10 Years After

Unofficial Guide to Backstabbing

Well, Thursday I was fired from work. I had worked a double shift the day before, filling in for the third shift person who had a mandatory day off. I came home, slept for a couple of hours, and then went back into work. As I was waiting around to go to the main center I dozed off on the couch. My boss's boss came by and saw me asleep. She drove
off without saying anything to me. Instead she called my boss and had him phone me my notice. I celebrated by going to Savannah Friday & Saturday. I left at 5 am on Friday and came back yesterday afternoon. Great city. The trip was amazing.

I registered for my summer classes. Not working puts a damper on my ability to pay for the number of classes I was hoping to take. Also, with looking for work I'm worried about limited availability. In the end I'm taking 7 hours. I'm retaking the Bio II lab and lecture that I withdrew from last semester and am also retaking pre-calc. I had hoped to take a 4000 level spanish class - Aztec Cultures and Literature (done in English)- but the money just doesn't seem there to add that sort of thing in. I spent some time the other night looking over my transcript to see what I could retake. here's the list (not including what I am taking over the summer, which should be):

3 MATH 1010 - College Algebra
4 MATH 1110 - calc I (3 hours when I took it)
3 SCSI 2150 - Comp. Systems
3 CSCI 2210 - Data Structures
3 CUAL 3310 - School II
3 PHIL 2010 - Self, World, & God

Philosophy 2010 is now 1030 and called Self & World. The other change in these, as indicated, was that Calc I changed from 3 credits to 4. I could probably retake the Computer Systems class without too much difficulty. However, since Data Structures was taught with Turbo Pascal when I took it, I think I'd be learning a new programming language in addition to the actual stuff in class. That seems a bit daunting to me. Hopefully, retaking these will boost my gpa better than taking classes I haven't taken before. (The idea is that the number of hours taken won't change, but the quality hours will.)
