Figuring Out My Spring 05 Schedule

When I was young, some of my favorite comic books were the Marvel "What If...?" series, where some decision or event happened differently and they show the consequences. The spring course schedule is out, and it's time to play What If with my schedule. "What if I took Class X? Then I need Class Y so I have enough units to graduate." Etc.

It's hard to believe that it is already time to choose spring classes and that this is the last time I'm ever going to do it. Grad school is rushing by.

And oh the decisions I have to make. Here's a small sampling of the courses I could choose from:

• Game Theory
• Complex Technological Systems
• Design, Management and Organizational Behavior
• Designing for Service
• Aesthetics and Design
• Human Factors in Architecture
• Physical Computing: Wearables
• Game Design
• Rapid Prototyping of Computer Systems
• and literally dozens more.

But I've only got two slots left and the last semester is very intense, thesis-project wise. Plus job hunting. And teaching. So I don't want to overextend myself. Decisions, decisions.
