Got up at 7, had chinese class for a couple hours. The test and dictation were fine.
Came back, went through the next lesson. The set of new words for tomorrow is smaller than the past few days, which was nice.
Finished studying that mid afternoon; caught up on some emails later in the afternoon, also did some math homework.
Had dumplings for dinner, they were good, I added lots of garlic.
Went to taiji this evening. Not very many people there, so I did a somewhat abbreviated practice.
Came back this evening and found that most of the classes for next semester have been posted. Tried to figure out a schedule for the spring, although it all depends what happens with chinese. Sent my pomona professor an email asking what I should plan to do.
Hopefully I can do something like:
Chinese
CS 131 (programming languages)
Algorithms
Modern China (english Mudd Humanities course)
Graph theory / Advanced topics in Number Theory
PE
Advanced Chinese Conversation / CS Colloquium
(User Interface Design)
For 15 or 18 credits.
At 18 Credits, Remaining for the CS Major are:
Clinic (2 semesters)
Number Theory Or Scientific Computing
Basically, the deal is that if I can somehow take the chinese class to get through advanced chinese rather than through intermediate (count this year as getting through two years, either by starting in second half of advanced or doing a more intense schedule somehow) then It becomes very very possible to double major with chinese. There are essentially 5 classes I’ll need to take as a senior to complete everything, which would still mean only like 12 credits a semester.
It’s really about the practicality of being able to get through advanced chinese in the spring.
