Classes resume Monday. Three weeks of vacation sure went by in a hurry.

The history department is offering 36 upper-division courses for the upcoming semester. At the moment, 33 of them are closed. The three remaining have a total of four available seats between them. I'm already enrolled in one, another conflicts with another class I must take, and the third conflicts with the other history class I'm enrolled in this semester.

Which is to say, I'd like to take a third class in my department this semester, but I guess I'm going to have to go begging to the professors to let me in. They may or may not be able to, as sometimes class size is set by the professor's preferences, but other times it is a function of the assigned classroom and the fire code.

"Greek Civilization" and "Modern Korean History" conflict. I'd rather take Greek Civ, but I need to get a Asia-focus class in, so Korea it is.

UPDATE Sunday at 6:54 PM: Those four open seats are full. I've sent an email to a prof for a seminar I'd like to take, trying to balance the tone to "supplication" without slipping into either or "obsequiousness" or "dictation".
