Hey look! News about my real life!
Okay, so I'm doing summer session at UC Berkeley, taking four humanities classes. I found out today that I got into the poetry class I wanted to take. I'm also doing a Greek history course, a gender studies course, and a filmography literature course.
For the fall I'll do concurrent enrollment. I'll take UC classes along with regular UC students and get credit, without actually being a UC student. So I won't have to declare a major and I won't be able to earn a degree either, but the credits should be transferable once I start doing regular college again. I'll do this at UC Berkeley, if classes are open, or one of the other UC's. I don't know yet if this program offers any housing benifits. Just in case I'll try to get some sort of job over the summer so that I might perhaps afford an apartment if I can't get campus housing in the fall.
For the spring, my plan is to be back at MIT. If that doesn't pan out, then I can continue with concurrent enrollment during the spring, and apply to be a regular student for next fall at one of the UC's -- whichever one I end up doing the concurrent enrollment thing in.
I'm not really sure how fall classes work at the UC's, since apparently they're on the quarter system, whereas I was on a semester system before I decided to take a semester off. I want to take chemistry, multivariable calculus and physics (electricity and magnetism). Maybe a humanities course as well. I haven't signed up for anything yet.
And hey! I finally have an excuse to use my Boondocks icon.
Really I'm just overjoyed that I won't have to spend the fall at home. Cause seriously? Home sucks. As does living with your parents.
ETA: WTF?!? Apparently the Virginia legislature's gone insane.
