Oh. Okay!

So if any of you aren't familiar with BYU schedules, the school is kind enough to provide you with a suggested schedule for getting your GEs done along with the required courses for your major.

I've come to realize that they do this for a reason. And that the suggestions they make should be carefully considered if and before you decide to throw them out the window.

Basically,

If they suggest that you take American Heritage one semester and First Year Writing the other you should take the advice. It's not an insult on your intelligence or ability to handle the rigor, it's just a friendly suggestion that will make your life easier.

I didn't take the advice.

And I'm kicking myself a little bit.

You see, not only am I enrolled in both courses in one semester, I'm taking them on the same days, one right after the other. I have two-ish essays due tomorrow: the first one is for American Heritage and that one's due at eight tomorrow (now this) morning. The second was graciously changed to a detailed outline rather than the actual essay, but I haven't even started that one. It's due at one.

So next time I see a suggestion on MyMap regarding which courses I should take, I'm going to say "Oh. Okay!" rather than defiantly sign up for the course anyway. I'd recommend, if this is at all pertinent to you, to do the same. Take good advice into careful consideration. You never know how much it will save you in the end :)
