Im sick I have a massive headache, no appetite, cough, and feel sick to my stomach and I think I have a slight fever now... ick

I was going to go to class but i dont think thats a good idea =/

[Commentator]

I'm sick too.. and it figures, since I'm seeing my boyfriend this weekend

[Afrashad]

I get to register for Spring classes in a week! If all goes according to plan (it never does), I'm going to have a pretty sweet schedule.

History of Ireland
Senior Seminar: Collapse of Communism
Geography of Florida
Islamic Culture
Islam in Modern World

[Commentator]

Sounds like a neat schedule! I don't get to pick my classes for a while, but I'm already looking forward to taking totally random stuff. There's a forensic geology course that looks awesome. Hooray for not having a core curriculum!

[Thesaurus]

I am working on the same thing. :tongue: And it's not so exciting.

[Afrashad]

I'm really hoping to get into the History of Ireland class. It's the first time it's been offered in two years, and I love Ireland. At least I get to register on the second day, so there's still a chance of getting a spot.

Your schedule? I always hated having my window on one of the last days because everything worth taking was gone by then. I really wanted to take this WWII class that everyone says is amazing, but they're not offering it next semester. Just my luck. :tongue:

[Thesaurus]

Right now it looks like:
General Physical Science Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday 8:00-8:50
Traditional Grammar and Usage Monday/Wednesday/Friday 10:00-10:50
Personal Health Monday/Wednesday/Friday 1:00-1:50
Geology (Honors) Monday/Wednesday 2:00-3:15
Creative Writing Tuesday/Thursday 2:00-3:15

Everything I need is on Monday-Wednesday-Friday...I need something else on Tuesday/Thursday. I will go pick something I don't need, but want.

[Commentator]

Right now, I have all four courses Monday-Wednesday-Friday with Work Study and labs on Tuesday and Thursday. It's insane, I'm never going to do two heavy lab sciences + another science again if I can help it. Bad, bad idea

[Afrashad]

If I get what I want, then I won't have a class on Friday and only one on Thursday.


Carly has her quiz tonight, so we need to put as many pages possible up. We can't have her going back and cheating.

In the state of Florida, we have these classes known as Gordan Rule classes where you have to write at least 3,600 words. Normally, professors use papers as a way to achieve the 3,600 words, and you have to get a C or higher on the assignment. My first semester I took four of these Gordan Rule classes. I had papers due on top of papers, and I swear I spent the entire semester writing. It wasn't very fun. :undecided:

[Thesaurus]

Ah--I will take Linguistics on Tuesday/Thursday. That goes towards my degree.

[Afrashad]

What's your degree in? I imagine you've mentioned it before, but I don't remember.

[/quote]That sounds horrifying.. we're required to take three "writing intensive" courses by the end of sophomore year, but there's no way I'm going to double up on them. Right now I'm taking the Study of Poetry (it's a 200, another bad decision) as one, and I hope to take Classical Mythology as my second one next semester.. I do want to minor in english, but I really hate the idea of having several essay-heavy classes at once. I'm terrible at balancing my time when it comes to essays. :lipsrsealed:

So you're going to be an English teacher?


I'm getting a Bachelor of Arts in History with a Geography minor.

Oh yeah, it was horrifying. I'd have a paper due in a class one day and another due in a different class the next. That normally meant I was writing two papers at the same time and hoping I didn't get the two mixed up.

[Thesaurus]

Yep. I'd rather just get a Bachelor of Arts in English, but all the other people I know with that degree can't find work at all, so I'm throwing Ed. in there so I can be a teacher if I can't find anything else.
Of course, all I need to do is write a bestseller and I'm set. :tongue:

[Afrashad]

I have no idea what I'm going to do with my degree. :tongue:
