"One of these things, is not like the other things, one of these things just doesn't belong..."

I have just finished my two first days of classes for spring semester, and boy does it look like a crazy semester.

CLASSES....

MWF
9:05am Living Issues--required core class, relating to ethics and morality. This one should be no problem, and I'm looking forward to it. Severson's a good professor, and a couple of my friends are in the course.

11:30am Theology II. That's right, I'm in Theology II. Have I ever taken Theology I? Nope. Am I a religion major? Нет. (pronounced NYET, which is no in Russian). Am I looking at going into "the ministry"? Not exactly...though I'm not closing off the possibility.

That's where the title of this blog comes in: "One of these things is not like the other things, one of these things just doesn't belong, can you guess which thing is not like the other things, before I finish my song?" (old Sesame Street song)

I signed up for the course because I am attempting to have a religion minor (which, as it turns out, I won't finish) as a way to fill out my schedule for this year. I thought the course was an independent course, but it isn't quite that way. I think there's an article that the prof will give me from last semester, so I'm not terribly lost.

12:50pm Trigonometry. No problem here--in fact, it'll be a break after Theology II. Nadine's in this class, along with some more of my friends.

T/Th:
11am Differential Equations. So far so good. I just have to get used to Hammerstrom's way of teaching, as opposed to Lovett's. Plus, I haven't done any sort of calculus in a year, nor have I had Hammerstrom in a year.

4pm (Th). Developing Reading Skills in the Content Area. Andrew and I are the only undergrads in this course, but it's with Fiacco, so it won't be bad.

6pm (Tu until 2/19). Educ Assessment. I'll be glad when this 5-week sprint of a course is done! Whew! Lots of work to do in a small space of time. After this date, I'll be back down to 15 credits, and how nice that will be. :)

JOBS....
3 hours a week in CAS, editing papers, helping with math, and working on the stats.
2 hours a week tutoring students at Atlantic Middle.
2 hours a week tutoring a student in the library.
Babysitting as needed.
