<p>I got into the Genome Revolution cluster, which was my second choice (not getting Exploring the Mind was a slight bummer), but it still looks interesting. Plus I have 3rd registration window so I think it was a good idea instead of having crappy classes from bad registering :).</p>
<p>Faces of Science!
1st choice, yay. (I also have 3rd window :x)</p>
<p>One of my classes (not the .5 credit one) only meets once a week for 2.5 hours. Is this correct? Also my "dinner discussion" meeting is at 11.30 am...maybe I just made the dinner part up, but I thought that this was supposed to be in the evening.</p>
<p>I got into the "Evolution and Humankind" cluster.. I'm happy!</p>
<p>I finally just waded my way through the pre-registration stuff to find that I wasn't assigned the courses I had picked for FOCUS. Anyone know if there's a way to argue my way into another FOCUS course? One of these I REALLY do not want to do.</p>
<p>^ I was considering this.</p>
<p>I'm not sure, I'd shoot off an email to the coordinator expressing concern and see what she has to say.</p>
<p>I am doing Genome Revolution also. My number #1 was Exploring the Mind. </p>
<p>I do have first window though but it is going to suck when I have 3rd window for spring semester. </p>
<p>Do have to do our Writing 20 in fall if we are in FOCUS? Or do we just need to put one int our alternate bookrag?</p>
<p>I think it doesn't matter whether or not we do it first or second, though you might want to double check on that. abena301, you have a Facebook or something? What courses did you get?</p>
<p>Yes, I am on facebook and I am guessing you are too. I am doing BIOLOGY 195S- Genomes, Bio, and Medicine and HISTORY 89FCS- Social and Politics History of Genomics. </p>
<p>What classes did you get?</p>
<p>Somehow I got the Computer Science one (which I don't want to do at all) and the American Protestantism & Science one...</p>
<p>I really wanted Genomes, Bio, and Medicine...was really the only one I wanted that much in the program, so I fired off an e-mail to the Focus department. I hope they'll listen to me.</p>
<p>Faces of Science. </p>
<p>I wasn't too worried about getting this one, but was afraid that nobody else would select it.</p>
<p>^So was I!</p>
<p>^Huh, I imagined many would go for this one...
Either way, I'm happy about my courses.</p>
<p>I'm in Genome Revolution as well with compsci and history as my two courses.</p>
<p>When are ya'll considering taking Writing 20? Taking it in the fall along with Focus seems like a lot of writing...</p>
<p>I am definitely taking it in the spring- too much writing for one semester.</p>
<p>I'm definitely saving Writing for the spring.. I'm going to take Math 32 and Chem 151 instead..</p>
<p>tixivy, I got the computer science one as well (really wanted the biology one instead...not sure what to think about it). Are you in the Facebook group?</p>
<p>Yeah, Enteril, I really wanted the biology course as well, but I saw the email today about how hard it is to change so...</p>
<p>I just sent a request to join the Facebook group.</p>
<p>Yeah I saw the e-mail but I sent off a reply just in case.</p>

<p>Coola, I am thinking but taking the same classes. Except I am in the Genome FOCUS and I think I will take Math 32L and Orgo instead of Math 32 b/c it fits better into my schedule. Doesn't the 8:45 am start suck though?</p>
<p>^Yea, I was kind of hoping to not have to wake up till at least 9 during my four years at Duke.. lol.</p>
