haven't overlooked any prereqs, etc, but after that I think the next order of business is to start writing my personal statement and getting my UW application ready.
Being at UW for spring quarter means arriving in sequence to take German 103. Tomorrow I complete WAL's German 4, which is equivalent to completing UW's German 102, so I decided yesterday not to continue at WAL. It's a sad decision, because I have liked my classmates and teacher a lot, but getting back the 8-10 hours per week I spent in class and in transit will do me good, and I have tools to practice in the interim.
It also occurred to me yesterday that I may be able to transfer WAL/SPU credits toward my AA at SCCC, rather than just toward my BA at UW -- if that's the case, I'll need only 22 more credits, which means my rule of thumb of 12 credits per quarter (the bare minimum to receive finaid for full time attendance) will work fine.
Assuming the adviser tells me I got the math right, my next goal is to have the UW app ready before the start of fall quarter. (Before the end of summer quarter would be even better, but it's always going to be lower priority than homework.)
