"You call this archaeology?"

So I figured, while I'm thinking about and am logged into Blackboard, that I'd post my schedule for the coming semester now. Because you guys know I know you all are DYING to see what classes I'm taking! XP


Monday

MAC1105-60 - College Algebra (Recitation): 3:35 - 4:25 PM

Tuesday/Thursday

MAC1105-60 - College Algebra: 11:00AM - 12:15 PM

REL3936-01 - Religion & Fantasy Lit.: 12:30 - 1:45 PM

ANT2138-01 - World's Greatest Shipwrecks: 2:00 - 3:15 PM

ARH2090-01 - Great Discoveries in Archaeology: 3:35 - 4:50 PM

AMH2020-04 - History of U.S.: 5:15 - 6:30 PM


As you can see, I pretty much have no time in between classes to do much of anything, but I can't afford to drop any classes b/c if I keep up with just 13 hours a semester, I'll never graduate in time. And I can't take sign up for any Monday/Wednesday/Friday classes right now b/c first day attendance is mandatory and I won't be able to attend that first Monday (since I'll be on my way back from Chicago). I'm actually liking the set up...will keep me focused. It also means I'll have to start bringing food with me (snacks at least) on Tuesdays/Thursdays since I won't have time to stop anywhere in between.


In other school related news, have received this email a few times from the school regarding the Anthropology department and the budget (they have apologized to all who will be receiving it multiple times, but are sending it out at certain times during the registration period):

Rationale
As a consequence of the University’s recent budget reduction, the Department of Anthropology is part of a restructuring taking place within the College of Arts and Sciences. Because the University’s budget situation has not yet stabilized, the Administration has decided to suspend access to the existing degree programs for one year.

Consequences for Undergraduate Students
We anticipate that students at the junior and senior levels will have up to two years to complete their degree requirements, independent of the specific changes that result from restructuring.  In other words, our intention is to provide the upper-level course offerings for the next two years.  Students should not assume that upper-level Anthropology courses would be available as options after two years.  Recent entries into the Anthropology major should plan accordingly.


So I'm pretty much safe at the moment...there's only like two more specifically required classes I need to take, and a few more elective credits I need in my Anthropology area. I just need to make sure I keep going with at least one Anthro. class a semester...though it would be safer to do two. But I'll work it out. As long as I can complete my degree, I'm pretty satisfied!


Alrighty, now that I have officially bored you with this school stuff, I am going to go restart my Tudors rewatch...and then possibly read more of the Burn Notice novel. XD

"Seduce me."

Not much to post on today...all I did was work in the box and restart my Tudors marathon as I mentioned in my earlier post. I did get all the way through the first disk, so it was a successful restart. I'm tempted to watch Ep.4 now for the mere awesomepops that are Charles and Margaret in the episode, but I really don't know if I'd be able to stay focused on the whole thing. I am pretty tired and have a headache trying to break lose.

But I did want to mention I got my Dragon*Con booklet thing in the mail today! XD I figured since everyone seemed to be getting theirs at the end of last week/over the weekend, that I'd get mine today. And I did...So I'm glad. It was funny...I went inside to use the bathroom today, and after I finished doing that I walked up to Madre at the counter and went "Guess who's gonna be at Dragon*Con??" She said "I don't care." And I grinned and replied. "Michael Biehn." Her face changed completely and I pointed and went "Knew you would care." And then proceeded to walk out. Score one for me!

In completely unrelated but need to know kitteh news, Sikozu has learned that giving kisses = lots of extra loving. Makes me wonder if Lil' Bit was indeed her daddy b/c he's the only other kitteh I know that would give kisses like she's started doing. You tell her 'kiss' a few times and she'll press her nose to your lips. It's so sweet and cute, and now she's starting to do it unprovoked. Kinda think she expects ME to give them back when she wants them. *huggles kitteh* I loves my Sputnik!

Alrighty, that's all I've got for now. Hoping to find a fic or two to read (cause the Tudors ep is definitely looking less and less likely!)...if not, it's definitely bedness for me.
