Fourth class?/music

<p>So right now, my spring schedule consists of Chem 4B, Math 54, and Physics 7B. I’m looking for a fourth class. Due to schedule conflicts and filled up classes, I don’t have a lot of choices. They are:</p>

<ul>
<li>Music 135A (however, the discussion sections that are open conflict with some of my classes (and a possible decal), so I may need to waitlist into a discussion. The waitlist is automatic.)</li>
<li>History 125B (no worries about enrolling)</li>
<li>History 114B (no worries here either)</li>
<li>History 30B (I have two choices: one with four people on the waitlist, or one with one person on the waitlist (this, however, will create a 5 hour long block of classes, with a 40 minute break before the math lecture)).</li>
</ul>

<p>I’m not looking for a class with too much work, as I already have my three technical classes.</p>

<p>Also, how hard is it to get into the symphony orchestra? I’m not a stellar violinist (failed to get into a youth orchestra before my senior year… but I auditioned at a time when they were looking for just a few more after the larger wave of auditions… didn’t have the best history with the violin, y’see…). Would I be better off in the chamber music decal?</p>

<p>So I’m not sure about whether I can take that decal, seeing that it might conflict with Chem 4B (voluntary) discussions (not that all of the Chem 4A ones have been helpful, but there were two review sessions for the midterms during the discussion time… although only one was good)…</p>

<p>So yeah, I’d have no problems enrolling in Music 135A, History 125B, and History 114B. I’m currently #5 on the waitlist for a History 30B discussion (it’s automatic). Is that good? Should I go for one of the other three classes I’ve listed? And I’m still asking about the music thing…</p>

<p>So I’m ruling out Music 135A. I think I should waitlist for a History 30B discussion section so that I’ll be #2 for the discussion’s waitlist (even if that means 5 hours straight of classes before a short break before the next one). How are history waitlists? The class limit is 80, I’m #8, there are 79 enrolled, and the waitlist is automatic.</p>

<p>Also, how are History 114B (Deshpande), 118C (with Franks, someone new…), or 125B (Martin) in terms of interest/workload? Are they worth taking, with my current schedule in mind?</p>
