day 38 II

day 38 agian.

i just got out of a meeting with ruth (central abroad director advisor person) i talked to her about my credits at goethe and in vienna.

first of all, 2 months at goethe equats to 12 credits at central. (so i won't have to take 17 credits next semester)

second, i was under the impression that the introductory program was all the central college classes they told us about before. but, apparently the introductory program is a continuation of the goethe program in vienna (by a different association (not sure if it is central or not)) but for that i get 13 credits. the central classes are just there for people in the introducory program to take ontop of that (it would be imposible to take them all) i am also reqeired to take vienna seminar (a class that meets for two hours every othere week) which is a 1 credit class. and i plan to take history of vienna (a history course) 3 credits. and music of vienna (learn about composers and go to concerts) also 3 credits.

for the 4 months i am in vienna that totals 20 credits which sounds high (it may very well be). but the amount of time i would spend in class seems negligable compared to america. so i may still have free time if that is the case (which i probably won't be) i would like to sign up for a sport at the sports institute. i was thinking somekind of martial art or billiards but i will have to seee how heavy the course work is. if the course load is to heavy as it is i will drop music in vienna because i need the history credit. bringing me down to 17 credits. which i will suffer through if i have to.

for the whole time i am in germany the total is 29-32 credits which is 5-8 more than i thought it would be. in short i am going to graduate on time unless somthing disasterous happens. when i graduate i will have atleast 6 more credits than i need. happy happy day. :)

my bike might be able to go with the other people but i'm not gonna count on that if the weather stays this way (which i might at this time of the year) i won't get much riding in anyway. so it may be best to get rid of it. i already offered it to the group for 100 euro. but i did it in a way that i can take it back if i want to.


happy belated labor day to you all. hope you had fun (laboring??)
