spring 2010 courses continued....

Something fishy is going on with the course selection for the spring... most of the classes that I need to take arent being offered or they request that we get the instructors permission to take the class! I can understand that if it were some crazy 5000 level course, but for basic Physics II? That doesnt seem right. Since I'll be taking calculus (again) I emailed the professor for an override, and go figure, I got an email back saying that his class has a waiting list and not only that, he does no intend on letting anymore people into the class. Fine. Don't. Sad thing is, that he apparently is one of the better profs. I'm still not sure what to do about my math situation: take calc I again, or go for stat I first?

Same goes for anatomy. Apparently, they arent offering it to anyone other than pre-nursing students or students that are in the health science program. Of course, how convenient, I'm neither.

By the way, if i even knew that the health science program existed at my school, I would have done that from the get go....

In any case...I have to see about it after 9am tomorrow. If I could get in to that class, that would be great, but I'm still more interested in neuroscience..... I think I"m just flaking out for the easier course :(

On another note, my research lab today was a bit dreary... I walk in, and of course my boss is nowhere to be found... 25 min later, I find out that he's in some meeting. Thank you so much for letting me know you wont be in... After an hour of waiting I decided to leave. I guess him and I will talk it over on friday... but thank you, neuro department, for letting me borrow several of your neurology books ;) "The Synopsis of Neurology."

Spring 2010 courses

So, I've been tossing around some ideas for what I'm going to take next semester. Let me just start by saying, I'm definately going to wind up overflowing into summer because 1) my math requirement still has to be dealt with and 2) I just found out that I have one more upper division bio elective to take.

I figured this would happen, so I'm not that devastated. Here is the news with my courses: I'm dying to take neuroscience... the school didnt give me much of a choice since I have to choose from either that, forensic bio (which is not even being offered) and developmental bio (which isnt being offered either)... good thing they opened up human anatomy.. at least I have an option.

Still, I think I"m leaning toward neuroscience... not only does is sound incredibly interesting, it only makes sense because I'm doing neuro research and I can learn that much more! Too bad the professor is hard.. I hear his exams are satans work.

I'll think about it.. but so far here is the lineup:

Neuroscience or anatomy
physics II
intro to stats I
cell bio or an elective
