Setting up a course schedule is exciting. It contains the potential of a million Wonka bars but just as much uncertainty. This upcoming semester was nice to put together. Nice in the way that large bears are nice when viewed from a safe distance.

It started out with the classes I was sure of needing. This spring will focus on my Industrial Design courses so I can chip away at the requirements there, but I am also taking some ME courses so as to fill up the credit hours. Unfortunately, ID courses are now offered in great quantities as I am used to. Even more unfortunate, I’ve reached the point in ME where I have one or two class-time options for my courses. So let’s take a look at what evolved.

First, we have the schedule. This is an example week of the classes. Don’cha love the two three-hour classes. And especially the three hour class that begins 10 minutes after an 8am. So, after the initial frustrations of this line-up, the outlook gets somewhat hazy.

Naturally, there is some disorder developing as I try to adjust to long evening classes, particularly the one ending at about 10pm. It’s going to be tough enough waking up for an 8am after a 10pm, but that’s not even considering homework loads and the job.

Eventually, my semester comes down to perseverance. I’m looking forward to a different schedule - notice how the Tues & Thurs 7am workouts are no longer a possibility - and would agree that I need a change of regimented routine. Or, I think I just don’t need a routine. Habit is a great deadener, you know.
