I'm trying to register for a technical writing class at NVCC, but their online registration application tells me I can't enroll because I haven't taken College Composition I. Yes I have. Seventeen years ago. *ahem* I'm pretty sure that extremely expensive piece of paper sitting in the basement implies that I've successfully passed freshman composition (although granted, not at NVCC). Note to self: email professor tomorrow and ask for permission to do an end run around the registration software.

I used to work in a college bookstore and so I know the logic behind some of the store pricing, but $100 for a paperback is still just stupid.

Hee. :) I can't take any other Science labs without taking Biology. I didn't do so hot with it in high school, either, so it's no surprise that it's hell now.

What makes it difficult, though, is a few other factors: No homework, no reading. All testing is derived from notes in class. Chapters covered in 1 day with no review. Unit tests cover 5 chapters.

I think I'd -prefer- homework and assigned reading to this. I completely bombed the section on cellular respiration.
