More spam. What's next in the school world?

Okay.

- I'm slated to do 15 credits, a full course load per quarter. But that will be 3 credits short for my AA degree. So somewhere in there I have to take an extra class.

- I have to pass a math test in the next week in order to take the science/math classes I need next quarter.

If I pass to a certain level, I can take one of my three science requirements.
If I pass to the next level, I can take two of the science requirements.
If I don't pass, I can't finish my degree by summer.

- I'm slated to do 300 hours of tutoring between now and November 2005 for Americorps Students in Service.

- FAFSA application January 1st.

- Need high school transcript from Waldorf by the end of January. Not an easy matter - they don't have my school records. I do.

- Application to UW by February 5th.

Oh. Yes. Minor matter of deciding my major.

You could actually come to the end of them, I suppose, if you studied them long enough.

Oh, not possible, we know so little. It's like Anthropology and Archeology (which I also love): bits and pieces of facts, we've only scratched the surface of what can be known. In my lifetime the theory of what destroyed the dinosaurs and what we know of our own evolution has changed radically, thanks to a geologist at the National Institute of Standards, John Windolph.

I noticed that you've never mentioned history, and wondered whether you were simply being polite.

History is another favorite of mine, and I thought it was eminently sensible of you to teach and write about it. The confounding entanglements of our social sphere are rooted in history. Culture, language, literature, worldview - you could probably understand humanity just by examining history deeply. There are so many layers, and a people don't often make sense unless we understand the historical underpinings. I'm particularly interested in Ancient History, just because I like roots, like to know what were we before and how did we get here from there.

It's a pity I can't take any more history classes, but well, there's that damned math requirement staring me in the face.

Oh, whimper, there's also a science fiction lit class I want to take next quarter. *kicks rocks* It would be stupid of me to take 20 credits when I'm also working, wouldn't it? Even if I do need 3 more credits. *kicks more rocks, which are heavy and possibly basalt or some sort of igneous rock, ancient and venerable* Given 15 credits nearly killed me this quarter? *looks hopeful*

That's a refreshing change from the reaction I usually get when I say what I do. Usually, the other person casts down his/her eyes, and mumbles something about how he/she hated the subject in high school, since the high school teacher was the reincarnation of either Prof. Binns (who has many siblings, apparently) or Prof. Snape.

A science fiction lit course? Yeah, stupid to take 20 credits while you're working. Umm, sort of a no-brainer, considering how hard it was to get through this last quarter. I'm quite sure that you possess enough self-control to refrain from enrolling in that course. *said in a reassuring tone*

unless you can take it pass/fail, and still have the credits count for the last 3 you need?
