<p>I know you’re excited about yale, and that’s good. Indulge that. But stay flexible with your course schedules. There are lots of classes that you won’t know about until the blue book comes out, and you should do yourself a service by reading the whole book, even in departments that you think you’d never be interested in. </p>
<p>Some of the best classes i’ve taken were fun random classes that i hadn’t planned… like Latin and the Romance Languages (discontinued… a romance linguistics course), US Lesbian and Gay History, and Roman Architecture. There are lots of random gems that you’d miss out on if you set your course schedule now.</p>
<p>Not that i think you’re doing that… i think you’re just excited, which is good. But the best thing you can do with blue booking and shopping is to explore as much as possible. It’s ok to shop 15 classes (just not for more than a few days…).</p>
