New Opinion of Liberal Studies and Political Science

I never thought that I would actually say this, but I am enjoying a liberal studies (LBST) course and a Political Science (POLS) course. They are the same course technically, its a LBST course in the field of political science, which I signed up for on a whim. I really wasn’t sure what I was […]

Dealing With Academic Frustration

Today I got a rude awakening in my ITIS2300 course, my instructor (who moved to COIT from COB), thinks too much like a person of business in the way he decides to cover the history of the Internet. I was expecting a lot more detail and a lot less “fluff” and inacuracy. The first thing […]

Book List

In case anyone is curious about what is on my academic book list for the semester, here they are (being on the list doesn’t mean I will actually read it completely): [PHIL3211] Greek Philosophy: Thales to Aristotle (Allen) [ISBN 0029004950] Greek and Roman Philosophy After Arisitotle (Saunders) [ISBN 0684836432] [ITIS2300] Programming the Web Using XHTML […]

On My Return

In a few hours I am due back at UNCC for my first class of the semester. I am going to an orientation for one of my online courses at 8AM. It is supposed to be a library workshop as well as learn how to WebCT. I really wish I knew why my instrucor (Dr. […]

Back to School

It would appear that with just 22 days remaining, the fall semester is quickly approaching and my summer is about to end. I haven’t completed as many of my summer objectives as I would have liked to this year. I have several titles still on my summer reading list left that I would love to […]

A Platonic No-Show

At 3:45 it was confirmed that Dr. Presler had decided not to attend, so pretty much leave the exams with the […]

Wrapping Up My First Year of College

I have only 3 more lectures left in my MWF classes, and only one left for my Thursday class (Plato). That means I have 3 hours left with each course. I have changed a lot in some aspects since August 2004, but in some ways, not at all. I have rejoined some old hobbies, and […]

Falling Into Place

All of my academic life I am used to there being certain people I can count on to make me feel “at home” in my curriculum. I was worried that I wouldn’t find this at UNCC after last semester, but I am now begining to find my niche and fit in with certain people and […]

Seeing the Academic Light

As I get closer to my change of major being finalized I am realizing what it is that I want to persue in my education and possibly my career. I was at first a little nervous about the switch to SIS from MIS, because of the increased math load and various other factors that made […]
