I just finished my second day of classes for this quarter. So far, things are going pretty good. I was thinking about how many Dopers who are in college right now and wondered what classes they are going to take this quarter (or semester, as the case may be)… Me, I’m in 5 classes. Sociology of Occupations Social Theory Topics in Sociology:Serial Murders Civilization and Literature III - Eastern Society Survey of American Literature II So, whatcha takin? Brendon ---

I’ve some how talked my way out of engineering classes. This will probably be my last semester at Tech, because this semester I’m taking all the fun classes I could find. Those include: Intro to Film History of Jazz Photography Chemistry It’s only 13 hours, but I’m also going to work 12 hours a week. ---

This is my last semester. Hooray! I’ve finished all of the compulsory subjects for the law degree. I just have to do two more elective subjects.

This last semester was by far the worst I’ve ever had at any academic level. I’m pretty sure this was the first time I’ve ever failed a class. I’m going to have to take everything again: a lower-division English class, a general ed (but a different one this time), Calc II and Chemistry. I was hoping I could knock out some of my Physics requirements and maybe try Linguistics on for size this semester, but it wasn’t meant to be. ---

And I forgot to include the list, d’oh–I hit the wrong button, ‘submit’ instead of ‘go advanced.’ Coming up this semester: [ul] [li]Criminal Law[/li][li]Property[/li][li]Constitutional Law II[/li][li]Civil Procedure II[/li][li]Lawyering II: Advocacy[/li][/ul] ---

Second semester of my sophomore year, and with all my major changes I’m still clawing my way out of the basics. Managerial Accounting Finite Math Intro to Computers and Managment Information Systems Intro to Biological Science US Government **Fetus** , looks like you and I had a semester from hell last fall. I didn’t fail any classes, but I know one of my professors adjusted my grade so that I wouldn’t. Im just waiting for the probation letter to arrive from the business college. Im just hoping that this semester works out better, even though I know I need to retake Business Calculus again. ---

Beginning in 2 weeks ( I wish I could take more, but I’m also working full-time): Intro to Enology - I’m excited about this one since my husband will be taking it with me. Viticulture:Spring Practices - Kind of excited about this one, although not really looking forward to being out in the vineyards at 7 AM during our ‘winter.’ Wine Service and Hospitality - Should be easy enough, it’s the last half of the semester. ---

[QUOTE=fetus] Two weeks? I’m on a semester system, and my classes don’t start again until mid-February. [/QUOTE] When did your fall semester end? My last class was on December 4th (though my final paper wasn’t due until the 17th). A mid-February start would be a 2-month break … too long!
