spring 08!

Enrollment for the next semester started this Monday.

I decided to cut my Christmas break short to take an intersession course.  This will help me a bit.  I’ll be taking two coding courses, one of which is a major time consuming beast — operating systems.   There are not a lot of classes to select from for the intersession, but I found one, “Social Construction of Serial Murder.”  It sounds interesting, and If for some reason in the future I have a crazy co-worker, god forbid, I can tell… and run away. Kidding. ;)

Other than that, the regular session will consist of 12 hours:

  • Enterprise Information Systems (A Database course, with a funky name)
  • Operating Systems I (You could imagine how time consuming this will be)
  • Business Strategy
  • Intro to Operation Management

So, I’m buffering the first two with Management courses.  If for some reason I do have spare time, I can work on an independent project.  I also might take a 3d course at the game institute.

I ended up getting a scholarship this year for being in Iraq.  So it looks like my military service paid for 4 years of school.  Nice, eh?  I knew all of that pain/sacrifice was worth going through…

    Congratulations on the scholarship. I definitely wish I had a few more of those lying around. :)

    And good luck with Operating Systems. I’ll be taking it in next term (or two?), but I’ve heard nothing but tales of woe and agony on all of the late nights people have spent trying to get all of the assignments done. I’m sure it will be just as much of a huge time sink at your uni as with mine. *gulp*

    Haha! Yeah, it’s one of those “Hate me now, Love me later,” type classes. Everybody that I have spoke too has said that it is a nightmare. But, they also backed that up by saying how much they got out of the class… Which is always good. So, I decided to take it.
