I left my days open so I can work and make some cash, and so I have some time to enjoy my BIC system!

I don't see any Physical Chemistry in there so should be a piece of cake .

A year of that stuff still gives me nightmares 8 years later!!

 

[Mr. Lamb Fries]

Physical Chemistry is done on your own time. Its a study usually done after the bars!!!

 

[nibhaz]

Your Philosophy 303 looks like it should be a fun class!

 

[Spiffyfast]

Philosophy and Ethics from last semester was my favorite class. I love to argue so what better than a class where its encouraged as long as you can back your statements up.

 

[Spiffyfast]

Sorry about the rough semester, I'm looking good this semester, only have 12 hours of class, all business classes, so it should be cake. I've taken 18 hrs each semester for the last 3 years...I dont know what I'm going to do with all my free time. Oh yeah, its my last semester so I'll probably be drunk during all my free time, gosh this semester is going to be good.

Hmmm..monday and wednesday look problematic.. Half hour lunches are a PITA..

Otherwise, it's a piece of cake. I assume you've decided to keep the semester lite to persue a sport?..

Good luck with the semester..

Well, the grass is always greener...

...just wait until you no longer have to put up with the "work" of school and are confronted with the real world...work at your job, work at home, payin' the bills...

My first fourth semester in Ann Arbor was Physics 240 class and lab, 2nd semester organic chemistry lecture and lab(?#), honors differential equations 286 and scientific German. It was worse than med school and only 16 credits!

Do they still offer Greek and Roman Sport and Recreation?

 

[jaxvon]

Not sure about the Greek and Roman stuff (lots of frats, but that's something completely different...)

I'm so glad I don't have to take Organic Chem for my major. Inorganic was easy, but still a pain because of the workload (and lack of credit). That's one thing I hate about UM...1 credit class, 4 hours of classtime per week, plus another 4+ hours of work outside class.

And Mr. Neutron, I won't even be eating lunch. That half hour will be consumed by me hopping a bus from central campus to north campus for my next class. I'm gonna be HUUUUUNGRY when I hit up the dining hall at 5 something.

There are two types of people in this world. Those that "get" organic chemistry, and those that don't. If you get it, you breeze through it no problem, otherwise it's one long struggle. I haven't figured out why that is. All I know is that tutoring someone who doesn't get it is nearly impossible!!

Oh, and by the way, not getting enough credit for the amount of work you do is not unique to U of M .

I had to take it at 7:30 AM. Somehow got a C+, even with the tequila hangovers. Ahhh! the good old days. Another problem was I had calc in my freshman year, and had forgotten it by my senior year when I actually needed to use it for P-chem.

Shoot if all I needed was freshman calc for Pchem it would have been a snap. The FIRST semester of Pchem (thermo) was easy A-. The SECOND semester quantum mechanics was a bear with a tough old German who was probably buddies with Schroedinger himself. You haven't done calculus until you've done the Schroedinger equation as a triple integral in spherical coordinates! I got a 10 out of 100 on the first test. At least the mean was only a 30...Finished with a C+ too.

By the way, jaxvon is WCBN still any good? I was the chief announcer there way back in 82-83. Back then, it was about the best college radio station in the whole country. Arwulf taught me most of what I know about jazz (when I should have been studying PChem). I wonder how many albums he has now. He had about 50,000 back then. Go Blue.

 

[jaxvon]

Wow...funny you should mention WCBN. I just discovered it myself. They really play a lot of odd music, but they play everything else too, including old-timey jazz.

Arwulf is now working for a local NPR jazz station at Eastern, WEMU. He has his own radio show there called "The Sunday Best". I don't know what his collection is now, but I'm sure it's even bigger.

WCBN is now 88.3 and WEMU is 89.1

Anyway, you should listen to WEMU on the net to catch Arwulf. Great stuff.

GO BLUE!

 

[Dan]

WEMU was a great jazz station then but CBN always got higher ratings (actually got ratings!). It could be weird back then too. There was a guy Hairy Beanball who lived in a teepee for 18 months and one night played his recordings of crickets in the woods for four hours! Bryan Koniarz never played the same group twice for an entire semester. The PD Matt something worked at Schoolkids records (hope that's still there) on weekends and got paid in vinyl. I taped a lot of stuff at the station that is completely irreplaceable. I'll be back this fall to take my brother to his first bigtime football game. I haven't been back since 92. I'll have to give Arwulf a ring.

 

[jaxvon]

Oh man...I can't wait for the season to start! Student tickets are such a deal too...

Schoolkids went out of business, but them came back to life as "Schoolkids: In Exile". They're currently operating out of the basement of The Bivouac on State St.

Maybe when you're in town we could have a little audioholic get together...? The Brown Jug is still around, and I'm sure you have plenty of memories there.

 

[hopjohn]

jaxvon I hope you enjoy your philosophy class. I found that be one of the more challenging classes in college because it is very difficult at times to ascertain some of the minute differences in certain philosophical viewpoints. Not to mention that I found most of them to be derivitives of common sense anyway, just with a fancier name. Sadly it seems, common sense is becoming more and more a rare commodity in this day and age, so maybe it will prove useful. I thought sociology was a much more beneficial class. So if you haven't taken it, it comes highly recommended.

 

[Chris Reehl]

I don't post terribly often, but DAMN YOU ALL FOR MENTIONING PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY. I have to take pchem II with a pchem lab along with my ChE design class, ChE lab, Biotechnology I, and religion 2: death (which, ironically, is what I'll be wanting when I'm not in my other classes).

Oh well, at least I've finished organic chemistry

 

[Buckle-meister]

jaxvon I hope you enjoy your philosophy class...Sadly it seems, common sense is becoming more and more a rare commodity in this day and age...

Can common sense be taught? Or is that a philisophical question?!
