Playing the System

While signing up for classes, I noticed that I have 9.5 credits so far. I still need 2 or 3 at least to become a full time student. But the 9.5 credits add up to 17 hours of my week, so if I get a 3 credit class, chances are I will have 20 hours of school or more and I don't feel like taking much more than that. I'm thinking of taking some chemistry, physics, or biology as my free electives. As crazy as it may sound, I kind of miss science classes. Anyway, I may be getting gypped out of time and not being given credits for it, but I am getting them back in my own personal way. The reason why I haven't signed up for my last class, is that I'm looking not for a certain subject, but a certain time slot. If I get the one I want, I'll end up with no school on Monday, and only one hour of lecture on Friday from 12:10 to 1:00. That's right folks, you read it right, and you can go back if you need to and read it again, that's a three and a half day weekend! I kind of fell into that last semester, and now that I have tasted it, I want more. It's also way good for the way I operate, because I need large blocks of time in order to be efficient and/or even motivated to do homework. Three and a half days should be plenty of time to do that, among other things.
