Spring 2012 Timetables

Datura

actually a very nice person
For many university/high school students (American ones, at least), the fall semester is coming to a close. I've already got my spring schedule planned; anybody else? What does your timetable look like?

I will be taking Environmental Geography (Monday/Wednesday 9:00-9:50), mostly because it's a required course for my intended major, which is Urban Geography. On Monday I will also have an Environmental Geography discussion from 11:00-11:50. My next Monday/Wednesday class is Intermediate German Grammar & Usage from 12:30-13:45. I'm incredibly nervous about it, especially because I took a semester off from German and I probably ended up forgetting most of it. Oops. Finally on Monday/Wednesday, I have Honors Seminar: The Pursuit of Pleasure from 16:00-17:15, which I'm fairly excited about. The course is about how entertainment (cinemas, amusement parks, etc.) has evolved throughout human history and how entertainment venues reflect the social backgrounds of their users.

Then I have Intermediate Algebra (Tuesday/Thursday 9:30-10:45), which is going to be incredibly easy. I'm only taking it to fulfill the University's math requirement, which I unfortunately didn't test out of. Oh well. Not worried about this! On Thursday I have Queer Migrations from 16:00-18:40. It fulfills the University's Cultural Diversity requirement, which is the only reason I'm taking it. Hopefully it isn't too boring, because I imagine I'll be quite exhausted by that time on Thursday.

The reason I kept my Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays relatively open is because I want to keep my work schedule (I'm a web developer for one of the colleges within the University) fairly easy to maintain.

Yay for having one less six-hour studio than I did this semester. :I

explanation of the classes:

"Illust Stu Conc Prac" is also known as "Illustration Methods" and is basically the generic Illustration class for Sophomores. It has all the cool assignments like character design and caricature and whatnot.

"Ill Studio Dsn Dig" is one six-hour class divided into two sections; the first part is more of a design class where we do annoying assignments that the professor even admits he designs specifically to piss us off. The second part is a digital class where we learn about Photoshop and Illustrator.

"AD Design Concepts" is an Advertising/Graphic Design class where we spend a million dollars printing shit out every week and design page spreads, print ads, and ads in general. "AD Design Conc (Team)" is the same thing only it's all group projects.

Philosophy and Psychology are self-explanatory. :v

Vilken ingenjör typ studerar du att bli? Electrical/computer seems quite promising. (Och känns som jag har frågat dig förr. Oh well.)

Well... This is what I'm doing now. So basically, it could be anything. I'm leaning towards Engineering Physics, though the Master of Science in Engineering + Master of Education combo would make sense, since I've considered becoming a teacher. Really, anything that lets me refer to myself as "Magister Chen" will do.
 
My school goes from 7:45-2:37.
1. PE (s1), Health (s2)
2. English 10
3. Women's choral
4. US history
5. Spanish
6.honors Bio
7. Geometry

At my school, fith period has four sections of 24 minute each (each regular class is 48 minutes long). We have one block of study hall, one block of lunch, and two blocks of class. The order can change depending on the lunch you have
 
Introduction to Drawing, Representation and Interpretation, Creativity: Theory, Practice and History, Film and Cinema Studies. not that excited for film and cinema studies, but I have to take it if I want to take Animation & Filmosophy.

Aa jag har hört av KTH förr. I can admit that "Magister Chen" sounds quite nice. Jag tycker du kunde lära väl. I'm not sure what i'd look for in a graduate program. Probably Computer Science, if i head to study at that level.
 
I'll go look it up.
