I completed my course registration about a week ago, and I have since logged into the SSC excitedly almost everyday to gaze at my future classes. I am happy to finally be in third year and be able to specialize, this is evident in my course selections. I am taking:<\/p>\n
The History of the Book (!!!)
\nAmerican Studies
\nPoetry
\nStudies in Prose Literature
\nFirst Year Latin
\nCanadian Literature
\nSensory Systems (Psych)
\n19th Century Studies<\/p>\n
I am definitely the most excited for The History of the Book. I didn’t even know that class existed! My amazement lead to me searching the SSC for other awesomely interesting courses. What I found made me appreciate UBC about x10 more. I found such gems as: Classical Studies 502 – Topography and Monuments of Rome<\/strong> Food, Nutrition, and Health 471 – Human Nutrition Over the Life Span<\/strong> Civil Engineering 589 – Traffic Flow Theory<\/strong> Earth and Ocean Sciences 354 – Analysis of Time Series and Inverse Theory for Earth Scientists<\/strong> Family Studies 316 – Human Sexuality<\/strong> Sociology 444 – Sociology of Aging<\/strong> To be honest, this post could be really long if I posted every interesting sounding course. I almost wish I could stay a couple more years, just so I could take some of these!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I completed my course registration about a week ago, and I have since logged into the SSC excitedly almost everyday to gaze at my future classes.
