Anyone know the answer?

I'm currently working on the 1st episode of 'Berkeley' (my The OC Continuation series) and I realized that I have no idea whatsoever what classes Ryan would be taking in order to become an architect! lol

I'm assuming physics, engineering, and the like, but does anyone know more exactly?

At the moment, I'm saying that among his other classes, he's taking a business class so he can understand that side of things as well as the actually designing buildings side... does that sound logical? lol

I haven't yet decided whether I'm gonna wait to premiere the 1st episode of 'Berkeley' in the fall (Like late September/Early October) and try to have it run during the regular television season, or if I wanna post the episodes starting as soon as I finish the first one (Which could be anytime within the next month or so...) and just post the eps as I finish them, regardless of the regular TV Season... With the first option, any 'holiday' episodes (Thanksgiving and Chrismukkah both have episodes) would be posted around those holidays... With the second option, the holiday eps would be totally out of sync witht he real holidays...

Do people have a preference regarding that? I'm genuinely torn between the two, because while I'd like to have it fit with the normal TV Season, I'm totally excited to have people read it and I don't know if I wanna wait until Late September at the earliest... lol

I think it would be really cool to have it run like a regular television series..but I want to read it A.S.A.P! haha. So I think you should post them as you finish them. :)

In my first year in university I studied mechanical engineering and we had classes with all the civil engineering guys as well. (We can go directly into grad school as you Americans know it).

My subjects were: Physics, Calculus, Chemistry, Applied Maths, Informatics, Graphical Design and Introduction to Engineering design.

I don't know if this helps, but I hope it does.

It helps! lol... I just need a basic idea of what he might be taking... so thanks!

A Cal Bear's Schedule

[taylortyme.livejournal.com]

I am actually an architecture student, right now, so if that helps maybe, I am here for any questions. As first years at berkeley, there are two semesters so you kind of fill in the blanks in pairs. First semester he would take Enviromental Design 1, Reading and Composition 1A (English R1A), Math 16A (Analytical Geometry and Calculus)<its the one that Berkeley wants you taking, but he could just take Math 1A which is plain calculus, some arch students do that too), History of Architecture (Arch 25), Physics 7A (Physics for Scientist and Engineers). Those are the classes that he would most likely be taking as a first semester student at Berkeley, UCB has a very strict list of classes that must be fulfilled so its pretty clean cut what he would take as a Lower Division Architecture Major. Hope that helps, and I would want to read right away, I am excited. But it is really up to you. I pretty much just handed you my schedule. The rules with classes is that you have to take one before another so it has to go in a certain order. I'll help with any other questions and I love your writing by the way

Thanks! That actually helps a whole lot!

I think since so far the votes I've gotten have been 'as soon as they're written', I'll probably do that... lol

I think you should post it when it is ready but I am a greedy reader. Whatever you decide I want to tell you I glad you are continuing to give us great"OC" fan fiction.

You know, waiting for a (TV) episode when you already know the schedule can be difficult - waiting if you don't have a schedule can be harder ;) What I'm trying to say: your get up is very episode like and I'd enjoy some kind of regular posting schedule rather than a "whenever there's something I can post" attitude. If I have to wait in order for that to work, then I'll do that too ;)

Aside from my pathetic thoughts on your upcoming big story, I really like your new Kirsten Dunst icon.

[missmara13]

lol... that is the advantage of waiting, having things on a fairly regular schedule... and by waiting I cna have a whole bunch of eps written in advance so maybe I can STAY on the schedule... lol

And actually, the Icon is of Sophia Bush (Brooke on One Tree Hill)... although she DOES look like a brunette KD in that pic... lol

[dreamy-betty.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know Brooke, mainly because you posted some OTH crossover story with a bio on her some weeks ago.

This doesn't look like her at all though .. maybe I was led to believe it to be Kirsten Dunst because I subconsciously thought about the recent Spiderman 3 movie she starred in.

Now I know better :D

I'm greedy - sooner is better. :)

I, too, am greedy. So... sooner.

Is Trey going to make an appearance on Berkeley? 'Cause, you know how much I love the guy so it would be great if he did.
