Classes for Winter term

I registered for my classes a couple of weeks ago. I like to do it as soon as I can so I can get the classes that I want. Here's how it looks:

• CAS 140 - Beginning Access (3 credits) This is an online class that teaches database management using Microsoft Access. I'm probably going to drop this class. It is something that I want to take, but only registered for it because I wasn't completely sure which classes I actually am going to take so it is there as a back-up.
• MTH 243 - Statistics I (4 credits) More graphs, probability, distribution, and more statisticy stuff like that. This is the first of a series of two stats classes that I need to take. This class should be tons easier than calculus. I will be commuting twice a week to the Sylvania campus for this class and the philosophy class. I'm not really looking forward to that, but the worst traffic should be going the other way. 
• PHY 195 - Critical Thinking: Science & the Occult (4 credits) This class should be interesting. The instructor and class was recommended to me by my friend, Chuck. The PCC catalog says this class "introduces scientific method, assessment criteria for scientific observations and explanations and the difference between genuine and bogus science." The instructor wrote the textbook, which is apparently quite popular, and his class is apparently very entertaining and valuable. This class will fulfill my last Arts & Letters requirement for my AS transfer degree.
• PS 205 - Global Politics: Conflict and Cooperation (4 credits) This political science instructor and class was also recommended to me by Chuck. I've become a lot more interested in politics and world affairs in the last few years, so this class sounds interesting to me. The instructor was a Fulbright Scholar and is also said to be very entertaining and knowledgeable. This class will fulfill my last Social Sciences requirement for my AS transfer degree.

 My schedule will be Tues & Thurs at the Sylvania campus from 9am-12:50pm and Fridays at the Cascade campus (the one I have taken the majority of my classes at) from 12 to 3:50pm. This is going to change my work schedule also. I may try to get a different job when after they are posted later this week. I usually enjoy working at the school, but it's not the greatest fit for me. We'll see.

After this term is finished, I will only have one term left at PCC. I'll probably take the second stats class, hopefully the final enviromental science class I've been wanting to take, and unless a class that looks really interesting is available I will probably go for an easy, like Art 101 or something like that. No need to ruin that artificially high GPA I have going (now at 3.90).

I will need to start gathering information about starting there soon. I should try to get down to the financial aid and advising offices at PCC this week. And I will be on the lookout for the advisers from PSU who occasionally from come to campus.
