108: Property
109: Constitutional Law
110: Contracts
112: Legal Skills II
I have to get up a little earlier this semester, but I don't have classes until 5 most of the week, either.
Linear Algebra with Differential Equations
Fractal Geometry and Chaos Theory
Wave and Modern Physics
Introduction to Grammatical Systems
cba to look up times but I know my Mondays and Wednesdays are smurfed.
My schedule isn't set in stone yet since I'm changing like 3 of my courses. Here's what I know I'm going to be taking:
Production II
Pro Tools II: Sound Design
Intro to Avid
And probably like a mixture of After Effects, Ethics, Recording Foley, Science and Religion or Creative/Line Producing.
If I get my History and Science credits out the way, I'll only have to take a philosophy class next year along with my required studio credits, so I'll room to put like four fun classes for senior year. <3
MWF
Psychology
Calculus
C++ - part two of a beginner's course
TH
Calculus Lab
Discrete Math
Jogging with an Emphasis on Walking (not true, I hear)
College Writing IIHAHAHA WHOOPS FAILED COLLEGE WRITING I
what are you studying to be, jessweeebit? btw discrete is awesome
http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/5483/schedu.png
PSY100H1 - Intro Psychology
SOC101Y1 - Intro Sociology
UNI256H1 - Sociology of Sexualities: Social, Organizational, and Legal Contexts
WGS160Y1 - Intro to Women and Gender Studies
MAT135Y1 - Calculus I
I miss having Mondays off. :(
edit: @Jesswee - Jogging with an Emphasis on Walking? That has to be the most interesting course title I've ever seen (maybe after "Masculinity in the Age of Terror").
Senior year of college I got an email from the poli sci department about a new course titled "How to Take Over the World." If it hadn't conflicted with anything, I would have seriously considered taking it.Quote:

Speech
Algebra I
English I
Physical Education
Pretty good schedule between 4 class limit in England and all. Not my awesome 2 day a week thing, 4-day weekends, but meh.

I kind of wish the university would let me take more classes applicable to my actual major instead of putting a bull:bou::bou::bou::bou: limit on English classes (2 in total, wtf? Could have told me that BEFORE I signed up and applied for all English classes! And a small loop-hole due to Italian Lit being technically a European class, but very likely counted as English) and not bothering to tell me until after I had already completed the enrolling process. I'm not going to need a third Philosophy class, and I'm not sure if that history class will actually count for my credits. Ugh. So much summer school, if I even DO graduate on time now, which I'm not even sure of anymore. Which is always fun, when you've gone through the effort of High School credits and taking university tests for extra credits so you can be AHEAD of schedule. *dies*
Might change - trying to switch my philosophy class to European Cinema (same as Italian Lit - counts as European credit, technically can be counted under an English major's cinema credit, most likely)
Block 3:
Advanced Thermodynamics
Advanced Electromagnetics
Organic Chemistry A
Bio-statistics 2
Block 4:
Organic Chemistry B
Advanced Heat Transfer
Image Forming Techniques for medical applications
Flow and Diffusion
Image Analysis
Advanced Optics
Some subjects to keep me busy until I head to the states.
Monday/Wednesday:
Early Civilizations: 1:35 - 2:50
General Psychology: 3:00 - 4:15
Tuesday/Thursday:
Intro to PC Applications: 1:35 - 2:50
English Composition II: 3:00 - 4:15
My classes this semester are all pretty much super boring and tedious but they'll basically finish up the rest of my boring requirements so that I can open up this summer/fall semester with awesome classes that I actually want to take. The PC Applications is going to be the worst because apparently it teaches me how to turn on my computer and use word. Derp derp. At least I don't have to get up before noon again.
Computer Science major/Mathematics minorQuote:

I have to take two physical education courses, so I just looked through the catalog and took the easiest looking one! From what I've heard, the title could possibly be a trap to lure the lazier students and make them work twice as hard :(Quote:

If it makes you feel any better, I have 74 hours of work to do in the next 7 days. :bigsmile:
...You are forgiven.
This university is un-smurfing-believable sometimes. I've never been to such an unorganized university.
I ask them for classes I could take in the place of English that still technically count as literature because of their stupid limit. They tell me to take Italian Literature, and assured me it would be taught in English.
I was emailing the professor early now that I found out who is teaching the course. She emails me back saying that she expects her students to be able to read in fluent Italian..................
Maybe if I bang my head enough on my desk, I'll be teleported back in the US and not in Reading, where study abroad offices seem to consist of people who are completely incapable of doing their only job, which consists of making sure foreign students that come to this university aren't dicked over. Ughhhh
How can you expect a course in Italian literature to cover something other than Italian books. >_>Quote:

This is assuming I get my offer and assuming I'm quick enough to select these classes.
Italian literature translated? I've taken courses where I've had to read books in English that were originally in another language such as French, or Russian.Quote:

Half of my last course was books translated from Greek into English. xD
I can understand Greek, due to the complexity of the language, not to mention the educational value. But the fact remains that there are a lot of losses in translation. A translated version of Shakespeare would just not be the same, all nuances lost, not to mention that there are just some words and meanings that can't be translated. There is a reason I only read English books, I just can't stand to see all the (mis)translated sentences. You may not realize these things, because well.. You're used to reading books in the language they were written in.Quote:

Reading a translated book for entertainment purposes I can understand, but it seems unlikely to be taught at an university. The teacher wouldn't be able to say: "What did the writer mean with this?", but "What did the translator thought this meant?" :p

Btw, you're going to love Heat transfer. Non-dimensional differential energy equations, thermal boundary layers, and much more. I always loved that course. ^__^
I"m pretty sure some unwitting Industrial fool has taken it as an elective!
Minor adjustment, but I got pretty much what I was after.

