Aug. 20th, 2007 06:00 pmI got into the physiology class. Yay! So now I'm registered for psychology MTW morning, physiology MW mornings and afternoons, US history on "TV" (broadcast online), and nutrition online starting in October.
Someone scared the heck out of me, saying the lab book cost $80, when it actually cost $7. Little bit of difference there, you think?
There are two other people in the 24 person class with the same birthday as me (with that day being the day before class started). How odd.
The teacher seems good and experienced and enthusiastic, and not just in the overly-caffinated way. And she flat-out said that she thought the rate they put out books was criminal, especially since they didn't make any real changes, and that we're more than welcome to use any of the previous two editions, which means I can pay $5 for it. And she let me in the class despite less-than-official (and possibly inadequate) prerequisites. So I can't help but like her.
Everyone who wanted into the physiology class got in (in the two lab sections attached to my lecture, that is). That's very unusual - apparently she usually turns 10-15 people away per class. The people at registration were surprised, too. Hopefully that trend continues in the science courses and extends into the nursing program (all but one person in my lab section were pre-RN, so it's a reaonable barometer).
So my only real worry now is that my psychology class will give me trouble, as I didn't attend the first class (I didn't actually expect to get into physiology, so I hadn't seriously considered what I'd do if I needed to change psych sections).
The history class has a dress code for the in-person classes - the syllabus says, ""Tank tops", "muscle shirts", tube tops, halter tops, swim wear, and sleep wear are not acceptable attire for either men or women in my classroom."
I think I'll just have to break that. Nothing like breaking utterly irrelevant rules when there's no chance whatsoever of being caught at it. I'm so immature.
