Turns out that Virology isn't offered next year. I'd be stuck with Mycology instead, in my final quarter -- and that would be hard. I suck at identifying mushrooms and spore capsules. It would also mean I'd be taking 8 out of 12 units in classes that quarter, right when I'm hoping to wrap up my research.

So I signed up for Virology again this quarter. I'm taking 10 units of class. I'll be in my lab 1.5 days a week most weeks (which does make up roughly two units worth of time). Thursday will be difficult: 9:30-11:50, 12:10-1:30, 2:10-5. Wednesday is my only full day in lab, and I still have to leave a bit early to make it down to Union City in the evening. I get off early (1:30) on Tuesday, and I can go in late on my 11-3 Friday, though. Hopefully that will balance things out.

I think I can swing this. Case Studies is reportedly a no-brainer; it's just time-intensive. I expect Virology to try to kick my ass, especially with Bruening teaching it -- I had a taste of his teaching in the Biotechnology course I took, and he's a real slave-driver. (Incidentally, he accepted my request today to serve on my Master's Advising Committee, so I'll be seeing more of him anyway.) There's a limited amount of complexity with viruses, though, and I already know the primary testing techniques and basic anatomy. I'd much rather have this than Mycology. :)

I still have mornings free to work out, assuming I have the energy.

Next quarter I have to find a participatory seminar of some kind, as we have to take one each year; I may end up somewhere weird like Entomology for that. The only way to find them is to ask each department individually, which rather sucks. I'll start asking about mid-quarter, see what I can find.

Fall of '09 and Winter '10 will be almost empty now; I'll take the participatory seminar (if possible) in W'10, and I think Plant-Virus-Vector is that fall, which I've wanted to take since I first got to Davis. It's optional, and it should be fun. Winter '10 will be a good time to focus on research, though, and it's good timing.

There are rough spots, always, but it'll work out in the end. It always does.
