    I don't even remember what I did for fun before videogames, honestly. The music sounds nice though. I've always wanted to learn to play something.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I would suggest first thinking of what you'd be interested in, and then figuring out from their. if you maybe said what you'd might like we could tell you what department it's probably in.

    That's actually the one req I haven't completed. It's only 1 credit though. I will have two lab courses next semester and 2 lectures, so that will leave me needing 4 credits. one more BS lecture that I don't need and the pc lit.

    Art classes are pretty easy, I'd also recommend the language courses as well. Taking a class called Technology and Society this semester, seems interesting from what I've read about it.

    Take something you have an interest in. I was in your boat (except I needed 12+ hours each semester for the grant money to be disbursed/credited to my student account), and one semester I ended up taking ENGL 490, which was "Special Topics in Film" and that semester's special topic was "Action Films" so I spent the semester watching shit like Point Break, Lethal Weapon 1-4, Blade, etc.

    Language classes are a bad idea if you don't want to do work. Lab hours are a pain and they were very strict at my college about time and logs for work done in labs. I'd check out English classes where, as someone mentioned above, film classes are available. I took one and it was pretty easy for 1 day a week to see a move and write papers. Also you may be able to find english classes that might interest you, like I took a Crime and Punishment english course that focused on the aspects of crime and the punishment in 4 different books.

    No kidding, what the fuck kind of suggestion is a language class for his situation? lmao

    Take philosophy, religion, film, maybe some cool computer class, etc. There are tons of cool classes offered by colleges.

    Health professional programs could have additional requirements above and beyond the typical pre-requisites that you might not have considered, such as upper-division biochemistry. You might want to look into this possibility for any programs of interest. And taking only the minimum amount of units for any term is not a positive for any applicant even with work or other obligations.

    Labs? lol, wtf.

    Pretty much every college level language course I've ever taken or taught(and I hate doing it, the way they teach language is retarded) at 100 level was just read the book, memorize maybe 3-4 entire tenses over an entire semester(lol...that's not even a DAYs work) and memorize some vocab.

    Write shit down and even 25% correct on a test was enough for a solid B.

    Shit is EZmode if they teach it like that.

    Most Suny and CUNY colleges/universities in NYC have like 20 hours of required labs for language classes. They split the hours so it's like 10 hours before midterms and 10 hours after. No joke.

    I go/teach at SUNY@BUF and we have no such thing at the 100 level.

    Weird requirement, since language labs(in the way they're traditionally conducted) are proven to be ineffective.

    lol@NYC I guess.

    I was from SUNY buffalo too, I'm pretty sure there isn't any lab required for my japanese class. I have taken the course for three semesters, besides you may attend the tutorial section to get some extra credits.

    Ug, how could you stand it? Our Japanese subdepartment is insane, most of them try to teach like it's a school in Japan with out-dated rote methods...outdated even by outdated standards.

    When I tried JP102 years ago Ischellbacher(sp?)(I assume you had her at some point if it's been within last 10yrs) actually SMACKED me cause I had my hand in a pocket well speaking to her, lol and they get away with that shit cause of lolculturalrelativism.

    It used to be it's own department, then they got so batshit crazy the linguistics department had to commandeer the entire program.

    I was lucky that we got a good instructor, Tanihara sensei for both 101 and 102. Which is the reason keep me going for 201. But it is too bad that Tanihara left UB after 2004, that's also the reason I didn't proceed to 202 >.>

    My 201 class is a male teacher, but I can't recall his name lmao

    in music theory (pre or 1) they don't teach you how to play.. maybe you will learn some piano since its really hard to learn theory w/o a piano or guitar.. you will go over names of notes, intervals (between notes), major/minor and possibly 7th chords, major/natural minor scales (and maybe pentatonic maj/min which is just taking notes out of the scales haha) and how they relate to each other (circle of fifths/fourths), and chord progressions... probably your teacher would just teach you the blues progression which is a huge joke... i could explain all of these things in a PM that would take me like 5 minutes to write up lol. if you want something easy i'd highly suggest it