Oh Jiro, insanely jealous am I.
Just finished my first set of revision notes after 6 hours. My face hurts. :(
I miss being in university. :(
I'm torn on jealousy here. 5 days off = awesome; 8:00-21:00 = what the hell.Quote:

four hour blocks T_T I have a three and a half hour block right now and it's mind-numbing!
6 classes, plus I have to work part time. Gonna be fun.
CSCE 3613 - Operating Systems
CSCE 3513 - Software Engineering
CSCE 4813 - Computer Graphics
ENGL 2003 - Advanced Composition
MATH 3103 - Combinatorics
PLSC 2003 - American National Government
Aero E can, too, but that's mostly because they really, really, really want to be Mech Es. Fire Es like myself would have to wind up taking it if we wanted to be anything resembling useful in a design context; otherwise, we would just play with codes all day. iirc rubah, aren't you a Mech E only because your university doesn't offer Aero for undergrad?Quote:

ENFP255: Alarms and Hazards (FPE)
ENFP350: Professional Development (FPE)
ENME232: Thermodynamics (the not-so Chemistry version)
7 classes, 18 credits, and a job. And people wonder why I'm mean to people. Believe it or not, this is the easy semester.
>>> Wow, and I thought my life was a nightmare..:luca:
They're only three hour blocks. And one block is all lectures, so I can skip out early/show up late if I'm really struggling.Quote:

I wish I had a schedule like Stu's or Tav's! I hate being bored all the time ;_; one of you switch lives with me.
This is only the second semester as an engineer for me. I'm aware of the future that is in store for me: I've been told that in my first day of Junior year, I'll walk into class and instantly be three weeks behind on my homework. I would've done better this semester, but I still hadn't had it pounded into my brain that Sophomore year is when the :bou::bou::bou::bou: really kicks into high gear, and it should already have clicked when there were two Junior Year classes, Dynamics and Diff EQ. Man, did Freshman year hurt me. I should have taken that extra CORE last Spring when I had the chance, to put my semester back up to 16 credits, and not 13 like I wound up taking. Maybe I would have been more prepared.Quote:

No, you don't.Quote:

So, basically I'm potentially worrying about operating systems and graphics, but eh. I'll deal.
And work isn't really bad for me, it's just more of a nuisance to try and fit it in with the rest of my schedule. So all your sympathy should rightfully be going to Tavrobel. I'm not even a real engineer :]
I mean about the aero/mech e thing, not about AK having a OMGHARDer life or whatev
So now hostility aimed at me? :eyebrow: Why, because I thought Tav was grumbling over nothing?Quote:

I don't think that she was being hostile at you, since I was responding to your remark about only MEs taking Machine Dynamics. I wasn't trying to be hostile toward you, either, just pointing out the similarities between engineering fields, and I wasn't trying to direct my grumbling at you. We engineers should be aware that our lives suck epically, and that everyone else should be aware and need to stop complaining about their lives.Quote:

So far my schedule is like this:
Monday - No class
Tuesday - Production II
Wednesday - Science and Religion
Thursday - Intro to Avid
Thursday Part Deux - Totalitarianism
Friday - Pro Tools II
Friday Twice - Ethics
It's going to change once I sort it out for good, but most of the classes are set in stone now. The only class that seems like it's gonna be a bit of a bish is Avid thus far.
EDIT: Also, BlowingStuffUp320 sounds amazing!
There's also a SettingStuffOnFire405.
That's so hot.Quote:

Anything to keep him from lecturing on vibrations, though. I don't fall asleep listening to intra-staff politix ;D
I feel you, Tavrobel. My major's course hours are reeeeeeeally up there too, plus I have to spend my last year student teaching. If my college I'm transferring too is anything like my prior one, I'll be spending a lot of time in my junior year out on the field as well. That'll be fun when I'm working (they actually don't technically "let" you work in your last year because of student teaching, but I'll see about that.)
I can't wait to squish all of those course hours into 2 years. The summer courses will be endless.
UMD's Aero program has been trying to get their credits down to 120 from 128 for a long time, and they still haven't done it. Of course, this is the same university that thinks that their courseload can be reasonably done by most people in four years, as opposed to five.Quote:

No venn diagrams? no handshake principle? ;.;;;; what a wretched existence!
Part of my Discrete love may stem from having one of my absolute favorite teachers for it. She was better than coffee or vault.
The more I learn about engineers, the more I learn that SMBC is totally right.
