Spring 2011 Classes

To start off I thought I would post my class schedule for the upcoming (tomorrow!) semester, along with the course descriptions provided by UGA. I'm taking nineteen hours, although six of them are online. Traditionally haven't been very successful with online courses, but maybe I can make a turnaround with these.
