Atlantic Canadian History after 1870 (I took Prior to 1870 a couple years ago) Later Medieval Europe And either the Dead Sea Scrolls or Chinese and Japanese Religions–I’m currently signed up for the first, but if space opens up I’ll probably switch to the second. After last semester I’m trying to take things easy. ---

Ughh…I go back to class on Monday and I still haven’t registered for classes. I owe the library ten bucks and I’ve been a slacker about paying it back. If they only accepted my check card! I’m a college kid, when do I have cash on me? Anywho, enough whining, here’s what I need to take this semester: Differential Equations Math History Any Lit Class Any Geography class that I’ve not previously taken, probably will be either Land Management Planning or Adv GIS.

Last semester, then I get to put on my pretty black dress with goofy black hat and cool-looking hood! This semester, I’ve got: [ul] [li]Law and the Media[/li][li]Broadcast Performance[/li][li]Technical Writing II[/li]and, last but definitely not least [li]Professional Project[/li][/ul] I’m going to be very busy since the project alone is probably going to take ~20 hours or so a week to do. I’ve also got my assistantship and I’m the co-chair of the graduate student board, so I’ve got a lot on my plate. Fortunately, none of my actual classes are that difficult. 🙂 Robin ---

[QUOTE=MissMossie] I really enjoyed GIS; I hope you have fun with it too! [/QUOTE] Thanks! I’ve decided to do a minor in GIS/Cartography since many of the classes/credits I take for it will double count as directed-elective credits needed for my Geology degree. I have also talked to grad students and working geologists who say experience in GIS is a very good thing to have. ---

I finished my undergrad course work in May '06 at Univ of Kentucky, and later I promised myself that I’d enroll in graduate school if I didn’t have a job as an engineer by early January 2007. That time has come, so just today I enrolled at WVU as an industrial engineering major. Kudos to the faculty for getting me in touch with an advisor and helping me register on such short notice. Courses will be: Computer Integrated Manufacturing Advanced Production Control Engineering Economy IE Seminar course IE research Those 13 credit hours of graduate courses should kick my ass pretty hard I think. I had a job interview yesterday and will have another next week, so I plan to drop out and get partial tuition reimbursement if I get a job offer soon. ---

I’ll be taking a history seminar, Cruelty and Violence in Roman History, and a classics seminar, Greek Mythography. I’m also doing 3 credits of thesis research, and am TAing Western Heritage I. I was considering doing a summer class in GIS - on an archaeological survey in Turkey. Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, but I figured I’d throw in yet another use for GIS!
