I am so practicing avoidance so I don't read my chapter for class tonight...then again I did read it a couple weeks ago so it's not like I'm completely skating on it.

At any rate, here's my schedule for the fall:

18 hours split between English/Language Arts classes and education classes:

Milton (this should be fun!)
Contemporary American Poetry
Grammar & Usage for English teachers (Joy! Diagramming!)
Intro to Mass Communications (blech - silly requirement)
Teaching and Technology
Psychological foundations of Education

I have 16 credit hours this fall:

Chem 123, the continuation of the series I'm in now.

Honors Biology 115, the start of my first Biology series.

Honors psychology 100, as a Social Science and Diversity Experience class(I'm glad that's one we can overlap into two categories)

Aaaand EDU PAES 154.01, Fencing. Because everyone needs a way to relax, and what better way to do it than learning how to beat someone with a stick?

I think it's going to be a good quarter.

While a college grad, I still find myself taking classes at the community college to enhance my career potential. Probably because I majored in history the first time around. So-

-Cisco Networking Associates Course, Semester 2 (It's a 4-semester program to work in data systems)

-Chinese 1 (to hopefully spend a year in China teaching when I get out of the Marines)

-Latin Dance (to look good during our first dance as a married couple - getting married in October)

This fall will be my first regular semester at my new school (University of Nebraska at Omaha). I am finishing up my second summer session next week (how cool is it that I can complete four semester-long courses in two months?!).

-Special Topics: Nebraska Field Trip (only a one-credit course to fulfill a requirement leftover from transfer)
-Principles of Creative Advertising (Journalism)
-Introduction to Latino/Latin American Studies
-Introduction to Public Administration
-Nonprofit Fundraising

I am also doing a Public Administration internship for the American Lung Association, which makes 16 total hours (12 is full-time). It's so nice that most (all but one) of my core classes are done and I can focus on the fun stuff.

Don't be. My first sign language class (I've had three) was cake. Most people, if not all got the hang of it. If you've had a foreign language class in the past, it could help. Learning about deaf culture was fascinating.

I thought I'd work my way up to full time, just taking 10 credits.

Math 065 (which will be a challenge because my placement test put me at Math 017 -- how sad is that? Still, I have been reading the text book and none of it is particularly scary until you get to the last chapter.)

Introductory economics. Should be pretty easy, as my dad's an accountant and I've studied some economics before. It should also be pretty fun. The instructor is a hippie and plays rock music during the lectures.
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
You have a course just entitled introductory economics, not introductory microeconomics or introductory macroeconomics? Interesting. What school do you go to?
 
Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
 
jeniwren, good luck! You can do it!

I took about 15 years off too, and thought it was going to be impossible, now I cannot imagine my life if I hadn't decided to go back to school.

I just got my grades from the summer term - all A's! Since I returned to school after that 15 year absence, I've maintained a perfect 4.0. I never thought I'd be able to keep up with classes, let alone make those types of grades, but it's been easier than I thought. I think because I'm truly dedicated now, I want this really bad and I'm willing to put in the hours and time to study and make it happen.

Posted by NotMe (Member # 10470) on :
 
It is actually called "Fundamentals of Economics" and it is a mix of macro and micro stuff. It is EC205 at NCSU. It is one of the more popular elective classes.
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Interesting. It is allowed as a pre-req to both intermediate micro and intermediate macro, which is good. It would be possible to do an economics degree somewhat more quickly, there. I'm of the opinion that intro to micro and intro to micro are easily substituted for (which is what I did [Wink] ), so I'm all for a class that makes getting them out of the way earlier.

Hopefully they'll even teach about macro by using microfoundations. It is perhaps a little too much to hope that use calculus instead of those annoying piecewise tables, though . . .

Currently my schedule is:

Anthropology of Religion
Elements of Cultural Geography
Contemporary Issues in Pro. Writing
Journalism 1

But i'm tossing around the idea of switching my major from Professional Writing to English Literature. I'm not sure, though. I have a lot of dreams of being a novelist, or a writer for tv shows or movies...but i never write. Ever. And i feel like if i'm not writing now, when it's my major and my career aspiration, then I'm never going to.

So i think if i switch it to English Lit i would go for a masters in the same, and then try to teach college level literature. I don't know. I go back and forth everyday!

I see. Actually, I student taught at my old high school for a while. The other teachers seemed to think it was pretty neat to see me back and my students wanted to see my yearbook picture. The only weird part was getting used to calling my old teachers by their first names and seeing them act like regular people between classes.

It sounds to me like switching to English Lit would be your best option. In fact, it sounds like that's what you've already decided to do. And if you do decide writing is still what interests you, an English Lit degree isn't exactly going to hurt.


I feel so...inexperienced next to all of you. I'm 24 and I just started taking college classes last fall. Right now I'm taking 3-4 classes per semester online through the USG's eCore program. It's very convenient, and it's giving me some time to decide exactly what I want to do. This semester I'm taking American Lit, Ancient World History, and Geology. So exciting, huh?

