CLASSES


LEGEND:
NOT GAY ----- Interesting Class, Learned Something
GAY ---- Kinda-Interesting, didn't mind going to class too much
*GAY* ---- I sometimes have to make myself go to this class...and I don't really like the work I have to do in it, but it is tolerable.
**GAY** ---- This class basically sucks...just going to it pisses me off, but due to the powers that be, I must take it and like it.
***GAY*** ---- The coveted TRIPLE-GAY rating, only reserved for those classes which truly have no meaning. I would rather be working in a 1950's asbestos plant than be in this class.

FIRST SEMESTER

1.) Chemistry 101 -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: Basic Chemistry Stuff with my FAVORITE professor! DR. HONG YANG.. and yes, I couldn't understand one DAMNED word he said the entire semester!
RANKING: **GAY**

2.) Chemistry Lab -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: This class is the kinda class that would normally be classified under a GAY rating, but since the TA was cool and all we did was work together as a "GROUP", meaning one person who knew what they were doing did the work and the rest of us leeched, we all made A+'s and everyone was happy.
RANKING: NOT GAY


3.) PMS 100 -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: Ok, now, this class taught us all the time-consuming and elaborate process of checking our e-mail. Now, when the "professor" <--(haaa) said "I want you to click the mouse twice, we will refer to this as "dou-ble click-ing"" during his lecture, that's the point where I lost all respect for the class and never returned and made my B.
RANKING: ***GAY***

4.) MEA 213 -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: This is one of my major classes, so if I thought this was gay it would sorta defeat the purpose of me majoring in Meteorology. Therefore this class is not gay.
RANKING: NOT GAY

5.) P.E. 243 (Bowling) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: Bowling. Except you have to bowl good to get a good grade. My bowling Avg. was 140, so I got a B. This class is not gay because bowling for a grade is not gay, bowling is good. Except when you're bowling with someone... like...TIGHTY BOB. "Tighty", as we lovingly referred to him as, was a guy in the bowling club...a 275 pound guy, who wore spandex when he bowled. He also smelled and drank directly out of 2-liter bottles. A true Athlete.
RANKING: NOT GAY

6.) English 111 -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: English is retarded. Writing papers is what College English is about. It is not fun. I do not like writing papers. I hate English.
RANKING: **GAY**

7.) MA 111 (Pre-Calculus) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: I like Math, math is cool. I am pretty good at math, so this class wasn't a problem. Everyone loves Logarithmic Functions, the Unit Circle, and Exponential Decay problems. Hmmm.....
RANKING: NOT GAY

SECOND SEMESTER

8.) Chemistry 201 -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: I got a FREAKIN C. This class sucked. My professor was the one who wrote the book. Consequently he thought he was bad-ass. He wasn't. He was gay.
RANKING: **GAY**

9.) Chemistry 202 (Lab) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: Chemistry SUCKS. I hate chemistry. Normally this would be **GAY**, but my T.A. was a woman...and she was hot.
RANKING: NOT GAY

10.) English 112 -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: English, as I said before, sucks. This time I had to read things and write on them. Like Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, West-Side story. *shivers* But at least I had an alright professor in Eng 111. My professor for English 112 was a woman of unearthly proportions. Consequently she took out her fat aggression on us, especially me, giving me a C+ instead of a B which I VERRY much deserved.
RANKING: **GAY**

11.) Modern American History -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: Screwed AGAIN. Another C+ when I soooooo rightly deserved a B. My teacher was a guy who always cussed at us. I think he had Tourettes.
RANKING: *GAY*

12.) Calculus I -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: I love math! Except this time I didn't study or work as hard as I should have. I screwed myself on this one! But that's the ONLY class I screwed myself on. MY BAD.
RANKING: NOT GAY

13.) MEA 214 -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: Another Major class, this one was pretty fun. Learned about Thunderstorms, Hurricanes, Mesoscale Convective Systems, Mid-Latitude Cyclones... NEAT
RANKING: NOT GAY

SUMMER SESSION

14.) Physics 205 -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: Physics is cool. My professor was a crazy guy. I had to work 45 hours a week on it though, since we were assigned homework out the ass. What sucked was living in a non air-conditioned dorm in mid-June in Raleigh, NC. It was fun...I got to fall asleep by passing out from the heat.
RANKING: *GAY*

THIRD SEMESTER

15.) Physics 208 -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: The Second Physics course I had to take. It was at 8:00am M-W-F, which sucked. Nothing like going to class and learning about electromagnetism and optics while you're half-awake in a state of non-awareness induced by the 4 hours of sleep you had during the night. My teacher was funny, he would keep doing experiments over and over again because they amused him.
RANKING: GAY

16.) History 251 (Modern American) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS:I took another history because it was part of my graduation requirements. My professor was this pregnant woman, she was pretty cool, she knew her stuff. She was due near the end of the semester. The class was once a week, on Wednesdays, for three LONG hours. The only thing I worried about was if her water broke, cause I sat in the front.
RANKING: *GAY*

17.) MEA 311 (Atmospheric Dynamics) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: This class was one of my major classes, it was difficult, calculating Extra-Atmosphere Irradiance (How much solar energy falls upon a square meter at the top of the Earth's atmosphere), and other stuff like that. It didn't help when my professor, instead of teaching, just decided to go off on some insane odyssey to prove mathematically all the equations we were using. Im glad to know the freakin equations work.
RANKING: *GAY*

