No wonder transferring out-of-state credits is so difficult and confusing for people. I always wondered.
This explains so much. I was wondering why Fall 2013 wasn't an option when I put in my PCC application--and why the 90 credits--and why you've been through 37 terms since I got here last May.
Upside of the quarter system; you can take a bajillion different subjects and have a well-rounded education.
Downside to the quarter system: CONSTANT FUCKING STRESS. School starts! Midterms already? Oh shit! What's this? SECOND MIDTERMS ALREADY? FUCK didn't we just have midterms OH GOD ARE YOU SHITTING ME, FINALS? WE JUST HAD SECOND MIDTERMS!
Also, to really get fluent with a subject, you have to take at least three terms of it, and most often, you need new books for each term. Also, it is not as easy as it sounds to read 3 or 4 800-page textbooks in 3 months.
Word of warning: summer term is only 8 weeks. Do not attempt to take anything substantive during the summer, and for the love of god, don't take more than two classes unless they're 3-credit classes. Summer term sucks. For the most part all the good instructors take the summer off.
2 months.

Actually, this argument has been ongoing for about 5 years or longer.
You, Alty, and others have missed RWHN's slow descent into self-congratulatory dogmatic auto-fellatio.
He used to be able to admit he didn't know things, able to contribute to topics outside of marijuana prohibition, and had earned a measure of respect as a biped.
Now his main buddy, LMNO, no longer even comes to his defense to try and quasi-mediate or otherwise legitimize his positions.
It's like a super slo-mo car wreck that I suspect a friend of being involved in, of course I'm going to rubber neck that shit in horror.
Things that are probably much more than they seem:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/14/world/americas/2-are-arrested-in-killing-of-malcolm-xs-grandson.html?smid=fb-nytimes&WT.z_sma=WO_2WA_20130514&_r=2&QuoteMEXICO CITY — The police here arrested two men on murder and robbery charges on Monday in the beating death last week of Malcolm Shabazz, the grandson of Malcolm X, though many questions about the case remained unresolved.
The men taken into custody, David Hernández Cruz and Manuel Alejandro Pérez de Jesús, worked as waiters at the Palace Club, a downtown bar where Mr. Shabazz, 28, was beaten, in what the city prosecutor called a dispute over an excessive bill.
Two other bar employees who the authorities said participated in the beating, which left Mr. Shabazz with fatal skull, jaw and rib fractures, were being sought.
The body of Mr. Shabazz, who for years had wrestled with living in the shadow of his grandfather’s fame, was still at a city morgue on Monday while American consular officials worked to have it returned to the United States. A family spokeswoman said they would have no comment, and no funeral plans have been announced.
I know fairly little about this. I would guess that there's a great deal more to this though.
I would presume an excess of other foods with the advent of modern farming techniques, and longstanding associations with insect infestations of unclean areas stemming from 19th century moral equivalency of poverty, uncleanliness and moral degeneracy.
At a guess.
I don't know about the modern farming techniques so much, but I could buy the European filth angle. Maybe.
I was all good with disabled people making $130 an hour that they don't have to report to Social Security, then I saw they were hired through an agency, which probably keeps MOST of it.
UKIP, the totally not racist Party, has incidents like this far too frequently. This is not how you run a PR Machine.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-22516724QuoteUKIP officials are investigating claims a new Worcestershire councillor posted offensive material about Muslims on Facebook.
Eric Kitson, who won the Stourport-on-Severn seat on 2 May, said he shared racist cartoons and jokes only to show people how "disgusting" they were.
He said it had been "stupid" for him to share the messages, which were posted last year, and apologised.
He has shut his Facebook account and said he was considering resigning.
Mr Kitson said he did not "have a racist bone in my body - it's just a bit of bloody stupidity".
A variation on the last line appears to be becoming compulsory for new members.
