I start 9/5, and I'm taking:

Microbiology
Biochemistry
Positive Psychology

Woohoo last semester as an undergrad! Only 10 credits.
 
Wow! You start today? Things are different here - I start on Sept. 24. My schedule isn't set yet - we have a 2 week shopping period where we can check out classes - but here's what I'm looking at:

  • 1 upper div. bio class (either regarding neural systems or development)
  • 1 upper div. psych class (dealing with language)
  • 2nd year Spanish, 3rd quarter
  • teaching a class in which I train TAs for the bio lab class
  • research

daYum! That's quite a schedule! Linear Algebra is fun though!
 
I start 9/27
(quarter system)
Calculus I
Spanish I
General Chem I (Includes lab)

Since the quarter system is so different from the semester system, I'll list out the rest of my year
Winter quarter
Calculus II
Spanish II
General Chem II (Includes lab)

Spring quarter
Calculus III
Spanish III
General Chem III (Includes lab)

Nothing but Spanish, Calculus, and Chem. This is going to be a boring year! I can't wait for next year when I get into Ochem and some upper level Bio classes.
 
I wish my school would let me take Weightlifting or some other PE class...you have to be in the major though. *sigh*

you guys take some awesome classes. I wish I could have taken SCUBA or wine tasting for credit.

Well, I figured I needed something to offset all the weed-out classes. :) I have to take so many math courses (I'm counting Gen Chem 2 since that's all it is from what I read) this semester that I'll welcome the break from studying for that stuff...only 1 credit though. Advanced SCUBA next spring and that's 2 credits so better than nothing.
 
8/27
15 hours

Chemistry 1 and lab
Physics 1 and Lab
 
Buncha engineering courses and microbio! Woo!

just pay $100 and get a tv tuner. works with a laptop or desktop. then u can watch tv on your PC and record it on your hard drive and watch it later! i'd die without mine.
 
I start on wednesday (8/22) and I'm taking

Principles of Biochemistry
Manipulation of Recombinant DNA
General Physiology 1
Eco-Realism (no, I have no idea what it is, but I'm in the honors program so I need to take an honors seminar every semester and this was the only honors seminar that also fulfilled a GE requirement.)
Molecular Genetics
 
Start on 8/27

Human Anatomy...yay!!
Evolution
Medical Ethics..another yay!
Microbiology
Biotechnology

Have fun in histology..I loved that class but lots of memorizing & we stayed so late studying for those lab practicals..oh the memories..
 
Start Aug 27th

Physics II Lab 1 credit
Ballroom Dancing 1 credit
Biomechanics 3 credits
Neuromotor 3 credits
Scientific Basis for Exercise 3 credits
Lifespan Motor Development 3 credits

14 credits
I am a Kinesiology major with only 1 semester after this.
 
If things go well it should be

Calculus - 5
Physics (calc) - 4
Ochem 1 - 4
History - 3

16 credits
 
This is after a summer of taking physics I and II (algebra-based):

  • Pathophysiology
  • Organic chem II + Lab
  • Biochemistry I + Lab
  • Medical Terminology

Starts Wednesday, 08/22, and is a 13-hour/credit schedule - but with two labs, which I don't particularly enjoy. I am a senior getting a BA in psych with a likely chem minor, and I'm planning on taking the MCAT later this year.

Oh, my earliest classes are like 11am twice a week, and I have Fridays off. I think I can live with this.

Gig 'em for any fellow A&M kiddies :thumbup:
