Easing back into the groove with (required) Classics 20: Discovering the Romans (prediction: easy A!) History 116A: Byzantine History History 157A: Early Latin America Four more weeks before quittin’ time, then another til school. I can hardly wait. Next quarter I’ll actually have more Classics courses than History. 😛 ---

Due to various difficulties, I wasn’t able to attend school this semester, but I’m already planning for spring. I only lack College Algebra, one science w/lab, a physical health course, one more history class, and about 3 electives getting my Associates. Right now I’m pondering over my class choices – I like to mix it up, include fun classes with required classes to brighten up my semester. Some of the classes I’m considering are: French II Drawing I World Geography First Aid Class Voice I World Religions Dendrology w/Lab Dance Appreciation Beginning Ballet Intermediate Algebra I need to go ahead and finish up my language credit, so there’s French II. I was certified in First Aid in my ARC/Americorps days but that’s long since lapsed. I need College Algebra but there’s no way my math skills are up to it (I’ve had to drop Int. Algebra twice as it is). The science w/lab is going to be the other hard one, right now I’m thinking Dendrology but who knows, really. ---

I’m back in school after being out in “the real world” for two years (note to current students: the real world sucks ass. Stay in school forever.) I have on tap: Biomechanics I Cardiovascular Physiology Biostatistics I was originially enrolled in a different physiology course, but the instructor (who instructs the original one and is the coordinator for the current one) said that the old one would be nothing but old review of stuff I already learned from my bachelor’s, and that the current one is more “up my alley,” being an engineer and all. It’s not all cardiac stuff, lots of things about the nervous system, diffusion, muscles, and other things. I had my first lecture today, and holy Hell I think I would have preferred the class that would just be review. I semester of biophysics and/or biochemistry would have helped a lot. ---
