School Daze

Success! We (meaning I) have successfully registered for school for the second semester. And... I've managed to work a schedule that actually gets me into 3 classes - but only 3 nights a week! Classes include... Math 103 - Intermediate Algebra (again, I ask you... what exactly is the point of this class). Next... we have Mass Media and Society, and, finally, Intro to Physical Anthropology. Sounds fun, eh?! I think so! Been fascinated by archaeology and anthropology for a while now, and imagine my surprise when I found I could use this for one of my GE classes! So... pretty cool, huh?! Classes will be pretty much from 5-9 on Tue/Wed/Thur - but that's doable. Gives me plenty of time to get my homework done - if I APPLY myself! Can't do the whole Scarlett O'Hara thing we were talking about a few weeks ago. With any luck there won't be quite as many papers due. One good research paper for Anthro, probably. Maybe two. Not sure what to expect w/Mass Media. I'll probably have to do some critiquing there. Analyzing of media in society, etc. Might have to do some kind of report on the history of... mass media? I dunno. Can't kid myself that it will be all lecture & tests. I'm sure there will be homework - so, just have to prepare myself for that now.

Well... tomorrow I'll head for the book store, to pick up necessities. Keep your fingers crossed that we don't end up with astronomical fees!

In typical fashion, I'll be going into things a day late and a dollar short. I put off things 'til the last minute. Then, in a fit of - I don't know... call it depression, the blues, pre-school angst... whatever - I allowed the first week of classes to pass me by. So, I'll be starting things a week behind everyone. Fortunately - that only means 1 class period for two of the classes. Two for the Math class - but I think that's going to be my easiest to catch up in. Kind of worried about the others, but I'll figure it out. As long as there wasn't any major homework assignment in the first week - then I should be okay. Guess we'll all find out on Wednesday & Thursday, huh?

This is a bit short & sweet, but necessarily so. I need to hit the sack - got loads to do tomorrow. I'll attempt to update a bit sooner next time. Summer's over so there's actually stuff happening more - regular-like, now. And, I think I'm out of my funk - so that's helpful.

Anyhoo, wish me luck! More later...
