No Plan Survives Contact With The Enemy
Jan 19th 2007
If you’ve stumbled upon my previous post about getting everything straightened out with my schoolwork and having a plan for continuing, it’s time for a little update.
I had my Constitutional Law class last night and…I’m opting to drop it. The professor is an assistant district attorney for the state and he’s teaching the course like law school basically. It’s going to be way too time intensive for me to work full time as well as take that course.
So I’m now going to be taking a desktop publishing type course Thursday nights. Probably a bit more manageable as far as time goes.
Now I’m just waiting for the billing department there to mess up because I dropped a course and added a new one. I figure they’ll be sending me a refund and then sending me to collections because I didn’t pay for the course I added. This is based on my experience from last semester about them losing the payment.
I Have…A Plan!
Jan 14th 2007
Thursday I managed to get a hold of the department head at my college so we could discuss what I need to get done in order to graduate (finally).
After a lengthy conversation, I ended up needing the Software Engineering class which had sparked this whole thing to begin with (since I needed to take it at night, but it’s never offered at night), the final big project thingy, some sort of Western Civilization course and 2 open elective courses that are whatever I feel like taking.
The confusion with my calculus has been resolved I hope. He said that even though I took calc at my first school, when I transfered into my current one, they took my pre-calc course as the highest level of math I completed, even though calc 1 was on my transcript. He said he’d fix that.
So I’m taking 2 classes this semester. Themes in Western Civilization since the Renaissance (Western Civ requirement) and Constitutional Law (Open Elective #1). I’m interested in the constitutonal law stuff so I figured that’s a decent pick. Seperation of powers, supreme court decisions and their effect on the branches of government, etc.
I’m probably going to be taking one course over the summer (open elective #2) and then finish out with the software engineering class and the project in the winter and graduate by december.
That’s the plan…hopefully things don’t go off. I really want to get done with school and put all of this junk behind me.
