Huh. Well, that explains why my official schedule is so different from what I wrote down. It turns out that when I was signing up for courses, I accidentally typed in the wrong course number, putting me in Intro to Poli Sci as opposed to Intro to American Politics. Oh well, both sound nifty, and Intro to Poli Sci fits in my schedule much better, so three cheers! And I'm still going to try to get into the Public Opinion and American Democracy course anyway, so it might not even matter.
