First week of class: done. This semester is gonna be a busy one; probably one of my hardest and most time-consuming. All my classes seem pretty cool, just some seem like they will be really hard. I am taking 18 credit hours... which is plenty, I think. I hope I can keep up. Here’s a brief synopsis of my schedule and how I think things will go:

MKT 300 - Survey of Marketing
Seems pretty easy… involves lots of group work. But I have a few friends in my group/class so it should work out well.

MUS 205 - Music, Instruments, & Technology
So far it has been interesting, the stuff he talks about I’m already lost… in octaves and crazy stuff like that. But the little quizzes on what we listen to, I can pick up really easily. Should be a good class.

CMM 111 - Informative Public Speaking
For those who know how much I like this class… well let’s just say I royally suck talking in front of people. I’d rather take a hard as hell math class than take this 1 credit hour ‘blow off’ course.

VAD 312 - Visual Form
Seems like a pretty cool class. The professor is out of this world, but seems to know a lot about graphics design. I can see the projects taking a lot of time. From what I heard it’s not that great of a course, but I will try to think positively. The class itself is not bad; plus, all the familiar faces make it more enjoyable.

VAD 218 - Computer Illustration
We are learning how to use Adobe Illustrator. Should be a pretty awesome class because I love learning new programs. The professor knows what he is doing and is very good.

VAH 383 - History of Visual Communication Design
Your typical art history class with a twist of modernism… should be the best kind of art history class. But I still tend to fall asleep very easily. I have decided not to buy the book… I hope it works out. Especially, because I don’t like taking notes in this sort of class.

MIS 494 - Advanced Web Development
Oh my goodness… lets just say I might go nuts taking this class. I am one of two undergraduate students in this course. The rest are grad students. The course seems very very hard. We need to know many programming languages, and I don’t know ¾ of the ones we need to know. If I stick to it (which I plan) I hope I can pull through with all the other stuff I have to do.

There it is… my schedule for the semester. I hope I can hold on. I don’t know about getting up for 9 o’clock classes every morning either. Today I almost didn’t get out of bed. =/

For all those wondering about the progress of the beer pong table… it’s been idle in our family room for a lil bit. The painting is pretty much done, just needs a few touch ups… but we still need to sand the corners round, and make it nice and glossy smooth. It will for sure be done for Andrew’s 21st next weekend.

Whoa, this was kind of a long post… the title is from the song Jack’s Mannequin – Rescued… it is about ending a bad relationship, but in my case… I am relating that line to how hard my schedule might be this semester and how I really don’t want to drop a course to make it easier. I love the song though… along with the rest of the album.
