hammering out a schedule

after dropping and adding and switching and requesting and pleading and so forth, i think i've finally got a schedule worked out for the semester. its not the schedule i want, but nonetheless, its a schedule with classes i have to take, darn it. and, can you believe it, at the moment i'm taking on 16 hours this semester. overachiever perhaps? nope. you can't really be an overachiever with simply one extra hour, although for some reason it sure looks like a lot more. i'm going to have a great time trying to remember when and where i'm supposed to be...every day i have a different schedule. but they say variety is the spice of life and all that. those of you who know me know how much i love spice.

looking at the key (the student's cheat sheet to selecting professors based on percentage of a's, b's, c's, and so on they give out), only one class really worries me. its not because all the other ones are guaranteed a's (though that’s not the case, either). its because out of the dozen or so professors that teach family economics, the highest percentage of a's given out is 7%. that’s the highest...and its only one professor. that means for every 13 people, only one person ends up with an a. if that doesn't say yikes, i don't know what does.

and now begins the semester that will mark the halfway point.
