School Ponderings

So, $500 will give me half a credit. (One course = half a credit)

I have 6 Credits so far - the Certificate of Business Administration
A Bachelor of Business Administration is 20 credits (of which I have 6)
The Certificiate in Business Administration is another 6 credits
A Bachelor of Arts is 15 credits (of which, I think I can use all 6 of my current credits)
I work in a business type environment
So far the only advantage the business courses have given me are the confidence of knowing I have taken university courses. They haven't really taught me much I haven't already known. (Much of it is common sense - if you price something too high, people won't buy it. Who woulda thunk it!)
The stuff it has taught me is already gone because I don't use it. (Price Elasticity? PFFFFFFFT!)
At least 4 and a half of the next 6 credit courses are BOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRING (Statistics, finance, managerial accounting...)
If I should stay in the BBA program, I'm a third of the way there.
If I switch to a BA program, I'm almost half the way there.

What to do, what to do.

Ok, let's think small picture.
I can take electives now. I have a couple I'm allowed to take. Let's take something fun that could go towards either program.
So, then the question is this. Two courses or one? What about a distance course and an in-class course? That'd keep me home more often. What about just one fun course to use up the $500. What course?

Here is the undergraduate calendar. Anybody have any suggestions?

Damn me and my ambition. I *know* I could do two courses a term, but I know it spreads me too thin.

I don't understand the calendar.

I guess I need to go back to school. !

Are you in the BUSI program and saying you can take electives from the others?

Where's the second half of the sailing report?

Am I on your calendar?

*falls over*

*picks up*

Yeah, if I continue in the BUSI program I can take electives from other programs.

I haven't got as far as the sailing report yet. Soon...

Okay...

If it were me I'd look at Psych and Fine Arts. Or Women's Studies.

Art would be the most fun. I think Psych is fun too. I get way to serious during womens studies.

Philosophy courses were most fun for me - mainly because they were on the opposite side of the campus as the engineering center - and I'm not just talking about location. It's mostly BS, but that's what was fun about it. You get to ponder about whether or not you exist and come up with logical conclusions like "I'm pink,therefore I'm spam."

It's a toss up between the philosophy courses and the religious courses - assuming I decide to accept the scholarship (which I'm leaning against doing right now). Philosophy for those reasons - and the fact that you get to twist your brain into pretzle like shapes trying to understand something deeper, and religious studies because part of me hates ignorance in religion and part of me is just interested in understanding "why".
