One of the things I had forgotten when looking at classes was that I have the absolute last scheduling window available, as I'm a non-degree student. In sum, well, this says it all:

Classes I'm Currently Enrolled In 03121 MODERN BIOLOGY MWF 14:3-15:2 98023 STUCO LIMBO PRGRMMG MW 19:-19:5

Classes I'm waitlisted for 80236 A PHILOSOPHY AND LAW 21 out of 21 85251 A PERSONALITY 23 out of 26 85414 A CGNTV NEUROPSYCH 4 out of 4

The other psych class, Research Methods, I'm attempting to get into via another route. Remember, I only get two classes a semester. So, why Modern Biology? It's the start of a long chain of prerequisites that'll lead me into some heavy-duty neurology classes.. I want as broad a background as possible in everything that could relate to Cognition, so when I start a PhD, and a later career, I'll be able to pull all that stuff together to make interesting discoveries. The Limbo programming? It's a class on programming using Limbo/Inferno, both developed in Bell Labs as successors to Unix and C. It probably won't be immediately practical, but it might give me new ideas on how to approach some problems in programming (just as Perl has influenced my C quite a bit -- I now really like function pointers and stuff like map{}). If I get into 85414, I'll probably drop 98023, and if I get both it and the research methods class, I'll drop both classes I'm in now..

For fall, I stumbled onto a course description for a really interesting looking class, Psych 352: Evolutionary Psychology. I also found out that one of my particular interests in psychology might be covered by a lab run by my psych professor for this semester. Cool!
