Achoo!

Yeah, it's definitely allergy season. Blah. Hopefully it'll be over soon! The weekend was really good, though. I hadn't been to an Easter vigil in years and years and years and the one at the Cathedral was absolutely beautiful. And not as crowded as the Masses the next day, apparently.

I spent awhile today thinking over my schedule for next semester. I still haven't fully decided what to take yet...there are a lot of math classes that look interesting and I have to figure out what makes the most sense for my major and interests. I'm only certain of 3 classes (Signals & Systems, Principles of Programming, and Theories of International Relations). The math classes I'm debating among are diffEq, linear, number theory, and matrix. I had the professor that's teaching matrix for concepts of math in the fall and I really liked him, so that's tempting. I think number theory would be super interesting; it's just a matter of convincing myself that I can actually wrap my head around the concepts. diffEq and linear just seem like good ideas for the major and I heard that the diffEq professor is a decent lecturer. Also there's another International Relations class I want to take (Arab/Israeli conflicts). We shall see, though. It's been really nice this semester to be finally only taking classes that I really want to be taking. I'm going to have to be careful not to take too heavy of a load in the fall since I might also be doing research in the CS department (*crosses fingers*).

Also had a math foundations of ee test today. Boy was that painful. I didn't study too much for it but I don't think studying would have helped me...none of the things that I got tripped up on were things I would have thought to look up beforehand. I seem to have continued my streak of nailing the problems that most of the rest of the class got tripped up on, and not having a clue on some of the "gimmie" problems. I hate when I do that, and I wish I knew why it happened. You would think that if I could do the hard stuff without a problem then the easy ones would be even less of an issue, but that's just not so...
