brinshannaraWill someone please explain to me how it's possible for my winter break to be over already? Please?
I did manage to discover that yes, I am in my Anthro class, so I can finally get that requirement out of the way. Oddly enough, I am nearly done with all my required courses for an honours degree. (I need to apply to the honours program now that I've completed 48 out of my 108 [ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT] credits.)
Check it out, these are the requirements for 60 credits to get a BA Honours in Sociology.
3 / SOCI 203 -- This was Introduction to Sociology. I was exempt from this thanks to CEGEP Sociology. I took Sociology of Cyberspace to make up for it. And I got an A.
6 / SOCI 212, 213 -- These were Stats I and II. I got a B+ and a B.
3 / 200-level ANTH credits -- This is my Anthro, Race and Ethnic Relations, that I just confirmed I am registered for.
6 / SOCI 300 -- This was Classical Social Theory. I got an A-.
6 / SOCI 310 -- This was Research Methods. I got an A.
6 / SOCI 402, 403 -- These are Contemporary Social and Contemporary Cultural Theory. I got a B+ and am taking the 403 this semester.
6 / SOCI 409 -- This would be my thesis. Next year. Let's not think about it too much, shall we?
6 / Chosen from SOCI 410, 415 -- I'm taking 410, which is Research Design and Analysis, as opposed to 415, which is Field Research.
18 / SOCI elective credits (maximum of six credits at the 200 level) -- I've taken six credits at the 200 level (Social Problems and Social Deviance) and got an A- in them both. That leaves me with 12 credits (about four classes) to take at the 300/400 level.
So, after this semester, I'll have done 63 credits out of 108. So I'll have my thesis (6 credits) and four classes (12 credits) to take before I'm done with the BA Honours requirements. Then, I just need to do one more General Education class (3 credits). That's 84 credits... And that leaves me with 24 credits left, which is 8 classes. Two of those will be done during my thesis year, leaving me six classes to do. Hm.
If I do one course this summer and one course next summer, I will be all done by December of 2007. Wow. Four years to do a three year degree, because of these pesky 18 other credits I have to do because I'm a mature student. I wonder if I should continue in Italian to get a minor. Gah. THIRTY CREDITS in Italian?? I'm not even halfway done through Italian, if that's the case. (I'll have 12 by the end of April/May.) And, hahaha, all courses after the one I'm taking now will be conducted in Italian. As in, the translation courses, the advanced grammar courses... Yeah, maybe I won't do a minor in Italian after all...
Okay, enough ranting. I need to go get ready to go to school. I think my biggest concern right now is... should I bring my laptop or not? On the one hand, I'm not going to be taking notes in any class, except possibly Research Design, but that takes place in a lab, and there are computers there anyways. On the other, my first two classes (Anthro and Italian) will probably last all of a half an hour each, so I may as well bring my computer so I can amuse myself in between classes.
Okay, yeah, bringing the computer.
I am REMARKABLY boring. I apologize. :)
Have a lovely day, peoples.
