My crazy, crazy life

Classes started yesterday, and they went really well until about 10:30 this morning when I was sitting in the first day of my German 431 class. When I registered for classes back in November, German 431 and 334 did not show any necessary pre-requisite courses in order to be in the class. But when I got there today, I was told that both of them require German 202 to be completed, which I am taking this semester. So, I had to drop both of those classes which put me down to 9 hours, and I have to have 12 hours to be a full-time student. I was really irritated because they are supposed to list all necessary pre-requisites, but they didn't and now nothing I need for my degree plan is open. I talked to my advisor, and my only option was to take any class just to get 12 hours, so I emailed Dr. Krammer to see if he would do an Independent Reasearch Study with me. Luckily he said he would, so that brings me up to full time and it will be very helpful for graduate school. Basically, that means I only have 3 real classes and then I will be working with Dr. Krammer to do research for a thesis I will be writing for a grade for the class. It's not an ideal situation, but I am much less angry now and I'm excited about doing research with Dr. Krammer!
