Because I have nothing better to do

Remember that end-all kick-butt schedule I put up a while ago? Well, now I'm starting to have second thoughts. And thirds. I was thinking about what classes I'd actually NEED to get into a good grad school for mechanical (cuz thats what I want to do, I think) but I also want to incorporate all the other stuff that keeps me interested. So I made a slight modification to the previous plan, now known as Plan 7, to make it a litle more Mitchy and a little less UofA. The basic differences between 7 and 7b:

1) I put in enough Physics classes in there to get a minor (242, 321, and 445 labs)
2) I dropped one AME class (prolly 352)
3) Who really gives a darn about whether you graduate with honors?

And then there's the ultra modification of Plan 7, which is so varied that I'm calling it Plan 8. It would bring the major requirements down to the bare minimum, but allow me to.. dare I say it?... SEXTUPLE minor! And you thought I was carried away with 5. yep. 6 minors. here's a rundown:

use as tech electives AME 324a, AMe 301, AME 302, SIE 250, AME 321. These, along with the Engineering Math standard curriculum, will give me three minors in Mech, Aero, and Systems Engineering. So I need only 63 units to achieve the EMA degree. Add 6 units for the standard math degree, 6 units for Spanish, 9 for Physics, and 12 for Econ, and that adds up to 96 units, which, carried over the 6 remaining semesters, is an average of 16 units! It's diabolical! I need to get out of the house more often.

And of course there's always the old standard of double majoring in regular math and mech Eng, with room for, at most, one extra minor. Poo.
