yes, i'm tired.
*grumblegrumble* effing MIT security. it took me way too long to get the stupid certificates i needed just to enter the stupid HASS-D (HASS = humanities, arts, and social sciences) lottery. (and i just used "stupid" twice in the same sentence. hmm...)

Anyway, you're allowed to rank up to 6 classes, but you only get one. Paperwork (er, computerwork) at MIT must be very complicated...

So here were my choices, in order of preference:
1. American Foreign Policy: Past, Present, and Future
2. Fundamentals of Public Policy
3. Introduction to Western Music
4. The Film Experience
5. Moral Problems and the Good Life
6. Introduction to Fiction ("Christine, this is Fiction. Fiction, Christine." </daydream>)

Yeah, yeah... tell me I'm boring. I just didn't have it in me to add Introduction to Art History (that would make 3 classes from the visual and performing arts category) or Introduction to Japanese Culture (the course description was basically, "We watch anime"). :P

Too many choices as of late. That should be a good thing, but you know me... hopelessly indecisive. runs in the family. all these little independencies (?) are adding up, and it ends up being very confusing and stressful, instead of what it should be (liberating, empowering...) :P

On a brighter note, tomorrow's Friday the 15th, which means HALF BLOOD PRINCE AT 12:01!!!


hp + cl = bff

What are you studying up at MIT? That sounds way too humanities-oriented for "the Georgia Tech of the north." ;o) They have a sci/tech/society program that's sort of like what I did at Tech, but not quite...is that what you're doing?

haha, no, i'm not actually taking all those classes. :P we get to submit up to six, but we only get one. hass is mit's way of making sure nobody gets too... uh... math/sciencey, i guess. *shrug* but, yeah, i think they have a literature major, too.

HASS classes here really blow. At least, in my opinion, they do. That's why so many people take Econ as their HASS Concentration. XD

PS: Make sure to take a HASS-D CI and take advantage of Pass/No Record.

They have all of those classes at Tech, albeit with much more boring names.
