How many courses does 12 hours equal? Couldn't hurt, except for the time and stress of taking the courses.

12 hours = about 4 courses, basically another year in school for me. I was considering doing it after I finished my Master's, just something for shits and giggles.

And it might only be 3 courses, I might have already taken the Intro to Philosophy under a different title. That would leave 2 foreign language classes and an independent research class (thesis).

What eerian said. One thing at a time. Finish the Masters, then torture yourself. :D

*salutes* Yes ma'am. I was telling Hubby about it and he just shrugged and said that it would make sense.

The more I think about it, the more I just cring. I was exhausted when I graduated college the last time, like collapsed and sleep for a month exhusted. No really, i got up to eat a little , and use the potty. Next fall, I will be driving 2 hours to Emporia for a class and 2 hours home twice a week. Not looking forward to that.

finish your masters first and then decide if you're that much of a masochist.

vermilionbird October 15 2011, 19:48:57 UTC

LOL. I'm a huge masochist. Haven't you figured that out yet.

eerian_sadow October 15 2011, 20:25:33 UTC

vermilionbird October 16 2011, 12:46:12 UTC

Imperial Russian history sounds amazingly interesting!

hope it is. Sadly, people think it's ok to take interesting subjects and make them boring.

There is this class floating around at KState I so want to take. It's called sin and civilization, and is about how vice and corruption builds cities and fosters civilization. Can't get it online, and I can drive the 3+ hours to the school. Gaw

cazcatharsis October 20 2011, 12:41:21 UTC

oh hell yeah. Shit, that's how the romans ruled and the americans rule now, Bread and Circuses. Give people vices and shit to do and you can get away with anything, and the people will do what you want. That's how big civilizations are raised! VEGAS! LOL

Exactly!

It also looks into crime and prostitution as valuable enterprises that make cities run.
