English AP: My teacher can't hear. Literally, she sucks at the hearing.
Calc BC: Still reviewing Calc AB material. Hard to do derivatives by definition when I know the shortcut. Or limits when I know L'Hopitals Rule.
School Business Class: Running for VP of Marketing. I'm running against some teacher's pet chick who also is a ditz. I have no idea if I'll win or not, I know she is a ditz, but teachers-pets seem to get things handed to them.
Economics: It's simple logic. I love regular classes, so many stupid people, I doodle during the whole period.
Physics: We have a book and a worksheet, my teacher will assign problems but never specify whether it is from the book or sheet. Contradicts himself constantly. Easy class.
Drama: You get an A unless you refuse to participate. Which is pretty hard, considering today all we did was blindfold a "partner" then make them walk around school and such. Something about communication.

ECSE 305 - Probabilities and random signals -> looking good so far, seems interesting
ECSE 334 - Microelectronic circuits -> bleh, the only cool part is that we get to design an op-amp and get it built on an IC
ECSE 351 - EM Waves and Optics -> looks really cool and prof is good. Really math heavy though, (curl-curl, wave equations and other fun stuff)
ECSE 361 - Power Engineering -> Looks easy but boring
ECSE 414 - Intro to Telecom Networks -> Looks interesting: FDMA, TDMA, DWDM, ATM, SONET. Too many acronyms IMHO, but it looks cool ;)

Cool, looks like 2 people from UW-Madison are in this thread.

I'm taking

ECE 427 Electric Power Systems--The prof for this is really good but he appears to be really liberal and is working his political bias more often than I'd ever imagined possible in an engineering course. Should be pretty easy though
ECE 420 EM Wave Transmission--Also pretty easy since we're just doing review so far. Presumably this will turn into a LOT of odd equations
ECE 536 Opoelectronics--So I have 536 and 420 on the same day and so far, 536 has convered the EXACT SAME material as 420. They're both 75 minute lectures too so basically I just cry and do nothing.
Chem 103--I need it to graduate :'(. This class acheives a new level of worthlessness. Most of the students are freshman, unintelligent, and immature. Not to mention the lecture hall of like 400 seats is packed and there are people sitting in the aisles.
Philosophy 211 Elementary Logic--Pretty easy stuff and it looks like no essays either which is sweet
Physics 322 E&M--We're using Griffith's E&M text, which is probably the best text I've ever read. Since I read through chapter 9 two years ago and again last year (and the class only gets to chapter 6), this is looking to be pretty easy.

Best part though, on the 5th day of class, I officially went to more lectures this semester than I did for all of last semester.

I took that and got a 99.7% (lost 2 points out of 600 after 8pts of extra credit so really lost 10 pts), the class is really a joke for anyone that has ever writen a computer or TI calculator based program.

Then in March I start the hard stuff...

I just feel sorry for you.

aww...I miss going to school. Enjoy it while you can because when you graduate all you do is work.

I'm graduating in may and all I've been doing is working for the past 4 years. I'm looking forward to just work (and no school).
