ayashi | first day of classes

First day of classes was/is today. I had my first one at 9:30. It's scary... it's a creative writing class which is fun, but reading my stuff out loud = doom. I get so scared! Especially when we have to read writing exercises which always feel rushed and unfinished. So... I was really embarrassed. It went okay though, and once I get back into writing it'll be better, hopefully. Next class we need to bring in some writing we are jealous of, I think I will take one of my sister's poems or stories! Mwa ha ha! Everyone else will probably bring in something of a published author but that's ok :D

Next I get to do my TA for 391 some more (which is fun, I'm excited to do it again) at 1:00, then Jewish People II with Chris, Jared, and Kendra! Then I have ANOTHER break just like this one, and then I have Flash which hopefully will be an awesome class. I'm very excited for that one as well :D However Jared says it's in Lederle which would make sense and SPIRE says it's in Isenberg School of Management which would not make ANY sort of sense whatsoever and Jared it seems found out his info from the teacher... so I will check out lederle I am just annoyed that SPIRE is listing the classes wrongly >:(

Anyway, Flash gets out at 6:45 then I have video game club at 7, then finally home eventually!

I have no classes monday-wednesday-friday, I am thinking of putting ALL my work study work on wednesday so that I can have mondays and fridays completely off. But also I might work on monday while Chris is at his online gaming class to get some of the time off wednesday.

Hopefully Bev Woolf will be in 391 so I can talk to her about doing a semester-long animation project as an independant study. I can't take the art class I wanted to take :( the art department isn't letting nonmajors in, which sucks big time. I half want to declare an art major just to get the classes taken and then drop it >_> but that seems wrong... however, it would also be "wrong" if I couldn't graduate on time because of crap like this. The animation class I wanted to take is a prerequisite for Computer Animation I which I need to take in order to be able to do Computer Animation II. Animation I and II are both 300+ level classes which I was counting on going toward my major, however I am not allowed to take the prerequisite. I talked to the teacher and she said if I do a semester long animation project, with a finished project that is 15-30 seconds long either in flash or by hand, that she could count that as equivilant to the animation class she teaches and could let me in to the next level, BUT there are tons of people who are getting into these classes from within the art department as well. I am going to do my best, if not I will try to see if I can do an indepedant study with a teacher to learn Maya and learn it that way rather than in a classroom environment, but I learn much better when someone is showing me... however I may not have that luxury :/

Anyway if I'm not busy playing World of Warcraft later, I'll write about my other classes :P
