ENG 142   Title: Shakespeare
BOT 113   Title: Plant Classifications
ANT 135   Title: Cultural Ecology


The Shakespeare course is early afternoon M-F and the other two are evening and cover M-T between them. This is practically ideal in my opinion, since I can get quality library time between classes that way and keep latish hours. And Friday I have almost the whole afternoon free. Not bad for avoiding English and math requirements until my transcript comes and working with what they had open.

I might have pushed for another class, but it turns out they'll let me re-take the admissions test in 90 days; if I study calc a little in my free time I can save the money on the stupid precalc class and ace the test next time. There are other things I can test out of, but I'm going to need to consider whether I can throw money at it and be very certain, because the "challenge test" ones charge you the full price of the course and are pass/fail. I'm pretty sure I can manage them, but I'm a little worried. Must do more research.

I'll be checking out North Seattle CC this quarter, too. Maybe they have requirements that are less stupid. (Even if not, they are walking distance from newhouse, which is a big recommendation.) I have definitely embarked, though. So happy!

school supplies big yay! :)

Plant classification was one of my favorite classes. It's been ages since I've done it but I'm feeling like pulling out my "Flora of the Pacific Northwest" and trying to key some of the plants in the yard.

Sounds like a great bunch of classes!

I went back to college after a few years away, and my advice is not to load up too much your first semester. I found it kind of hard to get back into the scholastic swing of things. It messed with my mind for a few terms. Sounds to me like you've got a good situation there with those three classes.

(Speaking of plants, we might have a houseplant for you. Do you want any houseplants?)

Three classes is considered full-time, so I think it probably is enough. It doesn't sound like it, but I'll give it a try.

Oooh, houseplant. I think houseplant timing might be an issue, but I bet I'd be happy to take it. Newhouse is huge, plenty of room for plants.

I'm dating somebody who has returned to undergraduate education to finish a degree started in the 1980's. Trust me, three classes is enough. There will be times when you wish you had one fewer.

They all sound marvellous, though. I wonder what modern Shakespeare scholarship is like. Mostly I ignore it. Have fun!

but betsyyyyyyy

we wants the biologyyyyyyy

and chemistry and physics and math, oh my!

How about this: I will get the required social sciences out of the way and then I will take some for fun, okay? I definitely want to do linguistics, it's just that I was bitten by a sociology professor at a young age.

sociology is the theory that you can learn something useful about people by taking surveys.

foo on that!

interviewing them is the way to go. ;)

linguistics is neat. maybe there will be some linguistics about plants course that you could take. (okay, probably not. but i can dream!)

BOT 113 seems to be a love it or hate it class, but in any case it sounds like a good one to have for understanding plant families. Keep us posted on how it goes! ENG 142 is also fun; who's teaching it?

Oh, and I third or fourth the advice not to add another class. :) 12-15 credits is a full load for an undergrad.

I thnk I'm going to really like BOT 113.

ENG 142 will be taught by one Croon. Do you know about this person? There doesn't seem to be a web page listed.

Don't know Croon. I think I had Dunlop when I took that class. It was great! Really fun to delve into the characters and talk about possible staging.
