Any other college students start back this week?

[bicentennial_baby]

If so, how's it going? :hi:

So far, I've had all of my classes. Not too bad, a few kinda icky ones, but I'll live. If I want to graduate in June, I have to stick with what I have...stupid requirements. One of my Econ profs is a but Nazi-esque in her policies, but whatever.

:)

1. I had my first two classes yesterday

a PE and a drawing class. Tomorrow I have PE and a design class. So far so good and I'm pleased that I am not the oldest person in my classes.

:)

[bicentennial_baby]

2. I am in a bunch of mine too

:hug: Is this your first year back?

I don't know how I feel about my Art class yet...Printmaking. We shall see.

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

5. Yes

My youngest is starting all day Kindergarten on Friday, so now I'm finally going to get a degree. I have 22 credits transferred from 13-18 years ago. I'm going for a AS in Fine Arts partime for now.

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

7. That is awesome!! All luck to you!

yay! :bounce:

:pals:

[Lethe]

3. yep we started early this year (2 weeks ago)

So far I am loving it except for memorizing all the damn fish bones. (Ichthyology)

:)

[bicentennial_baby]

4. What's your major?

Sounds kinda neat, regardless :)

:hi:

[Lethe]

6. Biology w/ emphasis in Aquatic Biology

So far it is very cool in the fact that the classes involve field work. Like for the Aquatic Biology class we go to the river and wade chest deep with nets capturing lots of bugs and various other stuff. Then we go to the lab and look at them under the microscope and classify them.

Ichthyology is kind of the same thing except with fish.

I guess I like the hands-on classes. They are fun. Memorizing stuff gets boring real quick for me anyways.

What is your major?

[bicentennial_baby]

8. Economics, hehe...

In a former life, I was a Science major...I loved Zoology, Micro, Chem...those were the days.

Best to you! And have fun! :hi:

[Lethe]

9. Good luck to you too!

Economics is interesting. I wish I knew more about it.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. It's nice to hear that...

Most people say it's boring or BS. I love it. :D

:pals:

[EstimatedProphet]

29. That's what I did

Bachelors, Master's and Doctorate. I loved going out to the field! I miss it now.

Good luck to you!

[Cabcere]

11. I started back last week.

So far, so good. :shrug: All of my classes are really interesting, but it's definitely going to be a tough semester - tons and tons of reading, presentations, research, etc. I'm hoping it will be worth it, though!

[bicentennial_baby]

12. What's your major?

I have sooo much reading as well...Although, last semester was all math and graphs and crap, so I can't complain too much :)

[Cabcere]

13. Anthropology.

I'm taking almost all anthro classes this semester, and since it's my senior year, they're all pretty high-level seminars and such. :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

15. I'm a Senior too!

I'm taking 2 classes for my Major (Econ), high-level, and 2 req's that I haven't finished up yet, an Art (Printmaking) and a Humanities (Philosophy). And I'm TA-ing a History class. It's gonna be a looong semester.

Good luck! :)

[Cabcere]

16. I have a lot of respect for Econ majors.

:hi: I took micro and macro as a sophomore when I thought I was going to major in International Relations, and even that was pretty rough for me, lol. Sounds like we're both going to have a pretty challenging semester! Best of luck to you, too. :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

20. Thank you!!

:pals:

We don't get a lot of respect on DU... :P

Once you get past the core classes, Micro and Macro 101, 102, 201, and 202, it's really not that bad! Although, 201 and 202 almost killed me... :P

[sasquatch]

14. I do, first night was tonight actually

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

18. What's your major?

:hi:

[sasquatch]

27. History

[Redstone]

17. Never went to college, in fact. (Unless you count going to colleges to

chase women, that is.) So I'm afraid I have nothing to contribute to this thread, not that it stopped me from posting here.

[bicentennial_baby]

19. Hey you!!

Good to see you! :hug:

Sometimes I wish I never did, but...too late now! Almost done!! :bounce:

Good to see you my friend!! :hi:

[datasuspect]

22. Well, I work on a college campus...if that counts

And it is now swarming with students. I like it, though, I like working on a college campus. It makes September so revitalizing...

But, it's been over 20 years since I've gone back to class myself.

[bicentennial_baby]

24. My profs like that too!

:hi:

[BreweryYardRat]

23. I started last Monday.

So far, so good...except for a horribly-written reading assignment on medieval political theory. I'm kind of uneasy about my Fiction 1 class, though...the guy's having us imitate other writers' styles, and I don't like that one bit.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Hm, that is weird...

I'm unsure about my Art class. We'll see how it goes, I guess. Good luck! :hi:

[BreweryYardRat]

26. Thanks.

Same to you.

[GRLMGC]

28. Had my first class yesterday

It's an acting class. I haven't taken one since high school so I'm kinda nervous.

Tomorrow is my first day of Child Development.

[bicentennial_baby]

30. Good luck to you!

:pals:

[GRLMGC]

31. You too! nt

[DarkTirade]

32. I'm trying to get back into school...

but first I need a new job. Can't schedule classes before I know what my hours will be. So I won't be able to get back until at least next semester.

[Mz Pip]

33. After

20+ years of being out of classrooms (not counting being on the teaching end of one) I went back to school a couple of weeks ago and am taking a multi-media arts class. I'm enjoying it and am happy to see many other middle-aged people in the class.

I have pretty much completed my first project which isn't due unti 10/11. I'm not taking the class for a grade since I already have a couple of college degrees. This is just for fun.

[LaraMN]

34. I still have a new one next Monday

but the others seem cool!

I'm SO glad to be back in school!

Requirements are a pita, for sure!

[bicentennial_baby]

35. I'm not so glad to be back...

This is my last year of my B.A....I'm more than ready to be done. And then, babymaking!! A nice break before my Master's. :D

Actually, we're planning to get pregnant this Winter. One semester pregnant, and then graduation! :bounce:

[LaraMN]

36. You have some busy years ahead of you!

Good busy, though- so much to look forward to!



:bounce:

:toast:

[bicentennial_baby]

37. Yes! And I've been taking my Prenatal Vitamins every day!

And I'm notoriously bad at taking daily pills...I guess I'm series about this. :o

:hug:
