Me, not ready...Got my books, but sooo not looking forward to another grinding semester... x(

Major: Economics

Microeconomic Theory
Macroeconomic Theory

Intro. to Sculpting

[Hugin]

1. Good luck!

Hope you have a great semester!

:D

[bicentennial_baby]

3. I hope so too, thanks.

But the thought of 4 Econ classes at once is, well, daunting. :scared:

That's what I get for being an Econ major though :P

:hi:

[Hugin]

5. "That's what I get for being an Econ major"

Last time I looked. :rofl:

:D

[bicentennial_baby]

6. I'm a masochist...obviously

I'm the last person you'd ever think would major in Economics...In personality, appearance, and politics. They need more radical females in the field, I say :D

[Hugin]

7. And I concur!

Obviously!

LOL!

[philosophie_en_rose]

2. Nope. The semester has started, but I'm still on vacation mode.

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Hehe, I hear that...

Hope yours is a good one! :hi:

[LeftyMom]

8. I have three chapters of anthropology text to read before tomorrow morning.

I don't think I'd ever be ready for that. But I'll manage somehow.

[bicentennial_baby]

9. I know that feeling...

:hug:

[ganeshji]

10. I started yesterday.

I'm just taking the usual round of tedious undergrad classes. I'm not prepared because I can't afford books until the end of the month. Oh well, I'll pull it together somehow. I am looking forward to this semester as it should actually be challenging for a change.

[bicentennial_baby]

11. What classes are you taking?

I'm so happy to be done with GenEds and such...After this semester, all I have left in that area is a Humanities course and either one more Art or Humanities course. And 5 electives for my major. 8 classes, 2 semesters, then I graduate, finally. :)

[ganeshji]

18. I went pretty random this semester.

I kind of needed to fill some holes in here and there. I'm taking Spanish 3, understanding psychology, world religion, classical literature, and some sort of multimedia art class. This is the last semester before I transfer and I can't wait.

[bicentennial_baby]

19. I know that feeling well...

last spring felt like forever, before i transferred. :pals:

But, a good mix, you won't get bored, at the very least. I like variety, which is why I'm not exactly looking forward to my schedule this semester. :)

[ganeshji]

26. Yeah, your schedule does lack variety.

Sculpting could prove to be a pretty good outlet if it gets overwhelming though. Good luck to you.

[bicentennial_baby]

27. That's what happens after the Reqs are done...

Major, major, major... x(

But thank you...Good luck to you as well! :hi:

[LaraMN]

12. Yep! I started yesterday.

Major: Communication

Minor: Professional Writing and Comm.

Classes:

Persuasion and Argumentation in Public Speaking
Document Design and Graphics
Foundations of Mass Communication (I'm T/A-ing)
Directed Project in Communication

(Two three-hour night classes, one four-hour class, and an independent study.)

I'm a lil' bit scared- kids factored into the logistics and all...
:7

[bicentennial_baby]

13. oooh, I *hate* long classes....

I'm still not fully recovered from last spring's 4 hour PreCalc class... :scared:

My longest this semester will be sculpting, 2hr 20min. :)

Good luck sweetie! :hug:

[Coventina]

14. Still.Writing.Thesis. Killing.me......

:argh:

But I am going to finish and graduate this semester or die trying!!!!!

Besides that, I'm teaching Art History 101 & 102.

:hi:

Good luck to all!!!!

[bicentennial_baby]

15. Awwwww....I know you can do it

:)

:hug:

:hi:

[ChoralScholar]

16. I'm still working on a Master's Degree

My class starts next Monday. I'm taking 19th/20th Century Choral Literature.

[bicentennial_baby]

Introduction to Sociology

This semester is all about getting some of these intro-level Pre-Reqs out of the way. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

23. Been there, done that...So glad it's over

Good luck to her! 2 Philosophy classes! :o

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Sweet schedule...and Apocalypse!!!

:wow: Soooo lucky, you are!

Econ is cool, at least when i do it :D

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

24. I've done a few economics courses...

And sociology and philosophy courses about the market and such...but I hate it all so much, haha.

The Apocalypse class is so rad. We even get to watch Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" to get one perspective of how the apocalypse is perceived. I love that film. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

25. That is bad ass

Most people hate Econ...it's ok. It's not called the 'dismal science' for nothing, you know :D
