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.
Ahhh… walking across the playing field, hot Tim Horton’s coffee cup in hand, bag over my shoulder, watching the guys playing frisbee on a foggy cool autumn morning. Bliss.
This semester’s the same as the next:
Chaucer
Romantic Poetry and Prose
Poety and Prose from 1500-1600
Theory of Criticism of Literature
Creative Writing
English specialist degree, yay. is such a bookworm it’s sad
Very interesting. When I finish this law degree (and June next year can’t come quickly enough), I think my next area of study will be the classics. Or possibly Russian.
History of the People’s Republic of China
Approaches to History–a study of historiography
Biochemistry, “Molecules of Life”
Introductory Biology
Introductory Sociology

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.
Intro to Nuclear Engineering (my one and only fun course this semester)
Fundamental Electromagnetics (by which they mean Advanced Emag)
and Electric Drives
I’ve also got an assistantship in power electronics.
I’m not currently enrolled as a student, but I’m planning on taking the first actuarial exam this fall, so I’ve got some studying to do. If I had a course list, it would look like this:[ul][]Probability[]More ProbabilityEven More Probability[/ul]Should be fun.

It’s my senior year, where I look back with fondness at my liberal arts education and realize that I really should, at some point, finish my major.
