I am a Bum..

OK I have not posted in a while, my bad.

Summer II ended and I made it out with an A in my History course and a B in Statistics.

Now the Fall semester has started and I am taking 13 hours. Not a huge load but with me working full time and hanging out with the family - not to mention picking up the occasional extra shift - my time has become a precious commoditiy.

Well this semester I am taking the following courses:

Spanish 1 (3 hours)
English Hisotry 1603-1800 (3 hours)
Classical Greek History (3 hours)
African History (3 hours)
Career and Life Planning (Web) (1 hour)

Now on the first day of class which was last Tuesday, we were informed that there were no History Professors at the University because they all quit! Thats three of my classes!

Thank god there were some Seniors who needed the classes to graduate so they did not get canceled. MOst of them only have like 8 people in them so that should be cool. They did hire a new History Professor last Thursday and he/she is supposed to start on Tuesday I heard. Lets keep our fingers crossed on that one.

So my Spanish instructor gave us homework on Thursday that consisted of 25 sentences from Chapter 8. We had to break each word in the sentence down into syllables and underline the where the stress goes. It took me forever to do that - I kept doing it wrong..lol.

English History should be an experience. The instructor they put in there is unique - its the nicest way I can put it! No assignments yet but he keeps repeating that everything he says in class is testable, I hope that doesn't mean the roll call.

Classical Greek History is a void right now. The two times we have meet so far there has been no instructor. The new Professor is supposed to be taking it over so I have high hopes for tomorrow.

African History looks like it will be really interesting as the instructor is from Nigeria. So far we haven't gotten into the material, we have mainly talked about his growing up in Nigeria and the things he experienced. Its an interesting class so far I hope it lives up to my expectations.

The Career and Life Planning class is a joke. I am taking it online so I am hoping that will make it better but I see no reason why I should have to take it when I have a career, a retirement plan, a college saving account thingy for my son, and I have been married for 10 years. I mean HELLO - this class is a waste of my time and my money!!!

But you have to take it in order to graduate. One more way the university is screwing over thier students who do not fit into the mold of a traditional student - In My Honest Opinion.

Anyway, thats it for now.

As always I remain...
