Journal WillAffleckUW's Journal: Sigh, got a D in Physics (electromagnetics) 2
Object lesson. When working in a professional job, don't take two hard courses at the same time. In getting ready for a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering (already have a post-grad DRM), have been taking engineering core courses, and this semester I took Environmental Science 160 and Physics 222. Got a 3.8 in ENVS and a 1.0 in PHYS. Sigh.
Have heard a lot of people have problems with this class, so am just going to retake it, NOT take the 2 3.5 hour classes a week that exhaust me and leave me no time to do homework before it's due, NOT do it without a new laptop, and take the version that is 4-5 classes a week during the day, so that I'm not exhausted.
Wish me luck.
Good luck, Will! (Score:2)
That was quite a load you took, good job pulling out the grade on enviro.

Thought I was going to manage a 4.0 for Enviro, though. Anyway, I'm waitlisted position 2 for Physics (Engineering and Scientific): Electromagnetics. Should get in. Figure a laptop and a reasonable non-tiring classtime will help, plus no hour long bus ride to/from, as it's only a 30 minute trip using the new UW Husky Station and the 44 or 48 all end at the station, which has an exit right next to the class building. Trip home should be shorter at 6 pm (at 9:30 it can involve some long waits).
Bummer.
