Spring Edumacationz

  Me being the mentally unstable person that I am, I signed up to continue college for the spring semester.  I managed to find some good classes, and I can only hope they'll treat me like a lady.

  I signed up the on 2nd day of registration and Comp 2 was already filled.  Damn.  Oh well, it's really a good thing because it saves me a lot of pain and anguish.  I hate despise papers.  I would've signed up for Contemporary math for liberal arts majors but, since I did so badly in the math accuplacer, I can't take it.  It's a shame because it looks really easy with not a single mention of algebra (my arch nemesis).  I would have to take the zero credit algebra classes before taking my required non-algebra math.  See what's wrong with this picture?

  But without further ado, here are next semester's classes.

  American/TX: National State (GOVT):  This is a pretty important core class.  My experience with government class in high school wasn't too bad, but I'm not in Kansas anymore.  There will obviously be papers, text books from hell, you name it.  Government is not a huge interest of mine, but I want to get it out of the way.  


  Introduction to Weather: This is a huge science credit, and a science class I would totally like.  I've always loved meteorology and when I was little I thought it would be badass to be a storm chaser, of course I now realize how extremely suicidal that is.  Spending a good part of my childhood in the middle of nowhere increased my interest in weather.  I feel pretty confident about getting good grades in this class.  

  And finally I will be taking 
  Intro to World Religions: ☯ I love religion studies.  They're fascinating and rich in culture/history.  Particular religions that attract me (other than Catholicism) are Buddhism and Kabbalah as well as Paganism.  Incorporating teachings from all religions is a good way to have a well rounded spiritual experience and to just be a more worldly person.  This class should be a lot of fun!  And don't worry, I will not turn into an obnoxious religion snob who feels the need to debate (aka argue) about it every chance I get.


  Well this about sums up my future spring.  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Something I may or may not blog about.  By the way, if any of my friends read these, feel free to suggest something for me to blog about.  I have some ideas, but other people might have better ones. ;〉

  I'm gonna be perfectly honest here and say that college is not a walk in the park.  I'm a freshman going on 9 hrs this semester and next.  I'm all signed up for the spring and I'm just hoping things go as well then as they are now.  I can't imagine doing college full time and working.  To me, that's just suicidal.  Another thing to note is that all my classes are currently online classes, and I'm not ashamed.

  I guess I would like college more if I really knew what I wanted to do with my life.  I mean I have a few subjects that I like and I want to go into a career involving them.  Which career in particular?  No clue.  I really envy people who just know exactly what they want and pursue it.

  But enough whining, here are my current classes.  In a later blog I'll discuss my spring classes.  

  This semester I'm taking,
  English Composition 1:  Basically this class is more of a pain than anything.  Pretty much every single thing in this class is a giant inconvenience.  I understand college as a whole is an inconvenience; but this class takes it to a new level.  Now don't get me wrong, the required reading was good (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass).  But pretty much everything assigned in the class makes me hate it.  I'm not the constant paper writing type.

  General Psychology:  Probably my most interesting class so far.  I took it on because I wanted to, not just because it's a core class.  I'm an introvert, but I think people and the way they think are fascinating.  The textbook is wonderfully interesting and has lots a colorful pictures to hold my attention. haha  Becoming some sort of therapist is definitely a possible future career for me.
 
  Last, but not least, there's
  U.S. History 1:  Also a class I chose out of pure interest.  My teacher is on the picky temperamental side, but I think I know what she looks for so it's not too bad.  I rented the textbook, but I'm afraid I can't return it in its current condition.  It looks like I decided to study while skydiving and had a rough landing.  I'm just gonna pay in full for it instead of handing it back in and embarrassing myself.  You may not be able to tell by the picture below, but the book is pretty beat up.

  
  US History is challenging but in a good way.  I enjoy it, despite how demanding it is, and I grudgingly admit I've learned a lot.  Just observe the pure badassery below.

  That would be some epic whaling on one page, and my distant cousin on the other.  History is great, but my question is, what would I do with a history degree (other than teach) that I could make a living off of?  Maybe museum science or something.

  The last "class" I had to take was two full saturdays of Student Development.  Notice the class did not get the fancy bold print the other ones did.  That's because it's not a real class.  It was pretty much a waste of time.  SAC forces all incoming freshmen to pay for and take it.  I just thank baby Jesus I got it over and done with.

  Each of my real classes are 3 hrs worth and all academic.  I am completely ready for a break and look forward to Christmas with James. ♡

My Blog!

  So I really really like to talk.  When I was little I was told I talk too much.  I just have a lot to say!  So I figured it would do me some good to put my thoughts into a blog as opposed to facebook notes.  I use those mainly for time wasting surveys anyway.  I tried Tumblr but just couldn't get the hang of it, so that's why I'm here. 

  Anyway!  Whenever I feel like ranting about something, I'll do it here.  It's totally up to you if you want to read my blogs, but I'm really just blogging for my benefit.  I like the sound of typing on a keyboard.  I'll try to prevent my postings from getting too long, but I refuse to post just one or two sentences.  That, my friends, is a Tweet not a true post! ..... http://twitter.com/songbird1331

  This weekend marks the beginning of Thanksgiving week.  Yeah my school load doesn't cut me much slack, but I intend on practicing more gluttony than usual.
