I was really dumb with planning out what units I was going to do at the start of the year as I wasn't sure about my major/minor, and just picked a sampling of 8 units that sounded easy or that I thought I might be interested in. But now that I'm a bit (a lot) clearer on where my interests lie, I've realised I'm going to pay dearly for my dumb choices in sem 1 (incl. not meeting prerequisites for second year subjects, having a low WAM, not being able to do everything I want to in my arts major/minor if and when I manage transfer into the double degree course structure).
Right now I've dropped intro to tv studies and intro to korean 2 and I'm trying to substitute in two 2nd year units by sending off a barage of desperate emails to some unfortunate unit coordinators just trying to enjoy their holidays. I'm starting to get really conscious of how much this stuff costs - just filling up two more slots in my timetable for the sake of doing 4 units costs me 1200 bucks, and as interesting as I'm sure the political economy of australian television is, I'd prefer doing something constructive.
Like this. Jesus christ, this is just Unit 3 AoS 1 for Global Politics. Let me at it, I'll smash it, to hell with your pre-reqs monash.
100% of my problems right now are doing intro to korean instead of intro to politics in semester one <= which on reflection is probably an indication that my life is pretty easy.
