wolffylunaA continuation of the 'gahhhhh' series, except this time with good news!
I got to talk to an academic advisor (without any bureacratic finangling! They had a drop in session scheduled today).
Bad news: There's a reasonable chance that this semester I will go below the 70% average needed to stay on the Honours track.
Good news:... you only get kicked off the Honours track if you have two semesters below the 70% average. Which is, like, possible, but not necessarily likely. Especially considering I'm planning to do Earth Science courses this semester coming, which I'm better at and should bring my average up.
Double good news: I don't need to do anything fancy to get an Earth Science major. I just need to do three 3rd year Earth Science courses-- which is hella doable? Like, I need to take three 3rd year courses this semester anyway. But there's no bureaucratic finangling, no having to stay at uni longer, I can still graduate this year and do Honours next year.
Wahey!
(Now I've just got to pick some Earth Science classes. I'm definitely doing Planetary Science (geochemistry!) and Economic Geology (mineralogy!), but I still need to pick between Groundwater (pros: field trips, I'm sure it is a useful and marketable skill, cons: I'm sure groundwater is fascinating to a certain sort of person, but I have no clue if I'm one of them) or Paleoclimatology and Climate Change (pros: I unironically love climate proxies, cons: climate grief is a thing, and a thing that kicks my butt.)
