Back to school

Just a quick post detailing the recent week. Yes, it's that time of year again, the wonderful time when school starts up the, frat parties get rolling, and students the world over bitch about the price of books. University is back in session.
I'll probably post a little more in depth observations later, but for right now, a brief run down of my courses:
- Urban Systems Geography
An interesting course in which the dynamics and development of urban areas are studied. I took this class because the professor is excellent (had him last semester), but the subject matter is also of interest to me despite the fact that it's not what I forsee my self focusing on as far as my major is concerned - Fundamentals of GIS
This is a core course for me. It's a little tough to specialize in GIS/Cartography wihtout taking this course. The professor seems like a sharp one, and she is quite funny as well, so I think this course is going to go very well. I'm very interested in the material as well. This course is a huge stepping stone to a number of other very useful courses like Algorithms and Data Structures of GIS. - Discrete Math
I'm looking forward to this course, despite my self proclaimed status as math retard. The propsitional logic and set theory we will discuss is actually the type of math I am very interested in, and I once again I lucked out and got a professor that I actually like. It'll be a lot of work but I'm looking forward to it. - Methods of Inquiry
So yeah . . . I'll admit it, this is a fluff class. Totally. 2 days a week, 5o minutes a day, and the class itself is about "learning" how to take notes and do research and think critically. I figure it will be an easy A. I was originally scheduled for Integrated Environmental Management, but it was a 3 hour class one day a week, and I've had a bad experience with those in the past.
About friggin' time.
