transomwhiplassToday has been such a busy day, I've been running all over. I just finally got the time to register for classes. There were actually some still open! lol. Anyway, I'm actually really excited with what I got. I had an outline of requirements and only ARH 315 specifically.
I was supposed to take that class, a SS credit in a subject code I've already done (PS or WGS), and then two classes either in my art history sequence and/or upper division, non ARCH classes.
I basically did that. I looked through the upper div. non ARCH stuff and nothing was really interesting/available (full or needing prereqs. I don't have). I found one that I'm SO excited about. I was going to take a PHIL course on religion until I realized that Intro to Design for theater was open. It's not upper division but I really, really wanted to take it winter (?) term. I think it will be great for me to vent creative energy and set design is totally applicable to architecture-ness. I settled on a Poli. Sci. course since the gender one reminded me too much of my pop culture paper last term that almost caused an implosion, it would also involve a lot of complicated theory I don't quite feel like plowing through. I realized a couple of those Poli. Sci. courses weren't really options because of time conflicts, generally being boring, and the such. The only one left sounds like a total ball buster - you have to read the New York Times to keep up. There is an *optional* paper, but to even have the chance at an A you have to write it. Most of my classes sound really fun and interesting, I need something to keep me on my toes and this should be just the thing.
AHH! SO AWESOME.
So I'm signed up for:
ARH 315 - History of Western Architecture II
PS 205 - Introduction to International Relations
CLAS 321 - Classic Myths
TA 210 - Introduction to Design
PEMB 211 - Hatha Yoga 1
I can't tell you how excited I am about the mythology class. I love classical mythology so much, it's always been a side interest for me and something I tucked in the back of my mind as something I would want to pursue as a career (though it would require resubmerging myself into Latin and probably taking Greek, etc.). It's upper division too which just makes this SO incredible, like I was meant to take this class.
I threw yoga in there for fun. I love my yoga - I had to fill my big gaping afternoons with something.

My goal for next year is to get motivated. As cliche, abstract and repetitive as that sounds.. procrastination and apathy is a plague I need to break. I need to get passionate about something. I want to find that thing that I love. Right now, I don't feel it for anything. As my grandmother put it "[I'm] unsure of everything." I'm finally going to get to pursue this architecture thing after like.. 3 years of pushing just for the chance to try a class. I really hope I take to it. I want to love it, I want to investigate it further in my free time, I want to be so excited to talk to my profs. about it after class. Y'know? It's such a commitment, I have to love it. Lallygagging in other classes up till now has been ok since it hasn't been the subject area I'm really trying to pursue, but now is the time to get serious about my life. I hope I change and get excited about learning, I hope my imagination is sparked again finally.
Next year will be so rewarding and amazing if this whole architecture thing has been worth it. I don't get totally into those classes until Winter, but Fall should be awesome.
AH! This is so great, I'm so happy.
