2nd semester, 3rd year


The last semester of my 3rd year is coming to a close. I'm taking a light load of four classes- American Environmental History; Victorian Fiction; Race, Class and Gender in the Americas; and a tutorial for my thesis next year. By the end of next semester I should have all of the requirements for my AOCs completed and, with any luck, my thesis will be well on its way. 


I don't have any big issues with any of my classes. I like my Latin American class better than I had expected and my Lit course less than I had thought. All in all it isn't a bad semester. 

The biggest drama at the moment here at NCF is the new pre-registration system that has started up. The professors don't understand it, the students don't understand it, and none of us like it. It seems to be another sign of NCF getting bigger and most of us are pretty worried about the outcome. But I did go through the process, with some problems, and I should be taking Science of Science Fiction, a Latin American history course, International Economics, Micro Econ, and a tutorial- if my advisor signs off on it. 

Our new roomie, Nick, has worked out nicely. Unfortunately, room draw is coming up this month and we have to figure out where we are living next year and who our other three roommates will be.
