So I went to my advisor today to talk about class scheduling for Fall and Summer semesters.  Well - the class I NEED to graduate next year is not being offered in the two parts that it has been previously.  This is because the teacher (Dan Overturf) has been approved for a sabatical and will be taking a semester off to pursue his own work (yay Dan!).  However, he will be back in the spring and they will be offering a more condensed version of the course.  This is all well and good but I only have 28 credit hours left before I can graduate, after this semester.  Right now I’m taking 18 credit hours (this semester) and I have the option of getting approved for an internship (for the museum work I’m doing as a volunteer) which would be another three credits.  So assuming I get approved for the internship (which I need to talk to Dan about), I will only need 25 credits for the next two semesters.  AND I’m staying this summer to take classes because I wanted my SR year to be an easy load so that I can focus on Dan’s Applied Photography Courses (which is REALLLYY hard).  So heres my schedule for Fall :

Anth 450 a - Museum Studies - Learning (I think its exhibit design, but could be realllly wrong)

CLAS 133A - Latin (i love latin….)

CP 470D (i think thats what it is..) - African American Images (with Fern Logan…)

AD something - Art History based African Art (I don’t remember the class number or the exact name….)

Between those four classes I have 13 credit hours.  Plus I signed up for two photography courses over the summer (6 more credits) - Pinhole (Fern) and Environmental Portraits (Dan).  That means that assuming I get the internship for this current semester I only need to take a whole TWO CLASSES!!!!!!  And if I get another internship for the summer or for fall semester doing more stuff at the museum then I’ll only need to take the class with Dan in the Spring!!!  Now as excited as I am to know that my last two semesters of college will be CAKE (as long as I don’t decide that because they’re cake I can work 40 hours a week), I’m SO ANGRY!  I COULD have graduated this fall if I would have taken Fern Logan’s senior portfolio class this spring semester, but because I’m anti-Fern I avoided it like the plague.  GRRRR at myself!!!

The other cool thing about my Fall schedule is that I’ll be able to work during it!!!!  I begin classes at 11 everyday and end NO LATER than 4pm.  I’m excited….

 Anyway onto some funner things!

4 places you’d rather be right now:  Paris, anywhere "Far East", with my boyfriend, and traveling through time so that I will already have taken the two tests I have to take in the next 3 hours…..

 Hopefully I will be posting some layouts/elements I make for Valentines tonight when I get home….if I have any energy left by that time.  I hate Wednesdays…..12 hours long days suck.
