Particulars: The course will include lectures, discussion, and oral reports by students. Each student will be responsible for at least one report that will be presented both orally and in writing. Grades will be based on the quality of these reports and the magnitude and enthusiasm of participation in discussions.

MUD!!!!! CLAY!!!!! DIRT!!!!111oneoneeleven
and ANT 495BWR: Honors Research II makes 20 credits.
mum wants me to take a business-type class but i really would rather not... plus there really isn't a course which teaches you what to do with money or taxes or investing or stuff like that, they're all economics-type things (blech) or financial markets (urgh).
i propose a course, "Money: What To Do With It When You Make It".
no classes on wednesday and friday! but i do have to go to work.
monday classes start at 2:00pm! but go on until 8:00pm.
should be a lot of fun.
in a surprisingly good mood,
