The reason you're flying around like that has to do with finding room for the classes, and it just *happens* that the ones you're in are on opposite ends of the campus. LIke me wanting to take ASL II next semester, but it's at the same time as my zoo rotation. They moved the time of my rotation, the dinks! You'd think they'd do it at the beginning of the year, but nooooo...anyway, all they worry about is making sure you can get in all yoru core classes. OTher than that...tough cookies!

C'est la vie...

Not when there is one and only one class session being offered, or the only session of a required class you can fit in is at a time when getting to that class is going to be a royal pain to make work. Only in majors like Lib Arts, and other equally nebulous and flexible programs, can you pretty much choose whatever you want.

Yeah, it's nice when all your classes for a particular subject are in one area. And what really rocks is when you have the same core group of profs for the whole duration. I had that in tech school, and we were like a family when we got done. It was great. And when we were in the vet sci building all day, there was a lounge downstairs we'd hang in, or we'd congregate in the comptuer room. Most cool. And it's even cooler now, where I am. All the profs are on a first-name basis with the students, and we just joke around and have fun. One of the profs is new. He wants us to call him by his first name everywhere but out 'on site' (aka zoo grounds), and since no one wants to risk calling him by his first name on grouds, we all use his formal name. Ah, well. But he's most cool and we all love him, and Friday the second year students (of which I am one) are going to throw him a surprise party, complete with gag gifts and enough junk food to put the resident diabetic into a coma. And he says he doesn't feel like we've accepted him...lol. We didnt' do this much last year for the guy who just retired! I was put in charge of some of the gag gifts, and since this guy is from Canada (eh?), and tells really bad jokes, I got him a book on 1031 things that are great about America (tongue in cheek humor) and a book of good jokes for all occasions, so he can have something GOOD to tell, instead of "What's a Canadian's favorite vitamin? Vitamin 'eh'." Yeah, we groaned, too. Or this one: "Do you all have a nursery rhyme about a weasel down here?" We all say we do, and sing part of 'Pop goes the weasel'. He says, "Oh, up in Canada, we call it 'Pop goes the Quiz'." *he pulls out a ten question quiz* So...yeah. He needs some new humor.

It is. And he's so incredibly *sly* about letting that stuff loose on us. He's like, "Hey, did you guys hear about...?" It's so bad, you just laugh. He's really cool. And he's only 27 (or will be Thursday).

I know...it's just terrible! Especially if you hate exercise of any kind like I do!

The need to a) loose weight and b) increase my upper body strength has driven me into the fitness center. Keeping it up, though...that's another story. The only kind of fitness I like is walking up the steps to the library and then lifting books off the shelf. lol Or turning the pages when I read at night.

I'm with Cory. Too lazy to do anything else - no, wait! I take the stairs when exting the underground instead of the elevator.

Here's a story for you people:
I like ditched every single class this week because I suddenly fell into winter mode and was too tired to go. Yesterday, I made an effort, dragged myself to campus, get there and what do I find? A nice, clean, totally 100% EMPTY classroom when there should be at least 10 people in it by the time I got there. So I start wondering where they possibly could be, and then it hits me: the prof had announced I dunno HOW MANY TIMES that this week class would start at 7 pm (get that, 7pm, man!) instead of at 5.30pm, and I so had forgotten. Granted, one of my friends could have called me, but no, they called AFTERWARDS when I was long home again cause I was so pissed I had dragged myself there and nothing that I returned straight home again!

I should probably run for "most hard working student", what do you think? Perhaps "most brainless student" would be better though...

I'm with Cory and Stalker too! I used to be all 3 hours a day every day exercising my life away and then I got old and lazy and I just sit and watch everyone else work their ass off. Off course the payoff is not as great but I do get sleep more now.

Yeah, well we are talking like almost 10 years ago. You know back in highschool. I was on the dance team and colorguard and practices everyday after school sucked. Running around a track, hundreds of situps, and on and on.. usually 2 hours worth. Plus the hour during the class that day and then like on Fridays or Sat. game nights even more. I'm still not sure how the hell I did all that. Of course I'm still wondering where the hell all that energy went too? Because I'm usually worn out by noon nowadays.
