by far my german 201 class is the most intresting... although it's way too easy for me, but my teacher loves having a student who can actaully understand everything she says...

I took 4 years in highschool and did an exchange, last two years my teacher only spoke in german in class.. so 201 is cake.

FWIW, this is my last semester, I have 2 classes:
-Research methods, an entire class devoted to learning how to write a senior thesis (which I don't have to write)
-Urban Transportation Problems: an entire class devoted to traffic. 3 essay exams (counts as a writing requirement, instead of a senior thesis)

Both are tues/thurs. 4 day weekends, i'll never have this much free time in my life until I retire...

Senior year, but still taking some cool classes. I've got Technology for the Stage, (I.E. - Setting up and running all the school performances etc.), Electronics and next semester Senior projects.

In SP, we are entered into a design contest hosted by MIT. We will be building an alternate energy source and a select few of us, including me, will be going to MIT's campus for a tour. Scholarships are a possibility. :)

"The reciprocal relations between spatial structures and social identities. The course examines the role of social divisions such as class, 'race'/ethnicity, gender and sexuality in shaping the social geographies of cities and regions. Particular emphasis is placed on space as an arena for the construction of social relations and divisions."

Every class is really engaging, it's literally the only lecture I want to go this term. Very interesting the way the prof links social factors to different spatial objects and vice versa, I think the theme of the course would be "everything in the world tells a story", or "nothing happens on the head of a pin" (two phrases she's used). I've taken sociology courses and human geo stuff, but this one is really fascinating. The whole concept of spaces and places (a space is just a physical area, a place has signifcance beyond the physical attributes to the observer) is cool to think about.

I'm a City Studies & Human Geography double major, in case you're curious. U of Toronto.
