Finally Enrolled!!!
Today Tanya and I went in to Victoria University for 'enrollment in person' day. After showing Tanya around the campus (she starts university this year) and spending several hours running around Kelburn campus chasing lecturers and getting forms signed off (I never realised enrollment in person can be so complicated! You need to do a whole bunch of stuff, just to get your courses accepted! I've never enrolled in person before!) I finally managed to finalize my enrollment for 2008.
So now I'm officially enrolled for my final year of my BSc degree!!!
After many months of absolute torture choosing and re-choosing subjects, getting courses rejected and all these other complications the papers I'm taking in 2008 are ....
-Genetics, (BIOL341)
-Human molecular genetics, (BIOL342)
-Molecular biology lab #3, (BIOL361 - a 6 hour lab!)
-Molecular biology lab #4, (BIOL362- another 6 hour lab!... luckily they're in separate semesters! :) ... and I just got myself a new lab coat... that Dad is resizing because it's just too huge!!!)
-Evolution, (BIOL329- been waiting 2 years to take that paper!!!)
-English (200 level paper on Avant Garde- sounds interesting but have no idea what it's about!...oh well it will surely enhance my general knowledge!)
-Introduction to media culture (100 level-had to take that one, only way to get english as a teaching subject because all other relevant 100 level subjects didn't fit into my timetable, or I didn't like what they were about).
So yes this year I will be taking 7 papers, and it is indeed a very interesting combination! I will only have a couple of hours of lectures a week, but that means that I will be doing loads and loads and loads of independent study at home. I also got my course notes (for media) and lab book (for bio lab) so I can start reading up on those subjects.
Now that my timetable is sorted out I can start advertising for tutoring- making and hanging posters around schools and things like that, and hopefully I will get more students this year and enhance my amount of 'teaching experience'!Yeeehaaaaa!!!!!! Overall I'm quite pleased with the way everything worked out even though I didn't get to take marine biology. Now that my enrollment procedure is over for the year I think back to a couple of weeks ago and wonder why I was ever so worried! Everything worked out ok in the end :)

Wow, resuming to tutoring. That is good. Are u advertising in the school? or just going to take any students from any school?
I'm hanging the posters up around the different schools in Lower Hutt- Hutt High, SHC, Chilton and Taita. I know people who go to these schools and they hung the posters up for me.
There are also other places I can advertise, like at swimming pools or supeermarkets...but I will start with colleges first!
