Look out, she's at it again!

I'm being productive again!

I just went to the MC website again and picked out which classes I want to do. I'm going to get an Associates degree in General Studies. Listed below are the requirements for this degree, and what classes I am taking for those requirements (hopefully they count...the website was kinda vague on a few)

3 Credit hours of English 101; Techniques of Reading and Writing I. They made me do it.
3 Credit hours of English Foundation - English 102: Techniques of Reading and Writing II.
1 Credit hour of Health Foundation - Health 101: Personal and Community Health.
3 Credit hours of Mathematics Foundation - Math 130: Elementary Math I Number Systems. I wanted to take the followup class for that, Elementary Math II Geometry and Algebra, but I have to take this one first. Technically, I'm supposed to take Math 100 before I take this class, but that's the really really elementary stuff that even *I* can do, supposedly, so I can test out of it.
1 Credit hour of Physical Education - PE 103: Fencing. Yes, I've decided to take a break from Volleyball.
3 Credit hours of Speech Foundation - SP 109: Voice and Diction. It sounds like a stupid throwaway category to me, but I've been told that enunciation is my weakness in speaking, especially in acting, so may as well make the best of it.
3 Credit hours of Arts Distribution - English 218: Intro to Creative Writing; Fiction. They say that it's designed for people who don't write much fiction...hmmm...think I could blend in?
3 Credit hours of either Arts or Humanities Distribution - Theatre 109: Fundamentals of Acting
6 Credit hours of Behavioral and Social Sciences Distribution: Psychology 102: General Psychology. I'll also take Psychology 203: Human Growth and Development, since I need 6 hours, and they're only 3 each.
3 Credit hours of Humanities Distribution: German 101: Elementary German
4 Credit hours of Natural Sciences Lab Distribution: Astronomy 101: Introductory Astronomy
3-4 Credit hours of Natural Sciences Non-Lab or Lab Distributions: Astronomy 102: Intro to Modern Astronomy

24 Credit hours of Whatever the Hell I Want -
Computer Applications 106: Computer Use and Management. Taken so I can take the other computer classes I want.
Computer Applications 190: Intro to Game and Simulation.
Music 108: Class Voice
Music 111: World Music
Computer Applications 160: Computer Presentations
Computer Science Technology 111: Basic Programing
Japanese 099: Functional Spoken Japanese
Education 120: Child Growth and Development.

And, if for some miraculous reason I can squeeze it in (like if I decide to get rid of another class or something)...

Education 122: Child Care Practice and Workshop

Next stop...talking to my counselor about financial aid, applying, and job hunting.

College Classes

That looks like a great plan! You're being very forward-thinking in deciding what you want and going for it. One more thing to consider (but don't let it drive you crazy yet, just let it simmer in the background): think about what four-year college you might want to transfer to, and see if they have any special requirements. You might find someone at MC to help with that. I'm so excited for you! I remember having so much fun deciding my college courses when I was your age. (hugs)

Good for you!!! Yes, financial aid would be a good thing to talk about.

Yep. When you get your act together you really do a fine job.
Great plan.
Congratulations.

And PS. Don't be surprised, if during the course of your studies that you discover a knack, a passion for something worth pursuing as a further major.
