Happy Birthday to Me

Today is my birthday. Unfortunately, I'm spending most of it studying. I'm trying to get ahead in my course load, which is pretty ridiculous this semester. It consists of:

Real Analysis I
Abstract Algebra I
Complex Variables
Thermodynamics
Classical Mechanics

Plus some "problems in math" course, which is just a one-hour seminar thing where we talk about current math research. The course I'm most worried about is classical mechanics. My friend Micki only missed an A in a math or physics course (she was a double major) her entire college career, and it was in this class. Thermodyamics may also turn out to be a logistical pain, because I'm taking it on a remote basis (it's actually an NC State course, taught from Raleigh by video link). Abstract Algebra I'm taking on an independent study basis, because of a time conflict with classical mechanics.

At the same time, I have to apply to graduate school, and all the things that go with it, including taking the general and subject (mathematics) GRE's. The general won't be a problem, but I need to study big-time for the math subject test.
