Fun is not on the horizon...

Registration begins on April 15 for the Summer courses at TCC, so I've been plotting and planning my and Hubby's schedules. The summer is split up into 2 terms, Summer I and Summer II. For Summer II we'll both be taking the same classes (to again save on books, be study partners, etc), but for the first term he's taking classes that I've already completed. For the Summer and Fall terms I'll be finishing out my Associates degree, and then head up to UNT in the Spring term of 2009. That's the master plan anyway.

I'm just not looking forward to my remaining core curriculum classes at TCC.

How I'm scheduling myself:

Summer I-
Business Computer Applications
Chemistry I

Summer II-
Intermed Algebra
US Government

Fall-
Functional Approach to College Algebra
Chemistry II
Humanities- (haven't decided which yet)
Physical Education

My biggest dilemma was the Chemistry class. I have to take 2 science classes, and have a choice between Biology, Chemistry, Geology, or Physics. I couldn't care less about rocks and dirt so Geology is out. Physics takes a ton of math, no thank you I'm doing enough math as it is. So that left either Biology or Chemistry. This is where the websites like RateMyProfessor come in handy. If you have to take subjects you hate, why torture yourself with teachers that hate you back and lower your GPA? Check out the instructors first to see which ones you should sign up for. The comments written by other students about the instructors made the deciding factor: the Biology teachers suck and the Chemistry teachers are okay.... so chemistry it is!

For Humanities I have to decide between Philosophy, Ethics, American Literature, World Literature, or a foreign language. I took German in high school, but don't want to take it again. I don't know, maybe Philosophy or World Lit. I'll have to ask around to the other students on campus and find out what they've taken.

What's lousy is the government classes. I have to take both US and Texas Govt to get the Associates degree... and they do transfer over to UNT, however... they only transfer as Political Science classes and then I have to take both US and Texas Govt AGAIN for UNT Government credits! So the same damn classes twice. Have I mentioned I hate government? I think I have oh maybe once or five times?

But, I need to get these core classes completed now, as I damn sure don't want to take them all at the university level! I'm trying to keep my GPA as high as possible, so that means get all the cores I can at TCC where it's a little easier to get an A.

Notice there's no Art classes listed... I may take one in the Fall, but I'll probably wait until I get to UNT to take any more. After all, those are my focus for the Bachelors, so I feel I ought to take them at the better school. I just don't think I'll get much out of a Ceramics class where I'm at now, why waste the time and money. Although the art classes were the only things keeping me sane through all this math and english and government, lol.

Enough rambling. Just talking out my plan, and welcoming comments from y'all if ya have suggestions on what to take.

That is, if you all are still reading and haven't been bored to tears.
