Last semester began with me enrolled in four classes for a total of 13 credit hours: SPAN 209: Intensive Intermediate Spanish (worth a total of six credit hours because it is effectively two classes crammed all into one, GEOL 101: Introductory Geology I (3 credits plus the 1 credit hour accompanying lab), and ENGL 492: Science Fiction (3 credits) which I ultimately ended up dropping because I was feeling overwhelmed and something had to go. That left me with three classes and a total of 10 credits.
My final grades for fall semester were as follows:
GEOL 101: Introductory Geology (includes my lab grade which was a 96%) A+
SPAN 209: Intensive Intermediate Spanish A+
My cumulative GPA rests at 3.97.
As for the upcoming semester, I am currently enrolled in four classes for a total of 10 credits: ENGL 302: Advanced Composition (3 credits), ENGL 491: Traditional Arts, Traditional Artists (a special topics folklore course that will fill my need for a non-canonical literature course quite nicely and it's worth 3 credits), and GEOL 102: Introductory Geology II (3 credits plus the 1 credit hour for the accompanying lab.) However, I will be taking five classes and a total of 13 credits, counting the class that I will need to force-add after the semester officially starts, SPAN 301: Grammar and Syntax. I have already spoken with Mark Goldin, the professor of the class and Associate Chair of the Spanish Dept. and he says that this will be no problem for me and I'm confident that it won't be.
I can't believe that there are just 12 days left until the semester starts. I'd better get a move on with everything I'd like to do while I still have time.
