OK, so I've confirmed my classes. I attended 10 different classes this week, and settled on choosing 4 (maximum courseload), including a PE lesson.
It's a hectic week. I've settled on these classes:
1. Calculus Level 3 (hmmm... the test said I can only enter final level 3. At least I didn't take Honors Calculus)
I think I'm totally stumped by proving limits... Anyone knows the epsilon-delta proofs for limits?
2. Biology 20191 (with emphasis on Chemistry)...
This is still fine, but I hate my homework. Which is more diverse, prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
3. Language and the Human I - I need 2 humanities courses to graduate, and I decided to stick with this
I'm reading Socrates (oh save me) and my lecture was more of linguistics, a study of how languages are the way they are and why humans have more complex language than our cousins, the apes (or do they?) Really interesting lecture, but it's intimidating
There are no exams, but I got to write 3/4 papers in a timespan of a quarter?? Seriously the reading is killing me
4. Japanese Art History and Culture - 1 Art course that I need to graduate
Now this is the horrible one. I thought it was interesting, until I did my readings. I didn't understand what this "object and name" concept is. And when I stepped into this really small class of 13 at the art museum, my teacher asked us to debate "What is an image?"... anyway in total i need to submit 3 papers. The final paper will be on "Manga". And I am struggling with the kanji characters in the painting. Luckily I'm chinese-educated. I make a really really really small sense of what it says.
I'm quite intimidated by the workload. Readings are horrible. There are so much, and debates are even worse in a classroom setting.
I have no idea how to write a paper to comment on an art piece. And I have no idea what my thesis will be. Gosh...
Week 4 is deadline for all papers. And so is the mid-term exams for Bio and Math... I think I am drowning... Mid-terms are 30% weightage! 3 weeks to mid-year...
