Registration complete

It's that time of the semester. Registration for the next semester is upon us. Not only for spring semester, but also for J-term. For those of you who may not know, J-Term is a mini semester during the month of January where one takes only one class, but has it every day of the school week. A lot of students also take this opportunity to study abroad. It's a nice way of getting out of here, but for a shorter period of time. However, all first years are required to do a first year seminar. Some of you rebellious punks out there might find this an infringement on your personal rights and freedoms, but I just want to tell you, most of the seminars that are specifically for first years are better than the other courses offered to other students. Do not fear, they are very cool classes. For example, I am going to take a class called "Experimental Archaeology." It may sound boring, but I talked with the prof. and he said that it will consist mainly of researching tools and weapons of ancient cultures, and recreating those utensils and seeing if and how they function. Not too shabby.

It is always nice to have a little change of pace, so I am really looking forward to the switch of the schedule. It can get dull having the same schedule every week, so the transition is welcomed by most students.

Another note for you prospective students out there; take as many college level courses as you can while in high school. It is very convenient in registration because those with credits are automatically put in the front of the line. That is a good thing, kiddies. Classes fill up fast and you want to get ahead in any way you can. Not only that, but it can also save you money, and the material is more interesting most of the time. That is my advice, do with it what you will.

Other than that, most things are pretty much the same as always. Students and professors 

are gearing up for Thanksgiving break, which will be nice. We are all hacking away at the homework and the teachers never cease assigning more. 

I will have some fun stuff in the future for you all. I may be getting a camera so I can give you some snapshots of my life, including where I live and the goofy Swedish kid who I call my roomate. You will get to meet him better; it's a good thing. So, be waiting for that. But until then, I say farewell, and have a wonderful week.

 

Peace,

Collin
