Anyway in an effort to get the most efficient schedule possible I did the rational thing, I made a spreadsheet.
Now I need to take four classes and three are required so I needed to pick one more class.
I generated a multi-tab spreadsheet, one tab for each elective class. I then filled out the spreadsheet with how much sleep, class time, etc would fit into the day.
Then I wrote some little aggregation code so I could see how the different classes compared to each other. For some reason my wife thought that this was the geekiest thing that I have ever done, and has been laughing at me for months.
You would think that going to get a PhD or two would have clued her in a while ago that I am a geek.
(Sad side note, to one up my own geekiness I just spent an hour playing with a visualization api to turn that data into a treemap and accidentally clicked on a link and lost all of my work. Sorry for the lack of pretty pictures to display my data.)
