Specialisation

Today we received info on choosing specialisation courses for the autumn. And it's induced a feeling of angst in me. I really don't feel completely comfortable with my possible choices. I've managed to create a quite restricted frame for my choices due to the fact that next semester's courses are the only ones I am to do at the faculty of law and that I can only do those offered this autumn. Some cousres of interest are given at the same time - so I can't follow them both. And to add to complication the two courses I choose must be thematically connected to my dissertation. Which I do not know what it will be about. If I choose from within a profile there will be no trouble, but If I wish to mix and match I have to be much more careful. I do feel a little bit beter after having soken to some teachers though. I have basically received a Go from a top dog on a certain combination of interest that does not adhere to the set up bounderies og the given profiles. That's something at least. What troubles me now is my chances of getting what I want. Since I haven't been following the normal study path i have had to apply for an excemtion in order to be able to apply for specialisation courses despite not having completed all prerequiste courses. This means that I will not be competing for spots on the courses on the same conditions as a "normal" student. This is ok if you don't want to study anything too popular (one of the courses I am considering in public law should be no problem - but the other in EC law might be trickier). IF I were to chose a profile I would better my chances of getting the courses I want, but my first choices don't fit a profile. And the profiles I could consider can't gie me anything but an acceptable combination. And I'm not sure I'm looking for only acceptable when it comes to this part (if any) of my education. I'll have to think about it some more and check certain things out. Still it's all giving me a bit of a tummy ache. Maybe it's a case of embaras de richesse - but it doesn't make it less hard for me.
