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!

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?)

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.

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!)

Date: 2003-03-11 11:03 am (UTC)Oh, and I third or fourth the advice not to add another class. :) 12-15 credits is a full load for an undergrad.
