    1) I start August 29th. The day after I come back from Cancun!
    2) Where are you going? A community college. It's where they have the Respiratory therapy program I am doing.
    3) What classes are you taking? Two philosophy, two health and cardio kickboxing.
    4) How far are you into your schooling? I am waiting for my name to be called up for the program. My set start year will be 2012, unless someone drops. I have finished all Gen. Ed and Pre Reqs along with Core Reqs. I am missing about two of the main classes and all of the clinical portion.
    5) What are you most looking forward to about this semester? The Cardio Kickboxing class.
    And lastly....
    6) Are you excited or annoyed with the new coming semester? I'm annoyed that I take a semester full of classes that I do not need but have to wait until I get my turn for the program.

    1) When do you start college? I started in 2007. This semester starts Aug 22nd.
    2) Where are you going? Still on my Associates but am doing Geology! :)
    3) What classes are you taking? Geology 101, Geology 102, Chem 101 (This bad boy needs retaken... I withdrew a year ago >_>), and Precalculus. I have to get to Calculus 2! D:
    4) How far are you into your schooling? Ok, so, does 4 years for an Associates seem awful or what? This is full semesters of my indecisiveness. I'm hoping to fill up with some Bachelor credits so I can really haul *kitten* at the University.
    5) What are you most looking forward to about this semester? The Geology classes most of all!
    And lastly....
    6) Are you excited or annoyed with the new coming semester? Nothing annoying. Somehow I have to manage 17 credits, violin lessons, a weekly church group I cannot miss out on (Catholic stuff), and going to the gym 6 days a week. I tell you it's going to be crazy but I'm excited and know I'll manage somehow.

    Plus I found out the government is paying for my tuition this year so I won't complain.

    Cool.

    1. I start September 6th.
    2. NYU
    3. Taking Physics, 2 linguistics courses, and a Spanish seminar on dialects/changes of the Spanish language based on region (sort of like another linguistics class, except in Spanish, so I guess that makes 3 linguistics classes).
    4. This is my third year.
    5. Looking forward to being busy again. And starting work ( I work in a public school and tutor, summer's are kind of slow for me. Actually, really slow).
    6. Excited and annoyed. This is the first semester I'm really getting deep into my major (Spanish and Linguistics) and am going to start writing my thesis (hopefully), but HOLY **** I'm a JUNIOR?!??! How did this happen?! Scares the *kitten* out of me knowing I'm sort of running out of time to decide what to do with my life. I went from being pre-med to being a Chemistry major then making it a Chemistry minor and a Spanish major then discovering that I only like the Spanish language and not the history so I tacked on Linguistics to it and now I'm in love, but have no idea what to do with this major haha. Sorry, end of life story.

    5. Anatomy Lab = Real Human Cadavers

    I have to say I am quite jealous. I would have finished off pre-med and gone through 4 more years of hell in med school just to be able to dissect one of those! I got to watch a few surgeries and c-sections when I volunteered at the hospital, but wasn't able to get a good look inside anything =( Plus all that blood...

    Our school gets to borrow them from the University of Minnesota. The TA's take a class there to learn how to dissect them for us. Every pre-med and nursing major gets to take it, but any biology major can take it if they get in. I need it for my teaching license.

    My school doesn't have that as a pre-med option =( Not sure about nursing, that's a whole different school within the school. Anyway, have fun! I heard it's really awesome. I also heard that the shower becomes your best friend because you get to smell like formaldehyde for a while and can't get away from the smell for another while, but who cares!?
