I'll be taking Speech: Public Speaking this summer. What angers me is that I've already taken Speech: Interpersonal Communications, but the pharmacy school won't accept that for their speech requirement.
I definitely think that the speech requirement should be waived if they've iv'd you. If they can't tell that you can talk from the iv I don't know what they get out of it.
yeah, some schools only want public speaking, not interpersonal comm. so it's always a good idea to check out what the schools want before taking a class that is not required.
triangulation, what classes are you taking this summer?
i took care of most classes back in undergrad.
the only class that i took for p-school was speech.

It depends on where I end up being accepted. I'll either be taking Anatomy & Physiology II, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics or some combination of the three. My interview with Campbell in North Carolina is in April. If I get accepted there, I won't have to take anything over the summer. That would be very nice.
a crap load
Stats, maybe another speech, theoretically another micro and lab, oh yeah and psych if I can't get my online course here quick.

yep, depending on the school, anywhere from 2 to 4. pretty surely speech and econ, then some combo of microbiology, physiology, and/or intermediate composition. yawn. at least they don't care where you complete the pre-reqs, so you can find somewhere cheap!

Not an easy thing in this recession though. A lot of the JCs in CA are dramatically cutting back on their summer schedules bc of budget deficits, since most schools don't receive summer funding.
Ugh, I am getting so frustrated... I have to retake speech and psychology for UOP because I took them at an unaccredited JC here in Baton Rouge. 🙁
I am finding that all of the summer classes are filling up quick, and I won't have a priority reg. date because I'm not a returning student, already have a B.S....etc.
I feel like I've applied to every JC within a 60 mile radius of Sacramento just to keep all my options open.
I can see myself crying in the dean's office already...offering to wash his car for a year or something.
It's cool that I need to retake public speaking too... I'm only giving a workshop to 700 daycare directors next week for the department of ed's spring conference here in Baton Rouge. Yeah, a speech class will do me good...
I just don't know what I'll do if I can't get in...having quit my job and moved to California...
okay, I'm done whining now.
Thanks for listening...

Did you look at housing yet?
Im so tempted to get an apt for myself. I know Ill be splurging, but its stockton. A pharmacist that grad. last year got an 2 bedroom apt for 750 a month
No, not yet. I was planning on staying with a friend in Sacramento while I took my summer courses. Now that I don't have to, I'm still moving, but maybe I'll get a part-time job. I want to be in Stockton before I start looking ( everyone keeps telling me there's some shady areas there). Of course, it can't be any worse than Baton Rouge - serial killer and all. 😱
My girlfriend and I also have a cat and dog so ...
Yeah I heard there were shady areas too, but the overall town isn't that bad at all. If anything else, it seems to be modernizing. A lot of shopping centers and new housing on the outskirt.
Having a pet is definatly cool. I'm tempted about getting a dog but I don't know if I have time for it.
