Do you believe in science? She's perfect chemistry...

Today was much better health wise than usual. Although I'm starting to feel slightly dizzy/lightheaded now, I was able to get up this morning and drive Josh to work. I also stopped by Dr. Phillips office to talk to him about my degree.

There are about 70 million sociology classes available this summer and fall, yet I cannot take any of them. It says they are for distance learning majors only. I find that funny since I'm a Social Science Interdisciplinary major and the definition of Sociology is :
the science of society, social institutions, and social relationships

You see that? Should be right up an SSI majors ally. So I found out how to get into those classes since I would like it make it my secondary discipline. Apparently I just have to harass the sociology advisor until he's so sick of me calling he gives in. :D

While I was there Dr. Phillips also did a graduation check for me. Turns out I'm farther into my degree than I thought. One trip to my advisor and I'm three classes closer to my degree requirements. If I take the sociology class at GCCC this summer as a transient student I will be left with 30 elective credit hours (after taking the rest of my history and 3 more sociology at FSU). That's 10 three credit hour classes of anything I want! That's half of my required 60 hours needed to graduate. This means I can take even more history and won't have to settle for other random classes that I won't find interesting. It also means I can get a jump start on my Master's degree, taking pretty much only 5000+ level classes my final semester.

Freedom to choose the classes I actually want feels pretty amazing.
