Maybe three, not one...

carlfoxmartenSo far this semester I'm officially registered in one course (Distributed Systems, writing programs in such a way so they work together on multiple computers towards solving a given problem), am on the waitlist for another one (Programming Languages, a comparison of several you wouldn't ordinarily think about, but have valuable lessons that could prove very useful), and am kind of interested in another course (Advanced topics on Artificial Intelligence).
The last course is actually a graduate course, though the instructor is prepared to move mountains to get me in if I say I want it.
(knowing people in high places sure has advantages)
The course on programming languages is taught by an instructor I've had before and really enjoyed.
He has a great sense of humour, but still does a great job of teaching.
Not only that, but the content of the course should be very useful for improving the quality of my code.
Right now I'm third in the waitlist down from tenth, and I only have two days left before I'll automatically slide into a vacated seat.
After Tuesday, I'll need to see an advisor to try getting in, and only if a seat becomes available.
(I'm hoping rather hard, if you can't tell)
The Distributed Systems course should prove useful, though the instructor is one I haven't take a course under yet, and she's proving a little hard to read.
She has a pretty good sense of humour when she's not teaching, but becomes rather serious during class.
I can't tell if it's just how boring the introductory material is or if this is how she rolls.
Anyway, so I'm officially registered in one course, waitlisted for another, and pending on a third, none of which have any scheduling conflicts (so far), and all of which I'm interested in, one way or another.
Now I need to make a decision on the AI course soon...
(it feels like a rather tough choice right now)
