<p>You sort of catch on. I’m not even a student yet and I unconsciously think 5 when someone I know around here tells me they’re majoring in Chemistry. </p>
<p>It’s sort of like learning your ABCs- you didn’t sit down and learn them in a rote memorization session at age 3 (at least I didn’t…). You learn them in context over time. Same thing with the course numbers. I tried listing them all at once for a few upperclassmen at CPW and missed like 2, both of which were majors I had never had even an inkling of interest in, so I’d never been exposed to them.</p>
