so, with four days left until the deadline, i finally filled out my pre-registration of classes form. at this point, i just felt like picking classes and getting the damn paperwork out of the way. besides, i probably will have a ridiculous draw number and have to change it all around anyway ( Read more... )

Bodies and Texts is such an amazingly good class. If you plan on taking Intro to Women's Studies, there is a lot of overlap. But actually Bodies and Texts is the better class. And Robertson is amazing; I have her again this semester for Women in Popular American Media.

Jewish Identity/Jewish Politics is tedious, but ultimately rewarding. I had a different prof, but grading was HARSH. It's the class I did worst in thus far. I really did learn a lot, though, so it was well worth it.

i was going to try to get Bodies and Texts in my schedule no matter what.. but it seemed like i had to take Intro to Women's Studies sometime anyway as a prerequisite for the upper level classes. and i didn't want to be redundant.

ehh should i try to wait to take Jewish Politics class? i mean so that i don't start off my first semester with such a rough class? i get really turned off from a subject when i try hard but don't think my grades are fairly reflecting that.. so i might not get everything out of it. plus, i'm not exactly going to be one of the top-notch students at vassar. i'm probably going to be in trouble because i'm a slacker and have little attention span. oh well.

thanks for the input!

Honestly if you're into WS, I would try to take Bodies and Texts even if it is a bit redundant because it's a much better class, Robertson is an amazing professor, and it'll blow your mind (I say this in all honesty!). Intro can be a bit of a turn off, but this class will eclipse that.

It might not be a bad idea to wait on Jewish Id/Pol. Your class will probably be significantly different from mine, though, because you have different professors and it's team-taught. So grading will probably be different. If you're interested in going further with it (I wasn't, not really) then taking it early is generally better.

Anyway, first semester freshman year, your grades are probably going to be lower than you want and then you'll rebound. It happened to a lot of people.
