Ugh... what a day. Not because anything big happened (I aced my skit without Scott being there. He dropped the class and we're still getting along. Whatever) but because I ended up getting a very nasty stomachache (anxiety attack + lack of sleep + waffles/bad milk? = sick Mer) while at work. Thankfully, two bathroom runs of about 15 mins. each was enough to get K and P to send me home. ^^; Yay. I ended up drinking some water, taking some pills Grandpa gave me, and by 6:45 when Grandpa and I had to leave for the Northridge West Neighborhood Council Meeting (which I'm reporting on for Story 1 in WRPII/Reporting for the Gov't), I was feeling a bit better. I survived off mints, and now I just polished off a rather nummy PB&J.
Anyway, I decided to find out what classes I have to take for my GE, before I can be considered upper-division. It's possible to go through your whole college career without ever being upper-division, if you take some of your GEs every year, rather than finishing them in your first few years. Well, I can handle 15 units pretty well, and I think 17 or 18 is my unit cap (with my current GPA), but here's the lo-down:
* for B1 (Sciences) - I have to take BIOL 100/L (4 units)
* for B (general) - BIO 220 (2) - Natural Ecology (I think)
... this will bring my total amount of units in the "B" sciences category to 9 units, the required minimum. I already have 3 units from Astronomy last semester.
* for C3 (Humanities) - WS 360 (3) - Feminist Ethics
* for D (Geography) - WS 320 (3) - Women & Urban Life OR GEOG 330 (3) - California Geography (with the same hawt teacher I had in freshman semester!)
* for F1 (Comparative Cultural Studies) - FLIT 150 (3) - Gateways to Western Civilization: Greece & Rome
* for F2, minor, and study abroad pre-req - FLIT 370 (3) - Modern Japanese Culture
As you can see, this brings the total to 18, without ANY units for my major (Journalism) and only ONE for my minor (Japanese Culture)... and I'm not even sure if you can have something count BOTH for your GE and your minor. I still have credit from the Japanese 1A I took at CCSF to count for F4 (which is a "null" category, where all the sub classes count for either F2 or F3), and the Japanese class I'm taking now (for my minor pre-req) could theoretically count for whatever 1A doesn't fill. Thus, FLIT 370 can be exclusive to my minor, if it works out that way.
What I want to do is take some Winter 05-06 courses, or possibly some Summer 06 classes, so that when Fall 06 starts, I have all my GEs out of the way and I'm eligible for Study Abroad. But all my confusing questions will be answered at the workshop in October, so... ^_^ yeah. Still, I wonder how to decide what to take next semester, and what to save for Winter or Summer? I guess I have to wait until the Winter catalog comes out. :P
( My entire college future plotted out. )
Coming Soon: WDKY17 review replies, more![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
betasquad phpBB and website/forum information, and an overdue 30kisses entry or three (heh, the rule about the one month deadline doesn't apply to me because I own the community! :P NYAAAH! Maybe I should extend it to "first submission within 2 months, and at least 1 submission a month from there on out"...?). Anything else I'm forgetting? Icons, of course. I can't wait for the weekend.
