History

Or, my not getting any history class I want.

There's one I have to take for an upper distribution credit. That one's good. The other one I was going to take for the minor. I had my sights set on either History of England or Medieval Intellectual History.

History of England fell through, because I am not comfortable with having oral reports and debate being 70% of the grade. A challenge, yes. A challenge among a semester of challenges when I increasingly realize I need a break? I didn't take it.

So I was really looking forward to Medieval Intellectual History, a challenge that promised to be engaging and enriching. Instead, I check today, and it has been switched with modern European Intellectual History.

And of course by now every single class I would take otherwise is already full, and most don't have waitlists. (The only one that really fits into my schedule and that I'd know I'd like... and that is already full... is the American Revolution class. Graaawr.)

So I have a question that I'm going to look into. If you apply for graduation with a History minor, can you still drop that minor? Because unless I can get added into that one class, or something else miraculous opens up... I'll be stuck with a host of less desirable options.
