got a game plan.

so tomorrow's register for class day for me. blech!

 i kind of got stressed out because a couple of the classes i wanted to take got filled up. and there may be a slight chance that 2 of the classes will get filled up but i made an alternate schedule for that schedule. phew. 

safe to say, i think i covered my bases... so here's my new schedule for Spring 2010:

1. Education 109 - An analysis of the classroom as a microcosm of society. Focuses on issues related to meeting the educational needs of students with diverse backgrounds and characteristics including gender, religion, ability, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, class, and language

2. Sociology 123 - Analyzes the emergence and development of human societies from hunters and gathers to horticultural, agrarian, and industrial forms of social organization. Explores social networks, societal change, the transition from food collecting to food producing, early Germanic societies, the rise of the West, and the causes of the Industrial Revolution.

3. French 4 - more french with J. Ramos (Shout out to prof Ramos!)

4. History 10 - uggghhh... A comparative introduction to the development of cultures in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Topics covered are the origins of world civilizations; the classical world, or bronze age, from a global perspective; and the evolution of complex political systems throughout the medieval world. Includes a comparative discussion of world religions, West and East.

5. Education 172 - Addresses theoretical models of reading; linguistics and language development; methods and materials; children's and adolescents' literature; reading in the content areas; individual differences; and measurement and evaluation in reading. Includes observation and participation in assigned schools.  

and if that schedule fails, i've scheduled another french 4 without my beloved french prof! and a substitute for EDUC 172 being Ethnic Studies 131 - This course will compare and contrast race, class, and gender as basis of social inequality and oppression. It will focus especially on the intersection of all three, examining the experiences of poor and working-class women of color. but it's a FRIGGIN' 8 AM CLASS... not looking forward to the alternate schedule at all, but it's better than nothing. 

so that's a whopping 21 units in ONE QUARTER//10 weeks. pretty busy next quarter, but what can ya do? i'm friggin' exhausted right now. hungry and tired from the gym... and tired from trying to schedule a schedule + alternate schedule. but phew, now it's time to whip something up. i hunger!

just remembered a good one by Billy Joel. he was so young in... 1977!

 and!
