Class wankery

So I'm following in Chris' footsteps and doing early class wankery.
I definetly want to take next semester:
15-451: Algorithm Design and Analysis
15-462: Computer Graphics

I'm also looking at one of
15-397: Web Applications (if offered)
15-441: Computer Networks
15-415: Database Applications

That right there is already a heavy schedule (I believe that's 36 units... of pure CS insanity), so I'll add some "fun" courses... maybe two of:
79-238: Film and the Production of History
79-306: East Asians in Film
62-xxx: Digital Photography
62-241: Black and White Photography II
62-337: Studio Lighting
62-381: Color Photography I

That's a fairly heavy schedule... especially if I decide to apply for and get a 15212 TA position.

Then, I can do 21-355: Principles of Real Analysis I plus another math course (21-320: Symbolic Programming Methods... 21-350: History of Mathematics... 21-369: Numetical Methods) in the Spring, which would put me one class away from a math minor. I would also do another from webapps/databases/networks. If I did another photo/graphics class as well, that would complete my photo/digital imaging minor.
So Spring looks something like:
21-355: Principles of Real Analysis
21-3xx: Random math class
15-xxx: Webapps/databases/networks
15-xxx: Random cs graphics course
62-xxx: Photo class

So I'm not exactly sure yet (I havn't taken any courses in either area), but I'm fairly sure I want to either do graphics or web applications as a career... that's why Keith suggested databases in the first place.

So um, yeah. Does anyone have any recommendations about those classes, or about other classes I should take? And don't just tell me, "Take OS!" :-P

So I shouldn't tell you to take OS?

For the love of God, do not take OS.
