I heart being a James Scholar. Being able to register for classes 2 weeks before everybody else? Yeah, that's pretty much awesome.
CHLH 250 - Health Care Systems
CHLH 260 - Intro to Medical Ethics
CHLH 274 - Intro to Epidemiology
MCB 150 - Intro to End of My Life, take 2. (I started taking this course this semester, and I truly did like it.... But I decided 23 hours was a bad idea 3 weeks into the semester, so I dropped this course because I hadn't taken any tests in it yet....)
RUSS 301 - Power Hour with the Ruskis, Volume 3.
Marching Illini??
I'm annoyed that Russian 3 is only 3 credit hours, yet Russian 2 is 4 credit hours. Go figs. But I can deal with not having 9AM classes, 12PM classes, and if I'm not in MI, no classes after 3. And not having class til 11 and being done at 2 on Fridays. This will only be 16 (or 17?) hours.... And over half my schedule is community health nonsense, so this will be a very decent semester. I'm getting a lot of stuff out of the way.
Oh, and here's my summer schedule.
FSHN 120 - Intro to What We Really Should be Putting into our Pieholes, but Don't Ever Do Anyways. (ie Nutrition Fun)
CHLH 243 - Drug Use and Abuse (super creative name, props to the U of I, cuz I didn't even come up with that one)
CHEM 105 - Chem lab. Woot.
And online sex course at P-land. PSYCH 106, I think.
And I have been going to lots of church this week. It's actually really, really nice. I feel better when I go. Since it's Holy Week, there are like 30 services every day. Well, not really, more like 3. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday have like 5 services each day. Well, I'm just going to one a day and quite frankly, that's fine. And I'm even picking up some Greek along the way. People, I can say from experience.... It is SO MUCH BETTER when you have a boyfriend (or to the like 2 straight guys that read this.... girlfriend....) that has the same religious beliefs that you do. It might even be pretty good if you don't have the same beliefs but both of you are extremely supportive of one another's beliefs. Since Tasos is Orthodox (very much so, at that), and since I'm still kinda new to it, it's so nice to go to church with someone who isn't rolling their eyes at everything or constantly checking their watch. Is church the most fun thing in the world? No, not so much. But I do feel a lot better after I go, and I feel a whole lot more... eh... connected? with Tasos. The thing that is the most important to both of us - our faith and relationship with God - is the same, so we always have common ground when it comes to making decisions (from little tiny silly ones to the bigger, more complicated stuff). Haha, but we're no saints, don't get me wrong. :-P So, moral of the story -- if you are considering being serious with someone (as in, above the occasional going out/making out every once in a while stuff), definitely be with someone who has the same basic morals and standards that you have, and try to have the same [major] religious beliefs, if applicable. Yet agreeing on every detail is overrated.
And that's all I have to say.
