This is a representation of everything I COULD take for Fall. I won’t be taking 21 credit hours for fall. I have learned my lesson about things like that, its hell. To give a little insight into what the final schedule is likely to look like, lets go over what has to be here and what doesn’t have to be. First, I have to take History and Literature, or else, there will be a cranky registrar ready to kick my ass. Next… I don’t really want to take three or more studio courses, so at least two of the ones listed have to go away… I’m just not sure which two.

ART 281 – I am not that enthusiastic about Sculpture, it would be new to me, but not really something I know I want to take badly.

ART121 – Design 1 is a lecture/studio combo that is a required part of the art program, but I don’t have to take it this semester, and I don’t really have strong feelings towards taking it this semester.

ART 288 C – Ceramics studio is something I am very attached to taking, but I am worried that it currently isn’t assigned a time slot, so it could disappear completely or I might have it  at a time I don’t like. I should know more next week when the instructor replies to my email.

ART 288 PH – Photography studio I think I want to take. One week before the Digital Photography class ended I told myself that I wanted to take a break from photography, but now I don’t know. Do I? I went as far as getting the special section arranged so that I could take the course in a time slot I wanted… .so I would likely feel guilty if I didn’t take it.

Logically I should take ART 288C and ART 288PH, leaving Sculpture and Design behind. I feel weird having 2 open studio courses on my schedule with nothing else there. I guess I could still take either Sculpture OR Design 1, since with the way Photography Studio would be, there will be more than enough time for me to work on stuff from all 3, especially if I do Design 1.

As for CSC234… that’s going no where. I have registered for that class for about 3 semesters now. The first time I registered I dropped because I didn’t feel like I could handle the work in the course, but then the other times I got scared before the class even started. I am going to take it and take it seriously this time. Chris has asked me why I haven’t finished it, so I’m going to take it and finish it. Maybe I will write a cool app or learn some new tricks that might make GITI better. Either way, its a class that can only improve me.

I hope to weed this down to about 12 – 15 hours before school starts in a month.
