I'd like to take classes while my husband is in Basic Training at a community...

...college but have some questions First in high school my favorite subjects were math and science classes and since I'm planning to join him after his training and I will be a mommy at that time with little time for educational pursuits I want to use this opportunity to take Calculus and perhaps Mechanics of Solids (Physics). I don't want Chemistry because I'm concerned with exposing my unborn child to chemicals while in the lab. I also don't want English, History, Ethnic Studies because I don't want to waste the limited opportunity I have. My girlfriends told me that they will not allow me to take science and math at first and will require me to take those classes I don't want because they are required for a degree in all subject areas. Can I request an exemption from the counselor and be allowed to take Calculus and Physics in the beginning since I don't have time to waste on general education subjects. After my husband finishes his training I want to spend all my time taking care of him and the baby.
