Back 2 Skool

[Caraliz]

I can't wait to go back! We just have to decide where the hell we're going to stay for the next couple of years so we don't move around all the bloody time. xD

I was thinking about taking English and Mathematics courses. English for fun, math for a potential major. I was considering maybe accounting or bookkeeping. Or maybe computer classes, like graphic design or ... who knows! There are so many possibilities.

[XxSephirothxX]

I started on Thursday. This semester is a bit lighter than last, when I took:

• Film as Literature (3)
• Introduction to Folklore (3)
• The 20th Century American Novel (3)
• Writing for the Web (3)
• Intro to New Media (3)

I was busybusybusy. This semester I'm only at 12 hours with:

• Editing and Design (4)
• New Media Productions (3)
• Literary Topics: Cormac McCarthy and Larry Brown (3)
• New Media Digital Brown Bag Seminar (1)
• Physical Fitness (1)

It's a lighter load, but it's also a little funky since I have a lab and a once-a-week seminar. Instead of having identical MWF/TR schedules, I have an extra class on Tuesdays and an extra class Fridays.

Rye, you should take your Freshman and Sophomore years as an opportunity to skip and/or sleep through classes that don't have attendance policies. You can't skip the important stuff later on!

Oh, I wish, Azar. Every single class I took in my first semester was a class where quiz is either given nearly everyday, or there was a very strict attendance policy. The only one I could skip was Psychology, but I really actually enjoyed it. xD

My subjects don't change; Sociology, Media Studies, Photography and English Literature.

We're doing education this term in Sociology though, documentaries in media, fashion portaiture in photography and poetry (Robert Browning) and 'a view from the bridge' this term in English.

My favorite thing about going to a 35,000+ person university is that the large lecture classes don't usually have strict attendance policies, or only rarely check attendance. Every semester up to this year I had at least one skip class!

Freshman Year

• American Government - attended first half of semester
• Physical Science - Went to 2 classes.

Sophomore Year

• Computer Science - First day of lecture; three tests.
• Physical Geography - Quiz days; test days.

Man, I miss it.

I went back last monday, and my classes are:
Urbanization (Urban Geography)
Environmental Issues
Statistical Analysis
Gemstones

Yeah, I think skipping a good amount of class at university is the norm... Most people I know skip at least a few now and then. I usually don't go if I have to wake up too early.

Writing for the Web (3)

"how to blog"?

as for skipping classes, they like to give you unannounced quizzes that you can't make up. Or you absolutely need to get every bit of information. ;_;

My school has break, then two weeks of the first semester, then exams, then a day off (just fell there by coincidence) and then the second semester. It's weird D:

[Rye]

My time table is so much better now that I'm not taking Italian. xD

[Gwawr]

I was back to school in a teaching capacity on the 6th, and many of my students were back then. In other schools (namely the private ones), they were back one week later.

My timetable isn't too bad this year. I have about 25hrs harp and a couple of hours piano, then one on cello. Doable.

[Madame Adequate]

I could be mistaken... but I think I was just raped.

There's your lesson for you. Be careful with what I do and don't bother to regard in my posts. If I ignored it, I spared you.

Oh , tavrobel's a serious badass guys, watch out! :Eek:

Precisely!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a giant teddy bear to go hug and a girl that is waiting to reject me three times in the span of five minutes. I'm going for a new record.

[Momiji]

I went back on the 12th. I'm taking:

Child Psychology 235
Abnormal Psychology 350
Intro to Fields in Psychology 100 (wouldn't be taking this unless it was required. )
Geology (god I can't wait to get my laptop back for this class, it's so dull)
English Composition 131 (Piece of cake.)

Child Psychology and Abnormal Psychology are the highlights of this semester. I'm excited for those. Psy 100 and Geology can go die in a fire.

I started this Monday. Today I have off. Yesterday a location manager came and talked with us. He revealed an interesting tidbit that virtually every New York City film student can close down streets during filming, though you've gotta fill out paper work. But who cares? It's free. It's something that in L.A., you can't do without paying a ton of money.

Yeah, it was a fun class and we did some cool projects, but I don't think I learned anything about writing.

Your curriculum is obviously a little more challenging than the average college student's, too. Hardcore engineering courses aren't the types you can really skip out on.
