Advising Anyone?

Academic advisers. I had my first face to face meeting with mine this week. We had talked over the phone over the summer to analyze my schedule for first semester, but I'd met her before yesterday. I took everybody's advice and came with questions prepared. Well, question, singular. It was, generally, "Can you help me to get all my core requirements sorted out so I can get busy taking classes I'm interested in?" Her answer? "Yes!" Luckily, I took quite a few APs in highschool so a lot of my core requirements are already fulfilled (I knew all that work had to count for something!).

So, I know what you're thinking, "it's so early to be thinking about classes for next semester". Au contraire, mon frere. If you actually care what classes you take, and I assume most people do, then it's best to get on it really early. She told me that registration starts on November 9 but that I should try to plan out my schedule before then so I can have a good chance of getting in to those classes that I really want, but might fill up quickly with upperclassmen. She also told me to pad my schedule. Basically put like 20 hours on my schedule at first, then feel out the classes and drop the ones I hate. Sounds good to me. The real problem will be narrowing the list down to 9 classes in the first place. Being "undecided" I basically have the whole course list to choose from. Overwhelming? Sure. Awesome? Definitely.
