I have It !!!!!

Lately I've being having a really hard time doing my school work. I know I have to do it, I know when it needs to get done but yet something inside me just can’t shake this feeling, a feeling that I've never felt before. Yah some people will say "oh it’s just a case of procrastination."

But it’s not procrastination, it can’t be!! I think it's something bigger than the p word it’s something huge and unexplainable except by Wikipedia and one simple word: I think I have Senioritis.

According to Wikipedia:
Senioritis, from the word senior plus the suffix -itis (which refers to inflammation but in colloquial speech is assumed to mean an illness), is a colloquial term used in the United States and Canada to describe the decreased motivation toward studies displayed by students who are nearing the end of their high school or college careers.^[1]

After further investigation on my part I found that Senioritis is a common illness and is highly contagious. Senioritis can be aggravated by certain classes like drafting and economics. Once aggravated Senioritis can become overwhelming and virtually impossible to cure.

A person displaying symptoms of Senioritis should be avoided at all cost due to potentially erratic behavior such as a hour long pointless conversations, mindless internet surfing, watching the same YouTube video 20 times in the same sitting over and over again, irresistible urges to sleep in the middle of the day and or class, an obsessive need to talk to one-self with no regard to the people around them, the urge to chase people, animals and cars. Senioritis can also lead to an individual’s need to start conversations with complete strangers just because it’s better than doing schoolwork, it can lead to compulsive behavior such as cleaning the grout in the kitchen everyday to avoid writing papers or studying, Or writing a blog instead of a 10 page paper on carbon credits and their role in the economy.

I feel that it may be an early onset due to the fact that I did not get today off even though it’s a holiday but, if this keeps up I may need to seek professional help!!! Or my crank shafts are never going to be drawn, Carbohydrates won’t be learned and Carbon sequestering will remain an economical market mystery.

So what does Ann have left as far as classes before she is done? I'm glad you asked, well here you go my last few classes:

For my Major:
ASCI 329 (taking it in the Spring) Principles of Range Management (3)
Characteristics, history and multiple uses of rangeland. Principles of range plant physiology and ecology in relation to range condition, trend, utilization and improvement practices. Principles of proper grazing practices and nutrition of livestock. 3 lectures. Prerequisite: One course each in soil science, animal science and botany or crop science.

ENVE 330 (spring) Environmental Quality Control (4)

Application of scientific and engineering principles to control the development and use of air, water and land resources. Control of pollution of the environment. Disposal of wastes. Administrative and legal aspects. For non-Engineering majors. 4 lectures. Prerequisite: Completion of GE Area B and junior standing.

FNR 461 (right now and winter) Senior Project I (3)

Selection and completion of a project under faculty supervision. Projects typical of problems which graduates must solve in their fields of employment. Project results are presented in a formal report. Minimum 180 hours total time.

FNR 465 (spring) Ecosystem Management (4)

Principles, concepts and techniques designed to utilize resources while sustaining ecosystem health within acceptable limits of change. Ecosystem assessment, planning, management and monitoring project. 3 lectures, 1 laboratory. Prerequisite: FNR 326, FNR 416 and consent of instructor.

For My GIS Minor:
Nothing I'm done as soon as this quarter is over.

For my Land Rehabilitation Minor:
SS 433 (winter) Land Use Planning (3)
Development of plans and practices for management of agricultural, recreational and urban land use by evaluating the soil capabilities through the use of Soil Survey Reports. 2 lectures, 1 laboratory. Prerequisite: SS 121.

FNR 440 (Spring) Special Problem (3)
If creating my own class for my minor. For this minor you have to work on a project take an advanced class or some other stuff. So I chose to create a irrigation and planting plan for the old dump site up poly canyon. It’s currently poorly managed and looks like crap so I want to implement some of my ideas and see how effective they are in a degraded site. This class is half for my own entertainment and half because I have to.

ASCI 329 (Spring) same as above I need it for both

SS 508 (winter) Environmental Assessment for Erosion Control (3)
Assessment techniques for the development of soil erosion control and the dispersal of surface runoff water on urban, agriculture, riparian, and rangelands. Development of a water quality management plan for a specific land use. 3 lectures. Prerequisite: Introductory soils course and graduate standing, or consent of instructor.

For my GE:
Area C2:? I don't even know if I have satisfied this area yet but I'll assume yes

Area C4: ES 360 (winter) Ethnicity and the Land (4) GE C4 USCP
Comparative study of how race and culture shape landscapes, and how social hierarchies allocate the use of natural resources and the burdens of environmental pollution. 4 lectures. Prerequisite: Completion of GE Area A and one course from Area C1, C2, or C3. Junior standing. Recommended: one lower division Ethnic Studies course and an introductory natural resources course.
