2nd shopping day

I'm totally overwhelmed with trying to figure out classes. I had a stomachache before my stats class. I'm now regretting showing up at 201 stats/quant class. It was so boring. Will the A section be more work but be more interesting and challenging in a good way? The interesting thing is that I think I would like to use calculus, but do I want to do the work? Will it help me in my applications to be in the A section or will anyone even know? I'm very confused, and if I sign up for the A section now I might be very far behind. Should I e-mail the prof of the A section? Why not.

Great, though, to have Allison and her little babe sitting in class. I met her back at the reception for admitted students. She was pregnant at the time and planning on having her baby 6 weeks before classes started. I thought, "yeah right." We'll see if she's there, but then I heard her speak at her class' intros, which was very exciting. She had her babe wrapped in a didymos-like wrap. The babe slept the whole time. But the amazing thing was that she was the resident expert on the topic in our quant class - charter schools. It was very cool to see her participate and speak so eloquently by holding her two month old . It was great - and Deborah was very accomodating, as well. Go moms!

I'm not crazy about the Macro class - so now I'm wondering if I should sacrifice it for qualitative analysis class. Yikes, I need to decide within 24 hours. Uh oh. I think I do want to take the macro class and the instructor is supposed to be good, but she wasn't very appealing while shopping - maybe she was one of the profs who doesn't like to shop their classes. Don't blame them, really.

More classes to shop today and the shorenstein open house is today ....
