Hi there! I can help. But first what are you hoping to do degree/major/minor/unit wise?

Trust me, we've all been there and the PPF is the worst.

im thinking major in politics and international relations, minor in japanese studies (and maybe a major in something else but from what i hear doing another major is a "death sentence" somehow (please elaborate if possible)

Okay. So the schedule of majors for Pol + Intl R is here: Politics and International Relations - 2014 Course Handbook - Macquarie University. for the entire year you only need to do a measly 2 units of POL (or a Modern History unit). As there are only 3 100 level units available for 2014 I would do all of them. I'm not overly familiar with JPS but I've included the basic 100 level units that I would do (there are more out there). Sadly, unless you want to destroy your sanity for the year, you can't fit a major + major + minor. Maybe, if you're keen on JPS you could make that your (second) major? I'm doing a second history major and while it's a lot of work, I wouldn't have it any other way. It fills up free elective spots and replaces them with something you're actually into and it makes you more employable. If I were you I think it owuld be smart to do POL and specialize in JPS - it all just fits. Anyways, this is what I would put down for my first year of study on the PPF, but I will stress that I'm not an official academic adviser... Anyways, hope this helps and give me a shout if you need more help.
