Doxory?

photon has decided 8.982 (Schechter's instrumentation seminar). I feel like I'm in over my head, I don't have any of the pre-reqs, the math is beyond me (though once I get things figured out--usually a week after the problem set is due---they make sense), and I'm taking two other classes.

Dropped. Now I have more time to focus on research.
