I need some academic advice. I'm trying to recompile my class schedule for next year in a way that will make me happy, and there are many ways to do this. Here are things I am most definitely doing ( Read more... )

So, just thought I'd let you know your 280 situation.

I graded the final; you got a 90% after the curve. 90%!!

1. I just registered for classes, even though my time technically started on Monday. It was nice for once to not have to worry about logging into Presto exactly at 9AM (since all of my classes I was either already consented for, or are in the Computer Science department). Though, I still have to decide really soon whether or not I want to take ( Read more... )

So, all you Obies might think I'm crazy for thinking about this so early, but I'm already planning my schedule for next semester ( Read more... )

I should really be doing some of my class reading in the 20 minutes I have before I need to get on the train to Sonus rehearsal, but...idonwanna. And I did some cool stuff today that I want to share ( Read more... )
