Haha. Why do international studies courses feel the need to make such lofty titles? Maybe it makes them feel more important. Any way. I’ve yet to enroll in SIS490 and am using SIS200: States and Capitalism in its stead as a placeholder. I think this will be the last, last SIS class I’ll take because I’m planning on dropping my minor. Turns out I need 3 instead of 2 more classes to graduate with my minor, and after taking this quarter’s “Making of the 21st Century” class, I have come to realize that I learned everything being taught from taking the upper-division courses already. Moreless, they’re just supplying me with busy work and trying to weed me out, although I’ve already proven myself capable from taking the higher level classes beforehand. Weird. Oh well.

Essentially if I do drop my minor, I will have a lighter course load for the rest of my college career, taking only 3 classes a quarter (all in “Balmer High”) up until graduation. If I end up becoming ASC Director, I will have to juggle that with being AKPsi’s social chair, making me busy enough as it is for my final year even without a minor.

As a matter of fact, dropping it will not even affect me in the long-term because I’ll still place it on my resume. No one will actually go out of their way and check my school records for consistency. Besides, I feel completely competent in the subject. I just do not feel the need to be exerted in taking classes in order to quantify how knowledgeable I am.

In the end, that’s how my schedule looks. I can’t believe I’m almost down to my senior year of college already. Where has the time gone, and why is this roller coaster constantly speeding up? Sooner than you know it, I will start posting entries about my first’s in the ‘real world.’ That is something scary to anticipate, so I should stop right here and actually get back to my response paper ~ drown myself in schoolwork to help avoid over-analyzing life once again, something that I often do.
