Back to School
August 24, 2008
Breaks of any kind always seem too short. Tomorrow I go back to school again. I’m registered for a full 12 credits this time. Since I don’t have anything else to talk about at the moment, let’s look at my schedule:
Math: I believe this should be the last I must suffer of equation hell.
Introduction to Human Communication: Eww, human interaction. I’m really not looking forward to this. I took a similar class a long time ago, and hated it. I imagine I won’t like it any better the second time around. This time, however, I’ve got 3 years of real world experience interviewing job applicants. Maybe I can use my knowledge to be a pain in the ass to my teacher.
Anthropology: I signed up for this class because I needed the elective credits, and it sounded more interesting than anything else that fit the requirements. I’m hoping it will also help me create believable civilizations in my fiction. Of course, if the teacher does one of those stupid “getting to know each other” exercises where everyone has to explain why they are taking the class, I’m not sure if I will give my real reason. Perhaps I’ll say I thought we would be learning about the retail store, “Anthropologie.”
History of Graphic Design: Another requirement, and I’ve heard it’s a pretty tough class. Between this and Anthropology, I think I’ll be writing a lot of research papers over the next four months. Oh well, at least I can laugh at the minimum word counts that seem to make so many students quake in fear.
I don’t mind writing research papers, though the stringent requirements to provide sources for all assertions does tend to kill the joy. I look at it as a challenge to write something for academia that isn’t dryer than an Arizona winter. Who knows, maybe I’ll even produce something worth posting here.
