Our teacher, Mister Civitarese, is like, the BOMB!. he's like on drugs or something!

Mr. Civ: Pen, Pencil... Crayon... Marker, use whatever you want!

Mr. Civ: N-n-n-n-n-now do me a flavor (he erally says flavor, he is so funny, and his studdering is so awesome)

Mr. Civ: 2.2 pounds, thats a kilogram of heroine you got right there

Mr. Civ: now i would say they're just like Chinese fireworks, but that's polotically incorrect. SO i'll say.... Italian fireworks

My classes aren't long and boring so much as they're very demanding in the reading department. @_@

American Constitutional Law: Constitutional Interpretation
Western Political Theory: Enlightenment +
Reformation Europe
Chinese Civilization
Historical Methods and Research (EVIL class that history majors must take and pass in order to get history degree)

Next semester I'm going to add more Poli Sci courses (ACL: Civil Liberties, the other Theory course, and teh Poli Sci Methods course). I like the sound of the World Religions class, spirit. We're supposed to have a class called Comparative Religions here, but I can't find it anywhere in the course selection catalogs that come out every semester. :( -sigh-

What field of work are you looking at that requires you to have a history degree?

Really? I found Abnormal Psych really interesting. Here's what you can do to make it fun... every time you learn about a new pathology, psychoanalyze your friends to figure out if they're a potential case study. :evil:

One thing my prof said in Abnormal Psych: "One in every 4 people has a mental disorder. Look around at 3 of your friends. If they're normal -- it's YOU." :lol:

Anyway... I already have a degree and all that fun stuff, but I'm taking classes again, so I can really learn this time around. :sweat: This quarter I'm taking Advanced Sculpture and Intro to Small Business. (In my case, they ARE related.) :)

My classes are all okay.... I miss calc tho :(
mat 120 stinks horribly...the only redeeming quality is that we are reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and discussing it in class
Western Civ is cool
Intro Sociology and Basic Communication are so so
Theory of Physical Activity bothers me...something about the fact that I have to write/read more for that than my other classes that meet more than once a week is just wierd
and Hebrew 101 is the best class ever!!!!!!!!!

At my university our Communication class is Comm 1310. I just thought i was intersting how different schools have different # endings for the same classes :). Not just Communication, but all classes in general :)

I'm getting absolutely fried, but the sad thing is, I like all my classes, so I can't get myself to drop any. -_- You'd think having eight classes a day would teach me something about time management at least...

It's going to be a busy semester. I've got two classes that I'm taking for credit: Convex Optimization and Numerical Methods for Electromagnetics, both of which will involve a lot of work. I'm also a TA for the freshman linear algebra course, so I have to do most of their homework assignments as well. My own research keeps me pretty busy too.

Um...I'm getting a history degree because I like history? :P Same reason why I'm doing Political Science. I really enjoyed the courses I'd had. And I'd grown, didn't like politics or care much before. I want to go into law as a result of that, but one of my profs is suggesting I go for a PhD in poli sci. -mentioned somewhere else-

Most professional schools dislike the idea of students choosing a major because you think it'll get you in there. They want a variety in their student body. For example, many law schools frown on "pre-law majors." The "law" stuff you do in college is not the same as what you'll be doing in law school. The ACL course I'm taking now is not going to be the same there. I'm not sure how med schools feel about "pre-med majors" but I'd assume it's the same.

As long as you've 1) got the grades, 2) have taken all required courses for admission, 3) did sufficiently well on the entrance exam, and 4) are a "well rounded" and interesting enough student, you're as likely to get in to med school as if you'd been a chem major instead of a music one. So major in whatever you want.

School's pretty good for me. I love my new school. ^_^

I don't have very much... block scheduling and all. Only 9th grade English, IPS (Investigative Physical Science, its like beginning physics and chemistry), World History 1, and speech (we were required ><)

There's this guy I've heard likes anime and Jrock, but he's a junior... and I'm a freshman... but I think I know a person who can introduce us. Hopefully he's nice and not one of those I-am-the-almighty-upperclassman-!-All-freshman-are-lower-than-me-so-stay-away people. Luckily since I go to a smaller Christian school there's fewer of those types of people.... kinda >.>

I'm really happy though because I got a good grade in IPS on a test that everyone is supposed to fail. :lol:

My classes are the same way. Long, slightly boring, and demanding = not so fun.

All 5 of my classes require extensive reading; it's near impossible to get it all done (well maybe it would be possible if I didn't have a life). I mean I've never been all that enthused about school and classes anyway but this semester has got to be the most dull :shady:. The only class that I really like is my Beginning Graphic Design class which, according to my professor, I'm doing very good in :grin: My other classes are:

Shakespeare
Spanish II
World Music
Social Psychology

Not as exciting as I had previously thought :shady: Well, what can we do: "school is a necessary evil."

BUT! God has really worked a lot of things out for me this week in and out of class so I'm grateful for that much :grin:

You can leave the algebra at home, Spanish whilst useful can be a bore I admit, and Human anatomy, yeah I remember my A-Level biology - however - World Religions and Marine Biology?!

Come on! Those two alone would make my week. Invest yourself in them, they'll pay back dividends!

I wonder if fish have religion?

Oh, almost forgot - my classes - well, erm, I don't have any! Graduated 3 and a bit years ago! :p

I do lead a Weds night discipleship group though. I wonder my group thinks that that is like class?

:)

I loved Algebra I last year... not so sure how I'll like Geometry next semester, but since I like math I think I'll be okay.

I am taking the following this semester:

ECE 6607: Computer Communication Networks
ECE 6100: Advanced Computer Architecture
ECE 6110: CAD for Computer Communication Networks
CS 4235: Introduction to Information Security

Some of these classes is not what I expected, and I have concluded that taking these courses together in one semester was imprudent, considering how frustrated and tired I have become.
