Classes

Fun, fun. First day of Spring Quarter, and it is cold. 44 degrees right now, according to my Weatherbug, but it feels much colder. And it's windy. C'mon, people, get with the program. SPRING quarter.

Anyways, since I'm sure you all have nothing better to do,

Biology 113: Energy Transfer and Development
Exploration of biology and biological principles; topics include cell structure and function, reproduction and development of plants and animals, bioenergetics, genetics, and evolution.
The first part of a two-class science sequence. Five credit hours, lecture three days a week, lab once a week, and recitation once a week.

Comparative Studies H367.01: American Culture in the World
American culture viewed from inside and from the perspective of foreign cultures, as seen in literature, film, art, music, journalism, folklore, and popular culture.
A writing course, the second of three I'm required to take. Five credit hours, class twice a week.

Anthropology 401: Fundamentals of Archaeology
Introduction to basic archaeological theory and practice including fundamental field and laboratory; principles of survey, excavation, chronological analysis, typology, and palaeoethnography.
Five credit hours, class twice a week.

Japanese 101.51
Elements of standard colloquial Japanese grammar, with intensive oral and written exercises; introduction to the Japanese writing system (hiragana, katakana, and kanji).
Two credit hours. The .51 means that this is a self-taught class, where you just have to pass the test at the end of the quarter.

Mmm, sounds fun! Or so I tell myself.

I'm kinda jealous, but wait school involves homework, so no ;)

Hee!

Yeah, that's the way I feel too. I get all excited while I'm scheduling, but as soon as the actual classes start, I'm all blegh.

I took Japanese 101.51 ... Just so you know, you do have to go in to meet with a teacher for different parts of each unit. You set up meeting times, practice the ACT session for that meeting, and then go in and do the ACT session with the instructor.

Heh, yeah, actually I did know that, but I figured it would be easier to explain the other way. Silly me.

But thanks for the link! I didn't have it. :)