Ericka's got her goals set (double major in English Lit and Film Studies), but I'm still pretty confused. I've been toying with the idea of doing something with Philosophy and English, but I'm just not sure how practical that would be.

Eh...I don't know...

Actually, with the glut of English Ph.D.s, it's very hard to teach at the college level without one, even at junior colleges where an M.A. used to be fine.

Not that I want to discourage you. After all, I'm getting a Ph.D. in Literature, which is, if anything less useful than a Ph.D. in English (but marginally more useful than my M.A. in English).
 
Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
 
What Loren said. You can find a job on the instructor level teaching freshman comp and lit survey courses with a master's but you don't get paid squat. High school teachers make more than English instructors with MAs at universities around here.

A buddy of mine does it, though and loves it. He teaches I think three classes a semester, one of them online, and has lots of time to spend with his kids and to work on his real love - playwrighting. So, I'm not trying to discourage you either, just letting you know the realistic expectations you can have if you're looking for a job at the university level with only a MA.

If I don't get into Drawing: maybe Japanese 3. Or something completely different. Who knows.

This is just what I'm signed up for at the moment; it's highly subject to change. There are basically only three classes I absolutely have to take, and one of them is in the spring. Everything else is pretty fluid. Ahh, the joys of being a senior.

I can't believe you're already a senior! Wow! Time flies.

I am loving my classes and profs so far. Of course, one of the great things about being a senior also is that in your major, you have probably had all the profs before so they know you. But even the ones who were new to me seem pretty cool.

My Milton class is going to be so great. We spend a couple weeks warming up with some poetry of his and one prose piece, then we spend the rest of the semester on Paradise Lost. We have two short papers to write and one large research project, where we have to make an oral report on our findings but do not have to write it up in paper form (at least, undergrads like me don't - those taking it for master's credit do have to write a 15 page paper).
 
Posted by JaneX (Member # 2026) on :
 
I can't believe it either. I'm in denial, actually - I don't want to graduate!

I took Milton last semester. It wasn't very good, but that was because I didn't like the professor...which was a shame. I really like Paradise Lost.

All right, finally finalized my final schedule...finally.

Anthropology of Religion
Music from Ancient Times to 1825
Elements of Cultural Geography
Shakespeare's Early Plays
Women in Mathematics


The music, geography, and math classes are gen eds, required for the major, and the Shakespeare class is specifically major-related, and the anthropology class is for kicks. However, this means I have FIVE classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, one right after another with only one hour break in the middle for lunch. 0_0 intense...especially since after one of the classes, I have to book it all the way to the complete opposite side of campus in 10 minutes for the next class!
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
Ugh, this topic inspires a gigantic rant in me. This is my final year at university, and I'm taking fourth-choice classes for a number of reasons, largely including the fact that all the classes I was particularly interested in were listed in the course booklet but not actually offered! Surprise! This includes things like: The Psycology of Politics, History of Electricity, The Golden Myth (about Saints), and about a zillion more. When I was picking courses, it was almost farcical. "Oh, that sounds interesting!... Oh, it's not offered." This happened- I'm not exaggerating- about ten times, which is twice the number of courses I need. It seems that my interests vary sharply from the average or simply that the university I attend hates me with the heat of a thousand suns.

In addition, I didn't get into the Creative Writing course, a fact I was initially happy about because it meant I could take the History of Electricity course I had been interested in. Of course, it wasn't actually offered. It also meant I could take a 400-level course (unless you're doing a specialist, you don't have to- crazy, I know), but getting into the one I want is going to require ninja-like luck; there are six people ahead of me on the list and only 20 spaces in the class.

As I stand, I am taking:

International Law - I'm most interested in the clientele this class should attract. I expect everyone to have a laptop, a strong political opinion, a way of saving the world, and an Evil Overlord complex.

The High Middle Ages - I'm actually looking forward to this.

ENG322 - Fiction before 1832.
ENG202 - Poetry and Prose 1500-1600 - These two because I need two classes that fit into an "A" category. English before 1800. I assume the top one counts, although I should probably double-check that.

Hopefully, ENG422 - "Writing About Cities"; books and authors who write about and in and around cities. It sounds fascinating and if I get in I hope it makes up for my other disappointments.

However, none of these classes begin before 11:00am, and the rest of my year should be full of extracurriculars and other exciting things.

College Algebra. MAT 950

Which one stands out? [Wink]

For Intro to Law and Politics one of the required readings is State of Fear by Michael Crichton! How cool is that?

I'm pretty excited about this semester. It's going to be alot of work, but fortunately I was able to modify my work shift so that it wraps around my schedule rather then just pushing things out of the way.

Next semester is going to likely be more history then political science. Also I am virtually certain that I am going to have to take a math course next year in the summer if I am ever going to get done with school [Frown]

I start classes tomorrow with Writing 140, Math 226 (Calculus III), and a history of California class.

Huzzah!
