Taking pre-requisite classes is like going to the grocery store to buy only non-perishable foods. They're necessary in the long run, but they're also kind of unnecessary in the here and now. Who really needs THAT much tuna?
As a non-matriculating student, you're preparing for the natural disaster of education, which is to say: grad school. Much like tornadoes and earthquakes, luck favors the well-prepared. Of course, when those things actually do happen, you can't do much more than brace yourself for your roof to fly away. But preparing for the worst by stocking up with tuna and batteries makes you feel like you're at least headed in the right direction.
That's what I'm doing now. I'm buying metaphorical tuna. I hope I never need it, but I also know that I most definitely will.
