lithron's Journal: [School] A new quarter starts.. 18 hours worth

Today is the first day of my status as a full time student. It only took a little more than a years worth of planning to pull this off, during which time I was a part time student and was able to rack up 50+ hours of a 102 hour degree (including classes I have tested out of). My parents, grandparents, and great grandparents are all quite proud of me, and I suppose I'm proud of myself too. Now I just have to pass a dozen more pesky classes and I get a fancy piece of paper with my name on it :-)

My three classes are:
SQL Programming - 4 hours of class, 6 hours of labs, but only worth 7 credit hours
Introduction to Linux/Unix - 4 hours of class, 4 hours of labs, but only worth 6 credit hours
Introduction to Humanities - 5 hours of class, worth 5 credit hours

So now I'm enrolled for 18 hours worth of classes. I know the Intro to Linux/Unix class will be a breeze. I used SCO Openserver and Redhat Linux 7 and Redhat Linux WS 3 for 5 years at the job I just left so that I could attend school full time. I'd like to think the SQL class will yield a B to me without much effort. Since I want a better GPA I'll probably bust my butt and pull off an A.

The Intro to Humanities course is a different beast altogether. I don't grok art. I appreciate it, but that is wholly different from grokking it. So my aim is for a B in this class.

Some of us were actually Liberal Arts majors

Help me? But.. but.. but your on my friends list, which means we're supposed to argue and not get along. And then my foes are supposed to come and offer help. Right?

Okay, for my^Wyour first assignment, I ask that you explain a Pollock painting in great detail to someone that has never seen one before. The best one sentance I could come up with was "it looks like fudge splattered on a canvas with whipcream drizzled on top"

After meeting the teacher I can tell that I'll do just fine in the humanities class

yay

[blinder]

get an edumacated so you can be smart like us fools who spent untold thousands of dollars on a piece of paper that essentially says, well that you spent untold thousands of dollars.

no really, its a good thing. a college education is a damn fine thing. our next big project is to get the dragon into school. she really really wants a degree, and so do i.

Durrrr.. but I get to laminate it and have a really expensive placemat when I graduate.

Good luck to teh Dragon and yourself. As my grandmother and great grandmother always say/said, you can never have too much education.
