So did I. The material was interesting but the teacher and her aids were so disorganized that it literally ruined the class. During a midterm, they passed out the answer sheet by mistake! Who does that?!
Another good class - sociology of murder.
But I was a film major so pretty much all my classes were about watching movies.

I grew up with schnauzers - they were bred for the purpose of hunting down rats and mice. I always had gerbils and I would let the gerbils run around in those plastic balls. The gerbils would run right at the dogs and the dogs would take off in the other directionDate: 3/2/2010 10:37:55 AM

OH. MY. GOD.
So K was walking to the bathroom this morning and makes a really weird freaked out noise. I asked what was up and he just says ''this is not a toy!'' I was like, ''WTF are you talking about?''
Apparently we have mice--the cats left a present at our bedroom door this morning/last night. K thought it was one of their cat toys. I''m just glad they didn''t bring it up on the bed!
Good kitties.
I''m glad that even if we did have mice, our cats would *never* be able to catch one.
Gross.
Though I guess that''s better than my friend''s jack russel - we can''t dog sit for her anymore because she would, without a doubt, get at Otto (even in his cage) and maul him.

Wifey that''s gross! I didn''t figure my cats for the type, but I guess while we were on our HM, SIL went in to feed our boys and there was a dead mouse in the middle of the floor.

Lilac, that sounds like an AWESOME class! I''m jealous of you getting to take things you WANTED to take...I was an engineer...we didn''t really HAVE that option, lol.
In other news, I actually managed to turn down a Krispy Kreme donut this morning. I''m pretty proud of myself.
Ditto! I only took 6 classes that I choose in my whole four years.
Lilac, that sounds really cool! I always wanted to take a class like that.
Everything else was either, ''you must take this class'' or ''choose A or B and they suck equally''...if you can even call that a choice, then I think I had about 6, too.
I think I actually had 6 free choices. I ended up taking linguistics, Old English, Welsh, History of English to 1300, Eastern Religions, and Econ. I just took whatever I found the most interesting.
We had some of those choose A or B electives as well. Lame!
As another engineer, I can relate. However, I did get to take bowling my final semester in school. I had so many credits from summer classes and AP credit transfer from high school that my final semester I had to take bowling to be a full time student. I also got to be on the SAE Mini Baja team for credit. Besides those two things I hardly took anything fun. Just boring 100 level stuff to fill gen ed requirements.

Me too, Elle--I think out of the last 10 resumes I''ve sent, I''ve gotten one form response to let me know they received it and 0 personal email responses.
Booooooooooooooo.

I did academic overload all through college so I could take some fun classes. Some of my favorites were criminology; ethics, morality and religion; ice skating; ballet; and the history of jazz.

I forgot about PE! We had to have a certain number of PE credits, and you could get them by doing stuff like bowling or even handgun safety. I was on the polo team so I just counted that towards my credits ... I also took a spinning class. But I kind of wish I had had the time to do some really random cool things! DH took scuba diving (had to meet at 8am on weekends - that was rough, even for engineers who are used to first classes being at 9am).

Ditto. The only people who respond are the people at DH''s company who he personally emailed (even they don''t always respond). I don''t even see the point of applying through sites like Monster - no one ever ever contacts me. I do get a lot of recruiter contacts based on my resume, but all are for the industry I want to leave, and in the midwest no where near I live.

Haha, sorry! I think I had to take 6 electives, and they had to fit into particular catagories (which wasn''t hard to do; the categories were broad), and then I somehow snuck in the two music ones and wines (well, everybody took wines; it was only 2 credits). My electives were awesome. I also really loved Welsh - I wish I could find the textbook! I still own Harri Potter in Welsh, but don''t have the skills to read it anymoreDate: 3/2/2010 11:14:00 AM

Stop! You''re all making me hate my education!
The only fun class I had was Marching Band. And my Greek Mythology class which was one of my TWO electives.
I really wanted to take cooking with my BFF, but we were never able to get into the class during the years it would fit into our schedule. That was kind of lame.
