Spring 2014

Oh hey. School is happening. Again.

Since I decided to try and kill myself, 

I'm taking 13 credits 

and getting married.

:)

All my classes are COMM classes.

I don't have to walk around campus anymore!

I just get to wander through the maze of LNCO all day.

I only have classes Monday and Wednesday,

which means LONG days.

Monday and Wednesday mornings I have Intro to News Writing. I love it so far! :) It's probably going to be the most work of all my classes, but what else should be expected of a writing class? My teacher is a cool guy and there aren't a ton of people in there. We'll see how it goes.

Monday and Wednesday afternoons I have Perspective Theories of Communication. It's boring as I'll get out, but I only have to do 2 papers and 3 tests, and one of the 5 gets dropped. So that's fun! I have a hard time staying awake in there but I'll get used to it eventually. 

Wednesday around noon I have a class between my other two classes called Living in a Media World. My professor doesn't believe in tests and there are a few simple assignments. HOLLA. He's the kind of guy that has a PhD and asks us to call him Glen. He's not the slightest bit boring. Plus, who doesn't love talking about Facebook and Amazon all day long?

Wednesday nights from 6 to 9 I have Principles of Visual Communication. My teacher is a photographer and understands that we all have busy lives and are really tired by the end of the day and usually ends class early. We have to make these scrapbooks full of different kinds of images and write short paragraphs analyzing them. As long as I can find a good stockpile of magazines and whatnot, I should be alright!

Wednesdays are gonna be a killer. I have to leave for school at 8 and don't get home until after 9. But, at least I don't have to get up and go to school on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays. And, I only have to do it 14 times. 

I love school. I really do. It's so much better now that all of my classes are things I'm actually interested in. I'm so thankful to be done with (or mostly done with) my general ed classes and can just work on my major requirements. I'm just crossing my fingers that I make it through this semester with all the other things going on. But, I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm so thankful for the opportunity I have to receive an education and make something of my life right now. :)
