    Man, I think I should just wait for the orientation and not even bother trying to put a schedule together. The registration website, catalogue, and AP equivalency chart aren't synced at all.

    "You girl you gotta take this class except it isn't listed on the registry of classes"

    "Check it your AP score is equal to this class that no longer exists"

    You should see a counselor.

    Write down a bunch of questions before you go.

    Why would anyone (other than literary masochists) willing read Atlas Shrugged? You should know better, Orikae. :(

    the community colleges in CA are impacted to hell right now, thanks to a cut back in funding and the fact that since everyone is out of a job, they're going back to school.

    This was my main reason for not heading into one. Too many people I know only getting like, 2/3 classes. Or this one girl I'd known who come in to give a presentation on why CC would be a good idea up until someone asked her how many classes she'd been able to get.

    None.

    Smart girl too. A shaaaame.

    My mom is trying to explain the American higher education system to my Brasilian godmother and it is going terribly.

    "That is a terrible system the Brasilian system is so much better how does anyone get anything done that doesn't sound useful at all where is the focus no no don't you think I know this already look you are misinformed I read that no that isn't right listen to me agakajghadh."

    Each time she comes she just ends up bitching about how Brasil is so much better than America, her biggest qualm this time around is how everything is made in China and just how could they? If you don't like a country don't visit it. And if you must, at least be a gracious guest.

    You should tell her to love it, or leave it.

    Especially right after July 4th. I am admittedly a lazy, sappy patriot so of course I don't like hearing it.

    And then there is the fact that she lives at the base of the goddamn giant Jesus statue, she is far from the crummy sections of Rio De Janeiro. She's viewing everything through the lens of a uniquely privileged Brasilian citizen who rarely steps foot outside of her safe, pretty, tourist-friendly haven.

    And she wants to take me on a trip. I am terrified that it will come to pass. I don't know how well I can tolerate her by myself for more than a few hours.

    Yeah my mom doesn't want me going either so she has spinned a hell of a yarn so I don't have to go. She can scarcely tolerate this woman either.

    I want to be a househusband.

    The best part is, as a male, I wouldn't actually be expected to clean or cook very well! So I'd basically just sit at home all day while the wife goes out and earns money for me.

    I went to orientation this week, which was (kind of surprisingly) pretty good!

    I'm kind of tempted to pursue a double major in English & Biology instead of just English, although I don't even know if that's a thing that's done or if I could do it under four years or what.

    I want to do with you

    Oh I also have 9 o'clock or so classes most days of the week. Did I make a big mistake?

    For me the biggest problem with 9am starts is the traffic. A lot of people can't handle the early start but most of them just need to harden the fuck up.

    I thought you dropped more than 1% marks on the mid semester?
    I want bonus marks.

    You can totally pull of a double major in fours years, you just have to dedicate yourself to it & be really good at scheduling needed courses early on in your college education.

    The trouble comes when you are near the end of your sophomore year, and either don't know what you want to major in or you suddenly change your major.

    Yeah, this is how it worked for me during UCF's orientation; they set us up with counselors who helped us set up our classes.

    I'm not sure if your school does the same thing though, so you might want to check.

    Also, if this is the case, make sure to double check whatever schedule your counselor helps you set up; mine managed to fuck me up pretty good, and I spent my first two semesters trying to fix everything.

  • stimtokolosstimtokolos Registered User regular
    I am so glad I haven't had a class before 9am these last two semesters.

    A couple of years back in my old course I had an 8am lecture that lasted 3 hours with the most boring lecturer imaginable. I can read the slides myself at home, stop this.

    I used to go because he'd drop hints for the exam and some other stuff, but his teaching was the incredibly uninspiring. Slept through most of it, but managed to wake up at the correct times to hear hints.

    8 is the earliest they ever schedule classes here by the way.

  • TheStigTheStig Registered User regular
    I had a 7 am class last semester.
    Never doing that again.

    I don't think I've seen anything before 9am in my new faculty even available.
    I figure it is because all the lecturers hate it as well and feel silly lecturing a class with a much lower than normal attendance rate.

  • L|amaL|ama Registered User regular
    ive got 10am starts every day

    its nice & consistent

  • stimtokolosstimtokolos Registered User regular
    Still waiting on my timetable, I need like 1 of 5 different things to go my way, and I'll be able to swing just Monday - > Thursday.

    Last semester was the same, but all 5 fell through and I spent a day making phonecalls and sending polite emails to get my way.

    Once I had it all sorted (this is all after we put through preferences, get auto assigned and then can manually shuffle ourselves where there is room) one of my lecturers tells me that we have to make sure our lecture is before our tute every week. After people had already been shuffling themselves for a good day or so and managed to fill all the classes to capacity so no one could move an inch.

    F5ing that page for a good two hours, then I took a nap, woke up again and F5ed some more and got it sorted. Kind of annoying to not let people know how they need to structure their week until after the allocations are meant to be done.

    If you're doing something like english and biology you'll probably want to consider taking summer classes, otherwise your semesters will be filled to the brim with both classes and labs every semester; resulting in you dropping one of the two and/or going insane.

    Yeah this is a concern. If I do it I'll probably also have to kiss any study abroad plans goodbye.

    It is easier to double major when the two have overlapping courses, but that is not the case with you.

    Double majoring in a theoretical-based field and a practical-based field sucked.
