I think I have made a decision about my future!!
I want my MFA in Creative Writing. I really, really, really do. It makes me drool a little bit. But I am also realistic, so I know I need my credential too. The solution? I'll apply to grad school here, and do both programs, provided they let me do such a thing. I can have my credential and my master's in TWO FUCKING YEARS! Well, three fucking years from today. That is not all that bad. Plus, then I can go to interviews with a BA, an MFA, and a teaching credential BEFORE I AM TWENTY FIVE. My MFA will be in something I love, and it will make me seem less crazy for going to UCR in the first place (contrary to popular belief, it was my first and only choice) and less crazy for presuming to want to teach high school kids how to write. I think she's got it, by George, I think she's got it...
The downside is, I'll be in school a full year longer than I thought I would be. But I'll have my BA in four years and that's all that matters at this point.
Today in sculpture we did body casting and I made a mold of my face. It is so fucking creepy. It came out almost perfect (my nose is a little fucked up but that's what you get when you have plaster on your face for 40 minutes and you have to breathe) and it's scary to hold your own face in your hands. My lips came out nice and my eyes came out nicely too, even though they're closed and I look all dead. I want to smuggle it out of the room tomorrow (sneaky!)
I woke up this morning not-tired. I haven't been not-tired in ages. Figures that I have a class I have to wake up early for tomorrow!
Honesty now: Is it slackerish of me to only take 12 units (3 classes) if they're all upper division, all required by both college breadth and the College of Humanities, one of them is science which I will FUCK UP if I don't watch out, and I need more availability for work, which would be severely impacted if I took the fourth class - an English that sounds terrible and boring and is located in the most inconvenient place ever on the schedule - and rounded out 16 units? (Wow, run on sentence much?) Keep in mind, after this quarter is over, I'm a 3rd year senior and I'm a quarter ahead, so I can afford this sort of thing...
