So no, I'm not taking any other course to replace the one I dropped. I figure I'll just do 4.5 next semester. I can even do that at the Marine Lab if need be so whatever. I'm not going to look for creative ways to torture myself.

I met my Independent Study prof. for the 1st time today...and got 120 pages of reading for my trouble. Not that I'm complaining...the BIAC people are great, I might get an opportunity to publish something under them this semester, and they may well be my ticket into grad school. I will do my reading. Happily. Or as happily as I can. Mmmm...coffee.
