Rock Climbing
haha, yup. I'm really lucky, my university offers a bunch of fun PhysEd classes. I've taken fencing, archery and now rock climbing. They have a huge rock wall in the gym, and we use that most of the time but we have a ton of areas we can go 'real' rock climbing. The instructor is going to take us to one of his favorite areas for class in a couple of weeks, it's only a few blocks away from campus.
That sounds awesome, Kimberly. My college doesn't have any PhysEd classes.
We do have PhysEd classes here, but they are almost impossible to get in - unless you are a PhysEd major... So, I'm taking:- Heat Transfer
- Control and Automation Lab
- Aerodynamics
- Heat Transfer Lab
- Fabrication Processes
- Flight Dynamics
- Machine Elements
wow... I hate physics... :| I'm taking Metabolism, Pharmacology and Pharmacokinetics, Food and Drug Safety Management and Food Systems :P ahhh the joys of nutrition :S

Tami wrote: "Kimberly, a really dumb question from an Accouting Major, but what is Survey of Accounting?"haha, Tami. It's just Intro to Accounting, I haven't the slightest idea why they call it "Survey of Accounting". I think everyone in that department at Weber are... Well they aren't my favorite people. They probably just called it that to make it sound more unique, or something like that.
This semester I'm taking:-microbiology/ lab
-Foundations of nursing
-Nursing clinicals& skills/ lab

I really enjoy my nursing classes. Microbiology is a bit difficult, though.

I've dropped down to just 9 credit hours this semester. I am SO burnt out. I have a year or less left. I'm at the point I where I can barely bring myself to care about my classes. Any tips? Ways you've kept yourself from burning out to badly?

Any tips? Ways yo..."Whenever I get burnt out I schedule some girl time with my friends. Sometime we just hang out at each other's houses and try to make new recipes. Other times we just window shop.
Kimberly, I totally get where you're coming from. I just started a new program and I'm feeling burnt out already. My suggestion is to have a day or two where you just stay in bed and read. Don't worry about your work. Find a time where you don't have any assignments that are immediately pressing, of course, but then don't work even though you ought to. It feels a little rebellious and very relaxing.
Yeah, maybe scheduled "you time" is in order. Unless some pressing assignment comes up, try to schedule a few hours every week for just you. TO read or do whatever.I really want to try that because last semester was infuriating for me. The classes were not what was described and I wound up having to drop Topology because the instructor and I just didn't click. I didn't know what he was saying and he didn't understand my questions.
I'm trying really hard to look forward to this semester... I talked my favorite professor into offering a grad course so I KNOW I'll have at least one thing to keep me interested. *sigh* Just one more year of this grad program...
Adam, Scheduling You Time is absolutely necessary. I've tried getting into a routine of shutting myself down at 9:00 (I'm an early riser, so I go to bed earlier) and reading until 10:00. It has been really helpful to me in the past.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! :)

Which was really silly because I was over half way to my degree, and when I finally went back, ..."The first time I went to school I failed basically all my courses, with a nice D in English. I just got so frustrated I wanted to quit after my first year. So I know how the feeling goes.
It is end of the semester time. Final Exams here I come.
Tami wrote: "Good Luck!"Thanks! I little luck always helps!
all my classes are so dull, i dont know how i am going to write 5 essays in a month! here comes the stress1
Ugh! I just finished a history essay that I thought was going to kill me. I am SO ready to get final exams over with. Burnout has started to set in.
I took World History, English and Math this semester.Rachel wrote: "all my classes are so dull, i dont know how i am going to write 5 essays in a month! here comes the stress1"
I understand that, my teach assigned 4 essays for the last week of class.
Hopefully everyone is winding down for a great holiday break! Today is my last exam for the semester, and then it is time to cut loose for a few weeks.

Rachel wrote: "i have 6 days to do all mine as i really dont want to do work over the break, i only get to go home twice a year, so unfair!"Wow. I wish you luck on that. I find writing essays difficult as it is. I have no idea how you will pull it off.

i find them tough too, especially now that im in my second year, every mark counts, its so daunting!
Well then you could use all the luck you can get. I hope you get it all done in time.
I was done last Friday, finals were technically this week but I finished early because I was going on vacation.
Then it should be easy right Sarah?
Oh fun an internship! I did one over the summer at the CDC, it was interesting. What are you doing for yours?
