NEXT SEMESTER CLASSES

[Hippopo]

I knew those existed, but classes about a single work of literature have always still been somewhat of a myth to me.

Weren't you a literature major once upon a time?

[??????]

That looks AWESUM.

Also, whats your major and how are you taking so many classes

CLEP exams can only replace introductory courses
say if you want to take Child Psych but the prerequisite is Psychology 101--a CLEP course would immediately remove that basic course and grant you Child Psych. The school would count it as an actual course and give you the credits, and it's cheap as well.

I'm poor as fuck and if I take as many of these courses as possible, I'd save time and money (FAFSA grants me a shitload so I'd rack up the leftover dough I haven't used and spend it on weird shit)
I'm undeclared for my major now--I'm either thinking in majoring in biomedical science or biology and transfer to a medical school and magically end up as a pathologist or become a psychoneuroimmunologist.

I was a CEGEP student once upon a time.

Still am actually, just in another field.

I see.

I was a biology major until a few weeks ago, when I realized I can't do basic math and simply cannot comprehend chemistry for shit, therefore cannot possibly succeed in half the required premed classes or on the MCAT, and the medical field is pretty much the only thing worth doing after getting an undergrad biology degree.

So I'm poli sci now. I wanna go to grad school for international relations. Maybe I can get a job in Sweden and fuck all the sexy swedes.

rotfl for some reason i can stand chemistry, but not math or physics
hopefully nothing goes beyond calculus I or i'm fucked

Usually you just have to go up to calc 1. And maybe a statistics class.

But yea, halfway through the semester I decided I couldn't handle one more chem class, or one more 2 hour laboratory. So I switched.

That's another thing I can't handle, labs.

i remember the labs i did were weird as fuck and half the time i didn't know what the fuck i was doing and kept asking 39248934 questions because i was worried that i'd misinterpret some vague instruction

i don't mind statistics really, they say it's a very easy course~
but what do i know i see mathematics in a negative light

Exactly what I do, especially in chem lab. I feel like I can't even figure out how to do the most simple things and I pretty much ask my instructor through the entire procedure.

Not to mention my partner is fucking useless and usually hungover (i have lab thursday afternoon, how does that even work?).

Guys, I realized I don't want to be an architect.

I am interested in so many things relating to the field, but I'm realizing that I would probably be pretty unhappy in actual architectural practice.

I think I would rather do urban planning or development as a career.

It is a good thing I had over a semester's worth of AP credit, because I can probably still finish in 4 years, I think.

Help advise me, these are my options:

1. Stay in B. Arch here at IIT. 5 years.

2. Switch to Stuart School of Business, still at IIT, B.S. in Business Administration, minor in Architecture. 4 years.

3. Switch to Stuart School of Business, still at IIT, B.S. in Business Administration & Applied Sciences, specialization in Construction Management, minor in Architecture. 4 years. (but I don't want to take shitty bio, chem, and upper level calc, dur)

4. Switch to Social Science department, still at IIT, B.S. in Political Science, specialization in Urban Affairs, minor in Architecture. 4 years. (but isn't PS a bullshit degree?)

5. There is a strange B.S. Politcal Science/M.S. Public Affairs program here. I think it would be 5 years.

6. Transfer to UIC, B.A. in Urban Planning & Public Affairs. Would probably take an extra semester.

7. Transfer to the U of M, B.S. in Urban Studies. Would probably take an extra semester, maybe even 2.

I think #3 is probably the best option, but I really don't want to take hard calc and bio and chem and such.

What does Boyah think?

[Nyerp]

listen to ur heart

[ME##]

listen to ur heart

my heart tells me that i'm not good enough for collage and shouldn't try

Those all sound so similar I don't see how you could go wrong.

Personally I think # 2 sounds most appealing.

Only dummies like me major in PS, don't do that. Also, don't do #3 if you really cant stand those other classes and your other options are so similar.

My dad thinks I should stick with architecture.

His reasons:

1. Undergraduate business degrees are relatively worthless IRL.

2. Most successful developers start with a technical degree.

3. Analytical skills taught in engineering and related fields are a lot harder to learn on your own than principles of business.


I just don't know.

you made feel scurred

also only statistics is required in my major
unfortunately i have to take two courses of physics  (never again with magnetism)
maybe i should change and go into psycho-rehabilitation

[strongbad]

Got everything I wanted
With the exception of social dance, which I guess PE majors have priority for and I can't sign up for until phase 2. Bullshit.
