Classes

When you're a second-year student at Gallaudet, you know they always do a shit-job of the whole work in registering for classes, contacting advisers/professors/whoever, letting you know the pre-requirements, and so forth on.

It took me the whole summer to finally get off my butt and register for classes. I had registered half of it already, but the system was all jumbled up. Gallaudet has a new minor, in Linguistics, and I was waiting for that to get into the system. After almost two months, I finally logged into my Gally account and found that they changed the whole layout. It's somewhat better, but too much clicks to get to what I want.

Nonetheless, I got my classes signed up. The times are really dumb, but I didn't have any other choice. Too much conflicts, and some I couldn't change because it had only one time slot. So without further ado, here's my Fall 2008 schedule. P.S. TT means Tuesday and Thursday.

EDU 250 - Introduction to Education. MW, 3-4:20pm Self-explanatory. I'm just taking this to see if I will really want to teach. It's a late afternoon class. Those are unavoidable. Damn it. Ibuprofen will become my new best friend... again.

ASL 301 - ASL & English: Comparative Analysis. TT, 9:30-10:50am This one will be different. The past ASL classes has been pretty much superficial, touching the surfaces of many various topics. I'm hoping that it's going to be a lot more entertaining, too, that taking notes will be worthwhile!

LIN 301 - Introduction to Phonology and Morphology. TT, 1-2:20pm This is my most exciting class -- in my opinion, and even though I haven't even taken it yet. I enjoyed my linguistics class so much, I was thrilled when it came out as a minor so I grabbed this when it came up. Phonology AND morphology in one! It's gonna be such an orgasm for my eyes and hands.

ENG 392 - Creative Writing. MWF, 11-11:50am This one is self-explanatory, too. The topic hasn't been announced, but I probably got an email on it already then forgot about it. Oh well. I'm looking forward to it!

GSR 230 - Scientific and Quantitative Reasoning. MWF, 8-9:50am. The topic is "The American Diet" I think this will be the one class that will make me want to dig pins into my eyes. But this was the last class I picked, and I had a lot of different topics and times to pick from, but none fit my schedule. And apparently this has lab. Whatever lab is, it doesn't sound so good.

So there you have it. Some I'm excited for, some I'm just dreading for. Win some, lose some! Mondays and Wednesdays will be my excruciatingly busy days (embellishing, me? Never.) and then there's that 8am class. I'm guessing that it's a colorful way of telling me that I have to grow up. Okay then!
