More very first impressions

September 4, 2002

It just can’t be easy, can it?

I went to where my new media class was supposed to be this morning, and there was only one other person there (Renee) – no professor. We went to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences office, and what we found out over the next hour or so was that the class had been cancelled but we hadn’t been notified. Oh, well. It only screwed up my schedule a little bit, and on top of that I had someone to eat lunch with. That was very nice. My schedule is now pretty lop-sided, but it works for me. But first….

2-D Design – I think this will be a really cool class, too. The instructor’s really nice; he’s a painter who has a great work in the Carnegie gallery here. He even invited us to a couple of openings that are occuring within the next month or two. It sounds like it’s not all about drawing world-class pieces of art, though, which is very good for me; it’s about the techniques and compositions of artwork, which is exactly what I wanted. Add to that the fact that all of the people in the class are new media people, and I think it’ll work out fine. Maybe it’ll get me a way from computers and more into drawing and photography.

Anyway, Tuesdays and Thursdays will kind of suck for me. Instead of my new media class today, I’ll be having it from 2:10 – 3:25 on Tu/Th. I’ll be going straight from 9:30 to 3:25, and I’m not really sure where I’ll fit in lunch. But it’s about the same length as high school was, so I’m used to it.

Why’d I get myself into it? Mondays and Wednesdays I only have art. It’s a long class (two and a half hours), but he gives us breaks and it should be interesting. I can sleep in and I get back to the dorm fairly early.

Fridays I don’t have any classes. Rock on.

Hopefully the schedule will work itself out and everything will be approved and such. I’ve gotten approval from the chair of the new media department, so everything should be fine. Four-day week, here I come.
