College Students: What are you taking in the Fall?So, We just got done with registration a few weeks ago for Fall term at my college and I was wondering what everyone registered for! Do you have a good term to look forward to? dreading it?
My term is looking to be very nice! I'm a Theatre Arts major, History Minor. I'm completely done with my General Education classes (yay for community college degrees!) Here is what I'm taking:
Theatre - Stage Management
Theatre - Play Directing
Theatre - Theatre History: European Theatre 1875-Current
Theatre - Elements of Acting
History - History of the Civil War
Should be a good term, but a lot of work.

Eh, I'd rather not splash around the name of my university as it is pretty small. I go to a school in the Pacific Northwest. Why do you ask?

Oh, I just live in the PNW, and I saw you are from Oregon. Just wondering, but I understand not wanting to disclose that. I don't even have my name on here.

I'm doing my theatre major, still only a generalist (f*ck the f*cking acting program....idiots). I'm doing 4 courses to make things less stressful for myself. I'll either be doing an extra year at Uni if I get into acting next year, or I'll be leaving and going somewhere else if I don't, so I don't see the point in taking an elective just for credits, when it'll only give me more homework and stressors to deal with. I haven't registered, but I THINK this is what I'll be taking first semester.
Theatre Production (2nd Year)
Theatre History (2nd year)
Acting for Non-Specialists
Introduction to Costume Design

It seems like you guys all sign up for classes way late. We registered near the end of March, I think.

Same. I think they know that theatre people don't like to wake up early and can't have night classes because of rehearsals.

Okay, Highkick, I totally read "Pirate Voice" instead of "Private" and had a little "THAT'S AWESOME" moment.

I think they're all half-credits. We have a very complicated system. There are 3 study periods, and 6 terms, 2 per study period. It's more of a professional training program than a college.

Same here. I'm double majoring in Creative Writing and Political Science with Law emphasis.. so I have a lot of reading.
What sucks is that other people are not allowed to audition for the shows (that aren't in the program) so I'll have time.... which is what i'm saying now.. but i probably won't.

Honors Humanities I -- Yay for history/literature combos!
Honors Russia -- Russian history with a prof described as a "little girl" and a "T-Rex." Should be interesting.
Social Psychology -- With the lady who decided to give me a lot of scholarship money. Woot.
Our Musical Heritage -- Dumb gen ed., but I'm taking it from the person who taught me that singing was fun!
Organic Chemistry II -- I just started Org. I. Joy.
UNI Singers -- Our general mixed choir (which is still kick-butt).
I'm taking a lot of gen ed's this semester so that I can begin focusing on my major and minor classes sooner. At least I can take most of the gen ed's as Honors credit.

According to the site, it is:
"An introductory course outlining basic vocal skills for acting including rudimentary focusing on breath, articulation, placement, and relaxation. The learner will also examine anatomy for vocal production. Modern and Classical Texts will be utilized to explore the connection between vocalization and text."
It does sound really neat. I'm so pumped.

My school operates on a quarter system, so we switch classes 3 times a year. I'm already anticipating that the chemistry lab will be the death of me. I have labs on Tues/Thurs from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. Boo. I'm excited for all my other classes though!