18.) MEA 313 (Weather Analysis Lab) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: This class was cool, although the labs were kinda time-consuming at time. We got to launch Radiosonde balloons and follow them into the sky with our THEODOLITES. YEAH!
RANKING: GAY

19.) P.E. 101 (Fitness and Wellness) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: I'm glad to know I can excel at something. I got an A in this class EASY. All we had to do was lift and run. My "professor" was ...interesting. He would always motivate us with stuff like, "come on! It's a great day to run!" Then on our supposed weightlifting days... "hey guys! its a great day to run!" Damn that man liked to run.
RANKING: *GAY*

20.) MA 241 (Calculus II) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: Math yet again amazes me. Most of the stuff was easy, I only had a difficult time with SEQUENCES and SERIES's. Let me stress that SEQUENCES and SERIES's are **GAY**.
RANKING: GAY

FOURTH SEMESTER

21.) MA 242 (Calculus III) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: Calculus 3, yikes! My Professor was a freakin genius, a freakin Czechoslovakian genius, who spoke zomesing sike zis. He would do the problems in his head...skipping like 5 steps between parts, leaving me with cryptic notes which, although passed time fairly well while taking, served no other practical purpose. This, coupled with the fact that he talked faster than the micro-machine man, made this class an interesting 7:30-9:30, M&W experience. But you say, I got an A+, how is this? I'm smart!!!!! (ha)
RANKING:Math is FUN! NOT GAY

22.) MEA 312 (Atmospheric Thermodynamics) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS: The Odyssey Continues... Having the same professor for MEA 312 as I did for MEA 311 was certainly a pleasant surprise, this time we learned about the laws of Thermodynamics and how they apply to Meteorology! This topic could have been interesting, had it not been for:
a.) The professor's "Don't ask questions or I'll be pissed at you!" attitude..
b.) The fact that his idea of partial credit is gay (I do the whole problem right, but am off a decimal place due to a conversion accident) woops! no credit! screw me!
c.) The way he looks down on, talks down on, and regards us as monkeys!
Ok, maybe not completely that last one..but definitely the first two..and he's completely anal..like he was toilet trained at gun-point. What a PENIS.
RANKING:*GAY*

23.) MEA 314 (Weather Analysis) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS:This was my quantitative weather analysis class, we got to approximate gradients and STUFF using 1st and 2nd derivatives, and precipitable rain using integrals. We also learned the SKEW-T. Let me tell you, the SKEW-T is a COOL PIECE OF MESS. My professor was cool... I was gonna say something else but I forgot
RANKING:GAY

24.) Marine Biology -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS:Marine Biology, a very cool class. The professor I thought was weird at first, but turns out he was a great teacher. Hmm..cool things I learned, what do most all animals spend all their time saving energy for? Reproduction! Hell yeah! If you're stranded in the middle of the ocean with no water you can drink your piss for about a day...after that its concentration becomes high enough so that you gain no fluids from it (you would actually lose fluids as it would take more of your body's fluids to dilute and pass it)...so then if you can catch a fish you can suck its blood because it is hypo-osmotic (it is less concentrated than the sea-water around it). I've always wanted to suck blood from a fish.
RANKING:NOT GAY

25.) Geology -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS:Ok, this class was a freakin joke. The professor just sat in front and rambled incoherently for about an hour and 15mins, I wish I had a tape of this guys voice, It'd be a great substitute for sleeping pills. Me and Dwain sat and gawked at the plethora of amazing women in the class. Unfortunately, we sat next to this retarded guy who always wore sweatpants with holes in them, and he was so greasy and nasty. He would sit there the whole class rolling a booger between his fingers *shivers*, raising his hand every few mins to insert his own pearls of wisdom (which were obtained from reading ahead in the book a few pages ahead from what the professor was talking about). Half the time the professor was like "yeah...whatever" ha.. made the hour and 15mins seem, well, actually just as long...
RANKING:*GAY*

26.) MEA 110 (Geology Lab) -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS:Ok, this class was easy, it was such a pain though. We met once a week for anywhere from 2-3 god-awful hours. I never wanna play with rocks again. PLaying with rocks is sooooooooooooooooooo gay. I do not like Mica, Muscovite, Orthoclase or Plagiclase feldspar, Schist, Gneiss, and I do not care how they taste/feel/look. The TA would kinda get too excited when he was playing with his rocks... no doubt he ruined more than one pair of underpants.
RANKING:**GAY**

SUMMER SESSION 2000

27.) MA 341 (Applied Differential Equations -- GRADE --
SYNOPSIS:This was yet ANOTHER summer class, at least I had an apartment this time, with air conditioning! My teacher for Diff Eq was a black man from Nigeria, or some other 3rd world African country. Very nice guy, known around the world for his work in Differential Equations. I sat in the front, which made it easier to see the tentacle like nose hairs shooting out of his nose seemingly trying to strangle me. Everyday we had to listen to stories about feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, etc... etc.. blah blah.. The class wasn't too bad, I did this project, which ended up being 19 pages long, and turned it in so I wouldn't have to take the final. I about went mad, but I finished it and got my A+ (I didn't think he even gave those out, I was pretty surprised).
RANKING:*GAY*
