Well...I don't think this is offered until Spring quarter but "Postwar Japan" (SIS424?) was an AMAZING class. Prof. Pyle is by far my favorite professor on campus. It was a 2 (1/2? I can't remember anymore, lol) hour class, but you just were never bored because he was able to wrap his own personal stories into the history. Not in a conceited way though...just more as "this was my experience." He also teaches a Japanese pre-war class, and one on the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (which I'm SO taking in the Spring).

Other interesting classes,...there's one that's called something like, "Air and Space Travel." It's a 200 level class and is in the aeronautics department...I think...? Sorry I'm not being too helpful, but it was REALLY interesting. It's made for students who have a general interest in space travel. You spend the quarter learning about basic-basic engineering and eventually you design an instrument to send into low-space. It was fun, too ^^

[philmein]

ugly banner kim...hahahaha...just..........KIDDING!

man, I am depressed..

I just checked my grades..

Honestly, and seriously, I really do want to end my life....

[peachiez89]

^what did u get??? i bet u did fine.

[ChunJin]

Don't end your life Phil! (unless it's in an honorable way =p). Like Joanna says you probably did good and you probably got the same grade as most people in your class. My teacher gave out grades and the class average. Everyone started out around a 3.9 range after the first midterm, second midterm it went to a 3.2 and final it was a 2.7 overall =p.

o_O 24-25 inches? I don't know what size that is but that sounds tiny (you're both not fat )!

My new years resolutions: find love, go vegan (or try to cut down on meat... maybe like once or twice a month), and spend less =).

[chickyl3aby]

hmmm i'm afraid of making a new years resolution because i always seem to break it.....

if anything.... i guess my new years resolution would be getting my butt to japan by September...!!!!! and perhaps picking up some cool dance moves.

[peachiez89]

Angelo: go vegaN??? oooo ur goin' hard-core than me and im vegetarian [pescetarian]

[philmein]

uh...getting a 2.6 in both math and physics qualifies as "death." 2.6 in physics was probably the average..but still...DAMMIT!

I'm going to commit the Japanese ritual suicide...

[peachiez89]

^ w/eeeeee phil thats gooooD considering the class is super hard! good job

[sushiwhore]

phil youre just jealous that mori didnt make you one HOHOHOHOHOHOHO


o_o you die over wierd things =/ i think something was wrong with your classes they rape you and they didn't even give you good grades
