My final semester of college begins in 8 hours.  I know most high schools started last week or so, but I thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone is taking this semester.

Here's what I'm taking:
  • Marching Band
  • Jazz Band
  • Trombone Choir
  • Trombone Lessons (1-on-1 sessions with the prof to improve personal technique)
  • Communications Research (the only class I need to graduate)
  • Beginning Acting
  • Special Topics: American Cinema of the 1980's

The only course I'm taking is money. Cha-ching, you filthy peasants! SMILEY

However, two years ago I would have been doing the following (after another month's holiday):

 - Advanced Theoretical Physics
 - Advanced Astrophysics
 - Theoretical Astronomy (seeing a pattern emerge?)
 - Master's project: augmenting dark matter halo merger trees

This is at Leicester University.


Last Year I was doing English and Film Studies as a supplement, which entailed:

English:
 - 'The Novel' - Boring
 - 'An introduction to English Literature' - Semi-Interesting
 - 'History of the English Language' - Awesome (Seriously)
 - Shakespeare + contemporaries -- Say what you will, he wrote good plays.

Film:
 - 'Reading Film' - Mediocre
 - 'Realism and the Cinema' - Awesome


And this year, I drop the supplementary and do the main thing, so this year it's:

English:
- I have no idea yet.

Well, this week I'm finishing up my finals, so i'm still in my "Summer semester" of college/uni for Graphic Design (Year round courses, but I get a Bachelor's Degree in 3 years, woohoo).

I have been taking,
  • Information Design
  • Senior Portfolio (twice a week)
  • Advertising Concept Design
  • Microbiology
  • [corresponding labs for design classes that do nothing but take up time]
After this week is over, I have about a week's break until my final semester begins... unless of course another tropical storm and/or hurricane delays it for a week or something. o.O  Then, I begin my hardest schedule ever!: /sarcasm;
  • Economics
  • Internship <-- which basically means getting myself another, higher paying job, which I do have set up. Yay!

Then I'm done in December! SMILEY

Evidently so.  I took Podcasting back at the beginning of the summer.  I was in need of 2 more credits to qualify for my scholarship and I'm an '80s movie buff, so I figured it'd be an easy A.  I'll find out tomorrow when I actually have it though.

Freshman Year, Semester One at University of Illinois

  • Chemistry (CHEM102, CHEM103) - Still seems unnecessary for a CS major
Penn State drops the Chem requirement on Engineering Degrees if its a Computer Science major. Instead we have to pass CompSci122 instead of Chem110.
