Classes I am taking this term:

• 5.60: Thermodynamics and Kinetics
• 6.002: Circuits and Electronics
• 7.27: Principles of Human Disease
• 14.13: Economics and Psychology
• 24.06: Bioethics

The thermo class and human disease class are required for my major (biology, for those behind on the latest version of my plans); the circuits class should allow me to take a slightly less intensive lab class than the one required for people who want to be lab biologists, so that's cool. The economics and psychology class I'm actually looking forward to, and it should help me finish my econ minor if I still choose to go for that. And the bioethics class is supposed to be quite easy, relatively palatable, and fulfills a mandatory humanities requirement. Whee!
