Thinking ahead to Fall Semester.
Wednesday, May 7, 2008 @ 5:54 pm
Well, a partial list of courses came out today at SDSU's WebPortal, and let me just say: choosing courses is going to be HARD. There are so many interesting classes related to what I want to do and I want to take them all! (But to do so would pretty much result in me being in this Master's program for three [or more!] years...)

One thing I am rather excited about is that since this will be my first semester in the M.S. program, I don't have a formalized Plan of Study yet, which means that at least for this semester, I can choose whatever crazy classes I want to take! However much free reign I have over my first semester of schooling, I will show restraint and actually choose courses that I will likely include on my Plan of Study so I won't have to backtrack and stay in the program any longer than I have to. But I think I will go ahead and take one course that I know for sure WON'T be on there (it sticks out like a sore thumb so you DEFINITELY will know it when you see it)...

So these are the possibilities (so far) I have to choose from:

BIOL 567: Advanced Biochemistry, Cell, and Molecular Biology
BIOL 576: Developmental Biology
BIOL 590: Physiology of Human Systems
CHEM 711: Chemical Thermodynamics
CHEM 764: Membrane Biochemistry
FILIP 101: Elementary Tagalog I
M BIO 601: Colloquium in Molecular Biology
M BIO 610: Advanced Topics in Molecular Biology

I'm leaning towards the following:

FILIP 101 (4 units) MW 2:00-3:50p
M BIO 610 (3 units) MW 4:30-5:45p
BIOL 567 (4 units) TR 9:30-10:45a F 9:00-9:50a
BIOL 590 (4 units) TR 2:00-3:50p
M BIO 601 (1 unit) R 4:00-4:50p

Of course, this could all change if I get a TA/GA appointment, in which case, I'll probably have to drop a class. I wish they'd tell me already. Geez. The suspense is killing me!

Oh, but now I'm getting ahead of myself. I haven't yet found a place to live, so until that gets squared away, thinking about what classes to take seems like the least of my problems.

Damn, I wish I had the same predicament as you. My problem was not having any classes that I wanted to take... :/

I would take chemical thermodynamics. But given what you are studying, maybe that isn't the best. But I would definitely take freakin Elementary Tagalog, who HAS that?

salamat!

Oh and guess what, my poor kitty has asthma! She was having a bunch of asthma attacks and my roommate had to take her to the emergency room and now she has steroids! :( :( :(
