There is a God!
Today was the first testiment of my current school schedule and I can say its going to be a much better semester, compared to last semester. My 4999 independent study class is shared with David West, a guy I met last semester who was in all 3 of my computer science classes. He and I where in the same group in all 3 classes and we worked extremely well together. He shared the same sintement that that semester was a nightmare with 2 classes taught by Don Kraft where we had homework for "databases" and programming assignments for "Programming Langauges" every other week, then a Research Paper for both classes on top of that, a Final Project for both Classes, and a Midterm + Final in both classes, and this is excluding the third CSC class we had. He gave me a look of utter terror when I told him I had taken 6 classes that semester including those two classes and could not belive it. But this was not the only person who shared my sentement, a guy from my Numerical Methods class had actually droped Krafts class because of the volumus insanity of work he wanted.
This semester my Numerical Methods class has gone from programming assignments ever other week to a total of only 4 programming assignments total this semester and the instructor has promised they will be rediculously easy stating that it should only take 200 lines of C code to do.
My independent study class Dr. Branton has removed the Final Project (yippy) and the Research paper (WoHO!) Replaced by 3 three page essays on various topics, much better, and a journal.
I will most likely be removing my Anthropology minor as it requires 2 Anthro labs which if I want to graduate I will have to ditch. So it will just be a concentration. I have found that the American Folklore class is more trouble than I think its worth so I'm looking at exchanging it for a nother 4000 level class called Gender/Place/Culture which is already right up my ally as the perspective cultures have on Gender is so diverse, more diverse than most americans think and much more intresting than most americans think. What we often fail to realize is that understanding such a topic gives great insite into your own culture a sad flaw I see in most americans, the disintrest in understanding your own culture and other cultures around you.
