I think I have my schedule for next semester figured out. I'll be taking these classes:
1. Philosophy of Law, with Andrei Marmor and Scott Soames
2. Modern Philosophy, with Jim Van Cleve
3. Ancient Philosophy, with Frank Lewis
and sitting in on
4. Metaethics, with Steve Finlay
and TAing for
5. Time and Time Travel, with Jim Van Cleve
My classes should be cool; phil. law will likely be on legal interpretation, and JVC mentioned that the modern seminar will actually be lots of contemporary stuff on perception, with some modern thrown in (e.g. Reid). The ancient class is actually an upper-level undergrad course, but which will fulfill my ancient requirement. Actually, if I take those three classes, I will finish all of my requirements next semester, and that will be nice. Steve's metaethics course is supposed to be on the book he's writing. I'm pretty excited to TA for the time travel course; I'm not sure exactly what it will involve, but it should be cool, and hopefully the undergrads will be interested. Phil. time was one of my favorite topics when I was an undergrad (and still is, to some extent).

Sounds great. TAing for "Philosophy and Science Fiction" (the centerpiece of the course was a series of time travel stories and Lewis' Paradoxes paper) was a lot of fun. And the undergrads really seemed to get into it, compared to their other philo coursework.
Awesome. I'm hoping the same will be true of the undergrads here.
