So, based on the first week of classes, this is about how I figure that each of my classes is going to go:
CE En 321, Structural Analysis: This class is going to be a whole lot of fun and yet very challenging at the same time. Thus far I've enjoyed the review of statics and look forward to learning four other methods for analyzing structures. As already stated this class has been mostly review thus far and will continue to be through the first test... then the real challenge begins.
CE En 305A, Metals, Woods, and Composites: This class would be pretty awesome if it wasn't taught by the man to whom I loving refer as "Dr. Dumb@$$". He surely knows his stuff about metals, woods, and composites, but not ordering the textbook until 3 days before class starts, not giving us a syllabus, and not organizing the homework... pretty much at all has led to the title that has become infamous in my own mind.
CE En 305B, Aggregates: This will be class 1 of 2 in my major that deals entirely with concrete. It doesn't start until the second block of the semester, October 21st, so I'll make more commentary when that time comes.
CE En 562, Traffic Engineering: After taking CE En 461, Geometric Highway Design in the spring from Dr. Saito, I pretty much know what to expect from his classes. I hope that this class will really take me beyond the basics of transportation engineering and really get into the core principles and "deep doctrine" if you will of what kind of problems transportation engineers solve daily.
Bio 100, Principles of Biology: All I can say is "hahahahahahahahahahaha" XD This class is a freakin' joke. On Wednesday, we spent the whole class watching a movie. I haven't watched a movie in class since my freakin' junior year of high school. And the best part is that there was nothing due afterward! I freakin' love n00b classes!!!
Rel C 234, LDS Marriage and Family: In the first week of this class I've found that it's about much more than getting you hitched to the first random woman you find on campus. In the now immortal words of my father, "William, I'm glad that you're taking that class, because you certainly didn't learn anything about healthy or effective relationships living in our home!"
Bus M 380, Executive Lectures: As the name implies, there will be big corporate executives that come and give us lectures about business and such. Thus far, I suppose that this course will give me valuable insights into my new-found career aspiration of becoming a CEO. ;)
CE En 300A, Stupid Seminar: Same stupid thing on the same stupid day, at the same stupid time, with the same stupid rules and requirements, and the same stupid people who really don't want to be there... Why? Because it's STUPID!!! PS-I am the king of the comma splice. :D
All in all, I think this semester is going to be good fun. There will surely be some challenging times. Structures tests, staying up until 3am to finish 305 lab reports, passing out in Bio because I'm just not used to 7 women all sitting next to me while wearing half a gallon of perfume... but I think that, in the end, I will be content with my courses for this semester. :)
So funny! ^_^
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your semester; i doubt you'll need too much of it, though.
