info to go

After not posting in so long, it's sad my last post contained no information. Takes a few tries to get back in the habit I guess.

For those who care, here's what my semester looks like:
Statistics: Easy. The professor is nice and actually a good teacher, but goes sooooo sloooooowly. I knew this, but had to take him anyway b/c of time conflicts.

Public Management: Lots of reading. Lots of bunk theories and common sense I don't need to sit in class to figure out. But the prof and some of the case studies are interesting. I actually found an interesting book on environmental management, and can do a project on it. My friends who are teaching have showed me I need to make the most of courses I wouldn't necessarily choose to take.

Geographic Information Systems: Love the subject matter- making and using maps, aerial photos, etc to compile information and solve problems. The independent assignments are great, but the lectures are seriously disappointing and the students are unresponsive as a result. Based on what I've heard about this class, I'm hoping it gets better.

Groundwater Flow Modeling: Not as boring or scary as it sounds. My wonderful applied math prof teaching us about his passion in a cool Dutch accent. Using math and computer programs to figure out where water goes when it's underground. It scares me that I like classes like this and aquatic chemistry (more modeling). I'm afraid I'm an engineer at heart, and missed my calling. Then again, maybe they were just good classes.

Maybe the classes this semester don't look so good. So far, they haven't taken much time, so I've had time for work and play without feeling behind. That may change, but it's been really nice.
