sociology 362: statistics for sociologists iii. a class all about regression; linear, logistic, simple, multiple. lots of work and three stupid days a week. seriously, the associate dean of the department teaches the class, he couldn't have made the lab on one of the discussion days? ugh.
sociology 752: measurement and questionnaires for survey research. a fantastic class that will also be a lot of work but i'm very excited about. the instructor is the director of the uw survey center, very intelligent, and super organized.
pop health 803: monitoring population health. i'm also excited about this class which deals with public health surveillance systems.
french 1: conversational french. bonjour! i'm learning french so i can get a job with an international organization. it's practical and fun!
despite liking three of my four classes, i hate my schedule. stupid soc 362 is three afternoons a week, french is tuesday evenings until 7:30, survey research begins the next morning at 8:00 with the monitoring pop health class ending at 6:10 on the same day (wednesdays are going to be the longest days ever). in addition, i still have my 50% assistantship which means i have to fit 20 hours of work into each week. that wouldn't be a problem except that i work off campus and i could, potentially, spend all of my non-class time doing homework.
this weekend was my first with homework and i was a terrible student. i read about a 16th of what i needed to and didn't write anything. gotta work on that.
today i have class from 3:30 to 5:25. which class, you might wonder? stupid soc 362. but then i'm picking up a costco pizza and heading over to hang out with flav and the kids so the evening won't be totally ruined.
i'd just like to point out that i don't actually dislike the regression class. i dislike that it's three days a week and that there are six exams. none of my other classes have exams. but regression? six!! the other classes meet one day a week. but regression? three!! stupid soc 362.
