In which we discuss spring, classes, and a nice restaurant
75 % of the school year down.
Since coming back here, it has been sunny, I have not worn my coat once, and the air and light just say "spring!"
Students can be seen throwing frisbees, studying and relaxing outdoors, and being generally picturesque and campus advertisement worthy.
Anyway, with this much of the year gone, I had an advisor meeting about next year. Erin says hi.
I'm not as far along in my requirements and classes that I should be aiming to take as I want to be, and Bio in particular is just in the way at this point. Taking a substitute class over the summer would probably help.
So looking at the 5 colleges:
This class is a 4 credits Bio I class with a lab, which I'm fairly sure are the only requirements for a substitute bio class.
Amherst and Hampshire Colleges don't seem to offer summer classes in bio, Mount Holyoke might but their site layout is unhelpful. I can't find anything about summer classes in their course listings or calendar, but they mention the existence of summer classes in other parts of the site. Smith doesn't seem to have summer classes, only interterm classes (useless here). General course search on the 5 Colleges site turns up nothing, too.
Japanese is still a big question mark, the school might try to arrange something for language students, it might not. I'm to fill out a Japanese minor request form as a "just in case"; also if they want to keep track of students who still are interested in language classes. Also, study abroad is still murky.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Two of Andrea's friends from home were visiting her this weekend, and they both were easy to get along with and seemed right at home with our group. One was lively, one was quiet.
We went to get lunch/dinner/food yesterday, only to find the place we planned on going to was closed on Sundays.
However
the owner or someone happened to be there, noticed us and actually opened just for us. As everyone pointed out, it was a large group of us and as he was there it was actually quite practical for him to do so, but it still struck me as very-- kind? Old-fashioned? Anyhow. It made an impression.
