Summer is shaping up

Well, my Spring Semester is coming to a close. Sorry I haven't kept y'all up to date so much this semester! It was a successful one and I also managed to keep regular hours at my part-time job with H&R Block. Fun seeing most of my old clients - it's my eighth season so I'm starting to see a lot of regulars. I like that.

Anyhow, here's how Summer School is shaping up:

Summer Pre-Session (mid-May to early June):

Earth's Environment: Intro to Physical Geography - Introduction to fundamental laws of nature as expressed physical processes that govern the spatial distribution of Earth's land, sea, air, and biological environments. Focus on fluxes and feedbacks among these systems, and interactions with humans. (This will finish off my Tier One Natural Sciences requirement.)

First Summer Session (mid-June thru mid-July):

Cost and Managerial Accounting - Concepts and analytical procedures necessary in the generation of accounting data for management planning control.

Spreading throughout both those UA semesters is a Pima Community College course in Business Ethics (taken online).

And two classes in the Second Summer Session (mid-July to mid-August):

Using and Managing Information Systems - Ways that organizations improve their business practices through the use of computer technology. Course emphasizes systems technologies, enterprise integration, business applications, and critical analysis of organizational change through information systems.

Introduction to Prehispanic, Hispanic, and Chicano Art - Survey of the native, prehispanic arts of Meso; Central and South America; art since the conquest of Mexico, Central and South America; and Hispanic Arts of the Southwest and contemporary Chicano art. (This will fulfill my Tier Two Arts requirement.) Sounds very interesting, plus it only meets Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays! All the other summer classes meet every day.

The Accounting and MIS classes will serve to dilute my Fall and Spring semesters to just FOUR classes instead of FIVE. I just can't do five at once!

Oh, and an update on GOLF. They cancelled my summer Golf class (budget cuts, no doubt) but I was able to sneak into one of the previously full Fall Semester classes (by checking the web registration EVERY DAY until finally spotting an opening!). So golf will not happen until October. The weather is better then anyway!
