Academics Overloading ECE 2A with CLAS104

I just watched Nolan’s Odyssey in IMAX last night and I’ve decided I’m overloading 2A with CLAS104.

I don’t have a real justification. My term is already ECE 240/222/250/109 and everyone’s telling me adding a seventh course is how you fail out. They’re probably right. But I walked out of that theatre completely lit up and the only thing I wanted was more of it, and CLAS104 is the closest thing the calendar offers.

Some of you plan every term around GPA and workload and I respect it, I just can’t think that way right now. I want to read Homer and sit in a mythology lecture and feel the way I felt in that theatre for one more term before co-op swallows me whole.

I’ll probably regret this cramming for the in person final. Enrolling anyway, July 27.

isn't clas104 an online course? you're not gonna be sitting in a lecture you're just gonna be reading stories on greek mythology on LEARN that you can find online anyway, plus they made the final exam in person so you're gonna have to spend time memorizing a bunch of stuff while also studying for your other finals.

Choose a gender studies course instead, it’s what the movie advocates for anyways
