I want to break free…

Yesterday at about this time I was getting home from Allen Hospital. My mom is, for the third time in four months, in the hospital. Its really terrible. Just as life was getting good too. ::sigh:: Figures, right?

I have five classes at UNI left before finals. Oh joy. Actually these finals shouldn’t be too bad. Taking finals now also gives me the added bennefit later when the high school has theirs. I should have four finals, but CW and ALPHA will be done ahead of time. On the day where we have 1,2,6, and 7 I will only have 2. On the day we have 3,4,5 I will only have 3 (and I’ll have to stick around for 4I think…). Crazy on a stick.

Registration for my two UNI classes for Spring 06 is on Mon/Tues. Kind of exciting. I can’t wait to get Computer Organization. I think it will kick the hell out of Discrete Structures. Don’t get me wrong, DS has been alright. I’ve learned a lot of interesting things. I’ve also learned things about things I already knew. Crazy, yes? But computer org. should be much better (and its with Fienup, the robotics helpper).

For anyone interested, my schedule next semester is looking to be thus:
1. Computer Organization (Fienup)
2. ALPHA Autonomous (McCrea)
3. Advanced Algebra and Trig (Staniger)
4. Comp. Sci. II (this means I get my pick of lunch shifts) (O’Kane)
5. ALPHA Activity or In Depth (McCrea)
6. Eastern Civ (Engel I think?)
7. Great Books (Demoss)

Note that Comp. Org is Tues/Thurs from 8 to 9:15 and that Comp. Sci. II is ever Mon/Wed/Fri from 12 to 12:50. So, whats this mean? Well, Mon/Wed/Fri I don’t have to be at school until 9:30ish. Other days of the week I don’t get to sleep in but I do have 2,4 and 5th off. Yay. I think I’ll need it. This is not a confirmed schedule!!!! This is just what I have come up with to get everything to work. Next year I still need to take these classes:

AP Psych
Great Books II AP
Comp and Rhet (II AP possibly?)
Intro to Business (dual credit, yay)
Pre Calc
Physics A

Life is going to be crazy next year. Thats at least 9 of 14 slots filled. If anything, I may boot AP Psych (not that I wouldnt enjoy it), but I need everything else to graduate (well, not everything, but thats what I want).

Supposing I can juggle those classes (and the AP tests) and the college classes, when I graduate high school I should have 27 credit hours from UNI, 3 from Intro to Bus, 3-9 from AP and whatever I can manage in the ways of CLEP or classes over the summer. This brings me to the range 33-39 (not counting any CLEP or summer UNI classes). Supposing 12 credit hours is average for a college student, I should be (or close to a) 2nd semester sophomore+. ::boggle:: I hope I don’t die next year.

So, I think its shower time.

Oh, by the way, the title of this post isn’t really relating to anything besides the song I’m listening to.
