Academic Fantasizing
Jun. 16th, 2005 12:40 amHaving finished the homework for this week... I'm taking a moment to fantasize about having my life back. I have one more semester after this (the fall), and some paperwork and that's it. So.. one more course. I'm looking at the offerings and seeing:
- LAN/WAN networking - in Waltham - probably not challenging - I've taken this course undergrad, and my job has kept me pretty up to speed on this stuff.
- operating systems - in Westboro - challenging but useful - operating systems are the big black hole for me. I don't know what's in there. I do applications, I do networks. I seem to have a empty space where the knowledge of the in-between stuff would be. Apparently the O.S. is run by magic fairies.
Both qualify for the last core course credit I need. No other courses offered at Worchester Campus are new and different from these, so they are not worth looking at. Nothing else in Waltham/Westboro gives me the core course qualification I need. Most of the offerings I've already taken.
The tradeoffs:
- the first course is easy and close - Waltham is 10 minutes from work, and has lots of great places to grab dinner before/after.
- the second course is more useful, and less boring - but Westboro is an hour from work, and an hour home, and has only 1 or two good restaraunts.
What's a geek girl to do?
