I would've been done probably a year ago or so if i never got sick and had to miss a year. It sucks but keep working your ass off and you'll get done.

I'm also wanting to take Cisco security classes as well....just too much shit on my plate. GF also wants to go back to school after graduating MU in '05, wants to get an MBA or something, but likely to try law school as well

This semester, 15 hours:

Major (English):
Advanced Creative Nonfiction
The Literary Critic's Craft
Practicum - Teaching Writing

Minor (Philosophy):
Epistemology

And some electives:
Intro to Mass Media
People & Cultures - World Geography

Some art history classes, digital graphics, and a speech class.

Sounds like shes a keeper. I wish I could take more classes but 16 is the most I've ever taken. History classes with these professors are fairly easy as long as you take notes in class and study for the tests.

The college I go to lets you rent most textbooks.

heh... looking back my last semester was: Lightning, Advanced VLSI Design, Entrepreneurship for Engineers, and Fundamentals of Statistical Theory

Taking 16 hours at Park University

Intermediate Accounting

Financial Management
Microeconomics
French II

I'm hiring, but I need to see A's in aerothermochemistry and orbital mechanics.

Yeah, she has a ton of ambition and backs it up, i wish i wasn't so damn lazy i might be like her. She currently makes more dough than me, i could see her being a CEO or something in the future. I wish classes were that easy, i take a shit ton of notes on cpu and accounting but its so damn BORING....it's hard for me to stay interested. I've wanted to do CPU related work just because the money is there. I hope someday i can get a job related to sports or movies with my cpu background. My gf say's i should try to get on with ESPN (not in front of the camera) but behind the scenes shit.

What is your major? History i assume?

I just got home from buying books, and was going to start a rant thread about the cost....looks like I don't have it nearly as bad as some of you. $509 for 5 books.

I'm still working on core classes, and am taking 15 credit hours - MFW from 8am-11am, then a 1 hour break, then classes from Noon-2pm. Completely off on Tuesday/Thursday.

I took all my "fun" classes early, which is becoming quite the PITA now - stuck with a math class, Art Appreciation, Sociology, Astronomy and a Logic course. Neither of the 2 EDU classes I needed were offered this semester - that kinda screwed me as well.

I'm dropping down to part-time work while I'm in class, and am applying for an internship with one of the local professional sports franchises this week - my wife has a good friend on the inside - hope it helps - I'd kill to get my foot in the door. I actually need to start a thread on creating a kick ass cover letter....I've been lucky enough to not have to do it recently.

Any suggestions before I crank out a new thread?

I typically don't require books for many of my courses.

I did the same thing you did, I took all the fun classes first, Now I am stuck with the crap I could care less about. But hey I will be done in the spring of 2009!

I remember spending up to $200 the most in the early 90's for books, wow they have really shot up in price.

Public Finance
Money and Banking
American Foreign Policy
Art History

Two more semesters and a few more Economic classes and I'm fucking done son.

Cannot wait.

And I haven't bought a book in like 5 semesters. Most profs do everything off of powerpoint, and the book is just a study tool, and while helpful, isn't necessary.
