Back in school

I am so glad to be back in school. The three week break is just too long for me. I really don't care much for the holidays and felt somewhat lost. Now, I feel like I have a purpose again, am making progress, and moving forward. I did some volunteer work over the break, worked on my car a little, went to Medford, and generally just screwed off and wasted a lot of time on the internet.

My classes are EC202 (Macroeconomics), MTH111C (College Algebra), and ESR171 (Envir. Sci. Biological Perspective) for a total of 13 credits.

It seems that I am in the minority of college students who actually enjoy economics. I have been seriously thinking of changing my major to it, but I need to look into this a bit more. I've been reading some economics-related books and watching programs that have to with economics. The relatively new field of environmental economics seems particularly interesting to me. We'll see how that all turns out.

Math should be easy this time, because I already took this class over the summer. I wasn't happy with my comprehension of this class (even though I got a "B" in it) and decided to take it over. This decision will only slow me down if I decide to go back to my original plan of renewable energy engineering because of all the other math requirements for this.

Although I haven't even gone to a ESR class yet (first one is tomorrow), I think that this class will be relatively easy. I've been interested in this stuff for a while and have spent a lot of time reading about environmental issues, so I don't think they will be covering a huge amount of information that I don't already have at least some knowledge of. And, there will be field trips! There are 5 field trips involved with this class and we will be going to various environmental/sustainability/conservation-type places and we will be writing reports and doing small projects related to them. This should be a fun class. There are two more of these classes in the series that I would like to take also - Chemical Perspective and Geological Perspective.

Yay! School is awsome!
