Downloading College

mini-animalhouse.jpgSeattlest decided that we were going to relive our undergrad experience not long ago. We slept until noon and then sat around in the kitchen waiting for lunch to be served, but apparently Seattlest's fiancee ignored the hair nets and recipies we'd left out and had gone to work. We ate a few slices of the pizza we ordered at 3am but were either too stoned or too wrapped up in video games to eat at the time and crashed on the couch until ten when we started calling around for a kegger. Oh, shit! There's a paper due tomorrow! We hastily wrote ours and then cut and pasted a few others together for friends before spending four hours wandering around the neighborhood looking for a computer lab with a functioning and available printer. At which point we said, "screw it," went home, went to bed and went to work in the morning. Ah, post collegiate life.

We didn't have to go through all that, though. Of course now we remember that anything worth doing can be done online. We had only to browse our way over to the UW website and sic iTunes on their podcast lectures to get ourselves into that academic frame of mind. According to the P-I it's still in the development phase as there are only three courses online as we write this, but if you are at all interested in "The Changing Oceans," "Intro To Amer Pol," or the eternal "Question Of Hum Nat" than you are in luck. That's 35 lectures, though, so you better get started.
