Fall 2010 Semester Schedule

Classes for fall semester were finally posted today. Yes I am that big of a nerd. Registration is still a month away. I like to be able to work my schedule though. Next semester is going to be tight though. I need to be able to get into all of my classes or I will have to stay a whole extra semester. I'm kind of nervous too because a lot of the classes only have one section offered and all of the classes only have between 15-30 slots. I wouldn't be so nervous except for the fact that there is no other way for my schedule to fit without dropping at least one of the classes which would mean I would have to stay here longer. Also registration starts at 8 am on April 12th & I don't get to register until 11:30 am on April 15th.

The schedule that I have set up does require me to take a night class though. I haven't taken a night class since my freshmen year. I hate them so much. I cannot stand sitting in a class for 3 hours. I go nuts. There was no way around it though. This semester I have ALL history classes. I may end up hating my life or history during this upcoming semester. This is exactly what I was told not to do. However I have so 6 left & the rest of my classes all have to be taken together. So it was either have a history filled semester or stay at school longer. I think I'll take my chances with the all history semester thanks.

So if all goes as planned my schedule will be:
