Whoo. courses.

Fall 06:
MAT 104 Calculus - Not bad, but terribly boring lectures.
COS 126 Intro to Comp Sci - Very difficult for someone, like me, with no CS experience
SPA 108 Advanced Spanish - Placed here via summer placement test. Most was simple review, but I still managed to fail a test
PHI 201 Introduction to Logic - I kept falling asleep in lecture. This class isn’t bad if you keep up. Once you fall behind, you’re doomed like I was. I got a C+ on the final.

I hated fall semester. I had a miserable time. I was involved in too many things and didn’t really have a lot of friends because pton gave me a single room and I’m super introverted. yay!

Spring 07:
MUS 104 Making of Music: Basically a song writing class, but it was fun and easy. Probably because I am a “musician” of sorts. But, even nonmusicians liked the class. You listen to popular music in lectures. Every time.
COS 217 Intro to Computer Systems: I don’t know why I kept telling myself that I could get that certificate in computing without prior experience in CS. This class was hard as hell, but made bearable by my preceptor Bob Dondero (if you take the class, get him, because he is amazing). I got A’s on all of my assignments because I used days to work on them, but basically failed my exams, so I got a frigging C+ in the end.
WRI 176 Archaeology of Sex and Gender: Super interesting. I’m not a writer at all, but I really enjoyed this class and did reasonably well in it. It’s one of the required writing seminars, by the way.
HIS 343 Civilization of the Early Middle Ages: I don’t do well with history classes, and I tend to avoid them, but I took this to fulfill the requirement. I actually liked it to some degree, and it’s really not hard to do well in it. I actually never dozed off during lecture, which I am apt to do.

I don’t have a clue what I’m going to major in, by the way.
