Check it Out
Wow, I know I haven't posted in like a million years.
So far I'm having a pretty chill semester. I really like my classes and my schedules, and since this is my last semester as an RA I think I'm learning not to stress it as much and just roll. Though I'm still super obsessed with doing all my stuff on time. But when I get it done early, that's less stress, so it works.
Yesterday G and I had a really nice day. We went shopping and used up some of our Christmas Gift Cards. He got three pairs of pants and I got some majorly cheep shirts on sale +discounts for a messed up zipper/etc. which took me about ten minutes per garment to repair into perfection. I love my sewing skillz.
Then we went to see Juno, and then we went out to eat at BJs. Juno was good, but it made me cry A LOT. Seriously? I can't imagine anything in the world as sad as having to give up a baby, or not being able to have a baby. I sometimes have dreams about having a baby and someone taking it away, and when I wake up I'm exhausted and crying and trembly. When me and Gunnar got to the car he asked me what was wrong and I just sobbed for like five minutes. I guess a dude just can't relate to something like that.
Classes are thus:
Poetry: So fun. My professor is this gray-bearded professor who wears polka-dot bowties and is very spacey. The class is a lot of good reading and sharing, and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year, and getting over my shyness about poetry.
Magazine Writing: Everything I wanted it to be. It should be called "Freelance 101." All the down and dirty stuff about getting published in a magazine. How awesome is that? Lots of familiar faces. I love being in a small school.
Hons Science, Technology, and Society: Bleh. Taught by a chemistry teacher. But, fortunately Gunnar and Rachel and a few others are in there who I know, so it won't be boring. There is one other verdant science-hater in there too. Woot.
Theories of Multimodal Composition: It's theories of compositions that use more than one mode, such as web sites using word, image, sound, and animation as their modes of communication. It's a continuation of Brother John's Theories class, and I already know it's going to be rather difficult. Fortunately, I have Rebecca in there (and lots of other writer-peeps I know) and the teacher is Mary Rist, who I love.
Ethical Analysis: Bleh. But at least I'm not reading Plato for the first time, like many of the kids in there. And at least I can read, unlike some of the kids in there.
I'm trying to have a chill semester and start my plans for the summer. Get furniture, find an apartment, find a real job, etc. We'll see how it actually goes.
