I r in collij.  
So I "passed" my math test today, and I guess I don't have to take any math outside of your standard stats course. So big ups for me refreshing my algebra II and basic trig after 10 years and more.

Aside from that, registration was your usual frustrating process of "all full" or "schedule overlap". So I'm doing Effective Writing (Fresh. Comp.) and French 101. I've had 4 years of German, but German wasn't open... History wasn't open... Chemistry, Biology and Physics wasn't open... so yeah... I didn't have much choice and I had to take something.

But, I like French, what little I know. I like to speak it and I like to read it, so why not have basic understandings of 2 languages? It's just a general requirement anyway, not like I was going to learn fluently anyways.

Good news is, is that their Religion and Philosophy majors are small enough to easily double major with little extra time. Neat! Why the hell not? Sign me ups.

I'm waiting to hear back from a full Religion class. The advisor said he'll e-mail the prof to see if he'll let me get in this semester, otherwise I'm stuck with taking only 2 classes. We'll see. A full-time job and three courses? Doable, certainly.

I'm concerned about horsey time and what is left.

I'm really happy to see you doing this. I think it's a great move for you. You'll probably find it pretty tough to take three classes and work full time, and I just wanted to show you a little cyber-support in that area. Good luck with the whole thing; I think it will be worth it for you.

What school is it that you will be attending?

Augsburg! Thanks for your support. I'm near-to 29 and finally mature enough for this whole "school" thing.

Sweet. I attended the U of M for a time and lived at Middlebrook on the the West Bank, so I lived in that neighborhood for a couple of years. It's not a bad neighborhood.

Don't underestimate the power of whining, if there's a class you want to get into, complain to the prof, the registrar, and someone at the department. If it's for a major you're going to declare, tell them that and they should make room for you.

Yeah... unfortunately if there is one thing I'm terribly bad at it is pressing an issue with a bureaucracy or people in general. I'm never assertive, until I am, and then I'm a straight up asshole... but if it isn't some special case... I lack the... social comfort and badgering someone else and worry about looking mean or an ass.

But the advisor is tryin' to hook me up so we'll see how it goes.

(Outside of any official capacity, I mean. Give me rank and watch me go!)
