Howdy Hypography!

I have been pretty busy, still. Work, home, school; life in all of its diverse glory has been keeping me away from these hallowed threads far too much, but having gotten a solid hour of sleep last night with another hour until I tuck in the kids tonight it seemed like a good time to stop in and give an update.

I have now completed 11 classes, for a grand total of 34 credits of the 120 I need for graduation. But the big news is this... I made the Dean's...

I have been a rare sight in these parts lately. I am quite overwhelmed by life at the moment, but I feel compelled to take a few moments to post on this thread.

I have completed by first year of college. Seems like I just started, but a year has passed. Ten classes done and a GPA of 3.9; not bad for a guy who failed high school. So now I am officially a sophomore, and the tougher classes begin this year. But right now I am looking forward mostly to Christmas, and the only two weeks...

Last night I was up until 3:45 AM completing the work for my ENG 122 class. That signals the end of class number nine. I now have 27 of 120 credits required for graduation, a whopping 22.5%! Today I begin my first science course, SCI 207 Dependence of Man on Nature. I am really happy to be past the English and Philosophy for a little while and get to deal with physical forces again.

At the end of this class I will have 31 credits, and I will no longer be a freshman. For those considering...

Another update. I completed my PHY107 class, and despite some late entries still managed an A- for the course. I am now in the fourth week of my REL 107, Comparative Religions course and I have the same professor as I had for my previous class. For this class the text books were back ordered so we have been using online sources until the books arrive, which they did this week. But with a five week course schedule it is mostly passed.

I have been collecting all of my books into a mini...

Will, I ended up taking a day off and going to the library. Pulled some books from the shelves, and managed to read that plus my text and got my papers written....

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
