Waltz to the Death
Feb. 5th, 2015 11:29 pmThis has been a frustrating week. This semester, I'm carrying three Public Health undergrad courses and two electives, both in A&S. I'm having problems giving a damn about two of the PHUN courses. 405 seems to be little more than a Version 1.0.2 of last semester's 400, and, goddamn, 430 again and for two more semesters. Just, no.
441 (Introductory Epidemiology), on the other hand is the high point of my week. Like last semester's Biostatistics, this is a challenge, and I have to work hard to keep my progress up.
I've asked myself, and others, if there's any real point to taking the second year of undergrad courses and getting my BA with the program's inaugural class in 2016. The answer is, increasingly clearly, No. It won't help me professionally, delaying my entry into the field and adding another year's worth of debt.
No classes tomorrow. Good opportunity to contact my advisor and one of my professors from the fall and get their take on this.
