Hi Erin, Drop the Derrida. Hegel could work nicely with the Schelling course and is good background for you to take Derrida next year.

You must advise me. I am enrolled in 4 courses this semester: 1) German 2) Schelling/Rosenzweig/Heidegger 3) Seminar: Derrida 4) Hegel German is a full year course, and I can't drop it. The Derrida class I had to apply for to get into, and I can't drop it. I don't want to drop the Schelling/Rosenzweg/Heidegger class. Hegel I'm considering dropping, but I can't decide. If I don't drop a course, and I keep 4 this semester, I'll run myself into the ground. German is really difficult this year, Schelling et. all is with a demanding instructor, and the Derrida class is a 4th year seminar class which I'm technically not supposed to be in but somehow got into anyway. With Hegel on top of all that, odds are that I'll run the risk of doing poorly at something else (namely worse than I'm already doing in German), which means I'll jeopardize the renewal of my scholarship. However, if I do drop the Hegel course, I'll have to do two full credits in the summer to finish my 3rd year and to even requalify for my scholarship, not to mention study for and take those god damn GREs. So I can't bloody decide. This is th e last day to do it before I lose my money. Do I keep the Hegel class and put my other classes at risk or do I drop the Hegel class and suffer in the summer? Helllp meeeeee Erin Toronto ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
