The Long Road

06/11/2003 Archived Entry: "Sheep"

Like many people i know, I decided to take THREE CS courses, one math elective, and one econ elective this upcoming term. The "normal" route involves taking two non-math electives instead of just one. So I'm making this harder for myself than I have to.

I did the same thing last term too when I took only 1 non-math elective instead of 2 and I did better than any previous terms, but PMATH 330 was a relatively easy math course. Three bee will certainly be the most challenging school term yet, I think.

My courses will be:
CS 370: Numerical Computation
CS 341: Algorithms
CS 354: Operating Systems
CO 350: Linear Optimization
ECON 220: Principles of Entrepreneurship

As usual I didn't get the exact schedule I wanted but this time I'm only off by one class. Thankfully CS classes are all designed so I can go to any other section and learn the same material.

See my schedule here and my ideal schedule here.

Hooray for picking courses! I managed to get all the classes I wanted plus one I didn't want but decided I should take.

entrepreneureship is listed under eco?

what a misnomer!

that's business all the way ... it's all about application vs. theory

Ya you're right, it IS business. The thought hadn't occured to that it wasn't really econ until you meantioned it. But you are a WLU girl so you should know better.

but your eco minor lets you take "entrepreneureship" ... that's soooo not even an economics course ...

pffft

I get to take anything called "econ" so nyah nyah!

I was actually more interested in ECON 231: International relations. or something like that. thats more up my alley.

international relations? pffft ...
i guess that could be like my international economics course ... there are a lot of "educational economics" courses like that ... but they need to be theory based to be considered economics, don't they? why don't you just go for a business minor ... that'd look much more impressive on the resume ... companies care more about business than eco

Maybe its called International Economics. I'm too lazy to look it up right now. I'm into economics mostly because of all the "theories" I think. The whole knowing why the economy is doing what it does thing is very appealing to me. Business to me seems more like its very focused on all the little details inside one company, and I don't think thats as cool.
