So school has started, and it has been adventurous. I started the quarter with two terrible but necessary CS classes, Japanese, Martial Arts, and Self-Defense. This was because the plan for my major lists Calc, physics, and basic programming for this quarter of the 4-year plan. There's absolutely nothing in EET offered for me that I have the prereqs to take. So I decided to get a couple icky classes for the CS minor in instead.
Only then I discovered that there's a new CS minor for EET majors being proposed. Yes, I know what that word means. It's in the final stages of being implemented, and the head of the EET department has been working with several CS professors to get it to happen. I'm more than sure that he's got enough chutzpah* to push it all the way through by the time I graduate. The point of all this is that in this proposed minor, neither of the two icky classes are required, nor will they be. It's not even in consideration. So I dropped them and switched to Astronomy and Relativity. Because I felt like it. In hindsight I probably should have checked to see if I could even get in to calculus-based physics... but at this point it's a little too late. Well not incredibly too late, but late enough that my laziness will not see it through.
All of my professors appear to be slightly to extremely awesome. Of course the martial arts and japanese profs are extremely, self-defense is only mostly, so far, astronomy is wicked awesome in his own way, though probably not going to be the best teacher I've ever had. I'm a little unsure about the relativity chick. Partially because she's the only female prof I've had in years, and the last ones have been less than stellar. Expecially when compared to male profs with their same job. But she does appear to know her stuff, and the lecture she gave yesterday was clear and engaging. She's a little too loud and energetic for me to really *like* her, but she may be very good at her job. We'll see.
I finally have reliable internet again. It's nice to have control of it. Easier to fix when something's not working.
