Planned Spring 2011 Semester

This is what the Spring 2011 semester for me looks like so far from my planning. Things may change a little if certain things don’t work out, but this looks to be pretty stable.  ART 114 is currently standing in for my elective course for the semester. Introduction to SPSS [SOCI333] An introduction to the […]

Resolution to SOCI 210 Problem

Instructor for one of the required courses, SOCI 350, has granted a permit Dr. Miller and the registrar at Gaston have worked out the issue and the grade will post early Dr. Ankrah (Sociology chair at FSU) has revised his position. A permit may be granted as soon as evidence of a grade of C […]

An Update on SOCI 210

The registrar at Gaston (Dellinger) responded to my e-mail about what Dr. Miller said (“The instructor says you won’t let him post my grade early”), asking for who the instructor is (you know, cause looking me up in the system to find the course and instructor would be hard cause of my common last name) […]

Chaos of my Academic Life

The situation: Registration opens on November 1. I have no courses left in my major that I need to take, but I have several to complete in my minor (sociology). I must have the pre-requisite course SOCI 210 to register for courses in the sociology minor. SOCI 210 is not offered in a form that […]

GRE Pain

I have recently begun preparing for the GRE, Graduate Records Examination, and I am starting to feel pained by the stuff I have to learn. I thought an undergraduate education was supposed to prepare me for this, but apparently not. The vocabulary words themselves are very difficult and I am not sure how well I […]

Distance Education Options for Spring 2011

Blue Ridge CC CSC 251 Advanced Java Programming Not thrilled about Java, but would help meet my Computer Programming degree requirements. Cape Fear CC MAT 263 Calculus II Calculus scares me. This will be an interesting diversion from Sociology. Central Piedmont CC BIO 168 Anatomy and Physiology I always thought it would be an interesting […]

One More Semester

  A few hours ago I sent an “Advisement Verification Form”, an official declaration of my intentions for the registration period that is opening on November 1. This will be my last time filling out one of these forms. The schedule I transmitted is as it appears in the table above, with the exception of […]

Seeing the End

Focusing on graduate school information and trying to prepare for the GRE (Graduate Records Examination) enhances the anxiety that I already have about my undergraduate career coming to an end. It is like I am in the moments right before a major life change. My undergraduate career has been a very interesting ride. I have […]

A Little Nervous

I just finished reading some information about the UNC Charlotte graduate program in Clinical Psychology and learned that only five students are accepted into the program each year. This makes me a little nervous about my likelihood of being accepted. My undergraduate record is not that good and it certainly doesn’t show a complete dedication […]

Classes I Never Took, But Wish I Did

Physics II – a continuation of basic college physics. Covering more on the topics of electricity, magnetism, light and optics. From this course I specifically would have loved to have gotten into the optics section. Unfortunately, I never took this course. It appeals to a variety of my interests, from the electricity topic covering how […]
