I made a decison to change one of my classes next term. I should have thought it through better when I first registered, but oh well.
I dropped Environmental Economics. This class is offered every term, so there's no rush on taking it. It is being taught by the same professor that I didn't care for that much. And the textbooks were the same, which kind of said that I might be hearing a lot of the same stuff over again. I would like to take this class eventually, but I think I want to take it from a different professor.
As well as majoring in economics, I have been thinking about getting a minor in business. I signed up for the first of 6 classes that I would need to take, BUS101 Intro to Business and World Affairs. Since it's only a 100-level class it should be relatively easy. I'm hoping it will give me a better idea if I want to go ahead and try for the minor. It should look good on a resume and will be very valuable if I end up going into business for myself. I found a used textbook for $41 and ordered it last night. The class is limited to 60 people. I'm on the wait list, but I'm confident that I will get in because a lot of people drop classes in the first week. Although it shouldn't matter, this wouldn't have been the case if I had considered this earlier. The remaining five classes for the minor all sound very interesting and are 300-level classes.
I'm also considering taking one class over the summer, but I HAVE to find a summer job if I want to do that. I should have one even if I don't take a class. I'm hoping the spring term will require less work than this term has. Then I'll have the time to start looking around for job possibilities while I'm still in school.
