ugh my graduation is coming up within the this year, and i'm having a hard time choosing courses to take. i never really appreciated the range my university has to offer until now, when it's just about too late :(

i have 3 courses that i need for graduation, probably just 2 quarters left, and like 6 courses i want to take... mostly communications and biology courses.

i want to say that i wish i didn't squander earlier courses, but looking back, i don't regret taking any course, i learned a fair amount from most of them. if i had to pick some not to have taken, it would probably be chemistry... anyways just felt sad and wanted to ramble... and procrastinate :p

Yep. In particular I want to take this semiconductor fabrication course which completely takes place in the clean room fab facility. The problem is, I've already taken a semiconductor fabrication course as an undergrad (but we didn't have a clean room) and also it's not an advanced graduate course, which is all I need now :(

what were your majors?

economics, gov't, and history.

when selecting from classes like... 'game theory', 'monetary theory', 'social revolution in latin america', 'the atlantic revolutions', 'US-soviet relations', 'the causes of war', and, my favorite, 'covert operations and strategic intelligence,' it's hard to choose, so i just picked them all.

3 majors? I had no idea.

Yeah there are classes I want to take but probably won't have time for. Maybe I'll stay an extra year or something.

There are a bunch of history classes I want to take but won't have the time. My honors thesis has been a blast though :)
