Hi Erin,

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

Sincerely,

I have a dilemma.  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
