I am studying a course about basic probability to prepare for an advanced course in probability.
This whole year at school will have me studying probability. I will have the summer off of studies unless I study two courses this winter term. In about three weeks I will have completed the conditional requirements for my admission into graduate school which is this basic course in probability. Next term I think it natural to keep the momentum and study the advanced course in probability. I will then have four courses left to study in the first phase of this graduate school. But I could try two courses this winter term. I would then be allowed to study a course this summer as well. I would then have only two courses to complete next year and could start the winter term with the second part of the graduate school which is one course and a thesis. So I could complete the one extra course next winter and begin the thesis then too.
