my opinion matters

So now I’m down to three classes instead of four. The fourth class on Wednesday nights turned out to be architectural history with THE MOST BORING PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD. Seriously – I’ve been going to school for like 17 years and I’m pretty sure he’s the most boring teacher I have ever had. Ever. And that’s saying a lot. Anyway, the local history class will be really boring, but easy. The exhibits class should actually be pretty cool – no exams, which is always a plus. And the other class I’m taking, information management, is really records management and how to set up a system to preserve records – evidently records managers make MAD cash, so perhaps if I’m good at it that would be a way to go. Totally. Other than that, nothing really new with me. Work, school, work, school, sleep, eat. That’s basically it.

I had my first two classes last night: local history archives and museum interpretation & exhibits. The local history class will be super easy – 2-page papers every week and then a longer one at the end of the quarter.. most of the time for that class will be spent in the dusty, hot, smelly archives. Ick. They really need to get their own building. The exhibits class is actually really cool. We have to go to two different museums and compare/contrast the exhibits and all that – that’s a short paper. Then, the big project is that the entire class creates, installs, and shows an exhibit for the museum our instructor works at the Afro-American museum next to Central State in Wilberforce. we chose African-American inventions as our exhibit, which will be super interesting. Seriously. Did you know the potato chip, traffic signal, beer keg tap, and the plastic disposable syringe were invented by African Americans? I know, you didn’t really care. Me neither, but history is great!! I’m in

Today is the first day of spring quarter and I am super excited. I’m taking four classes, 12 credits, which is double the class load I had last quarter, but I kept my 4.0 so I’m sure it’ll be fine. PLUS, if that wasn’t awesome enough, I’m able to work 30 hours a week at student support services on campus, which means more money!! And ALSO, Ryan and I are moving! INTO A HOUSE!! NEXT TO MY PARENTS!! OMG it’s so exciting. Teresa, who owns the house next door to them, moved to Germany… yesterday… and we’re totally moving in and I can’t wait. Tthe best part is we have all month to move and she’s even paying us to break our lease! How super awesome is that? Very. It’s going to be especially great because this quarter there are two days a week that I’ll be on campus from 9am until 930pm, and there’s no way I could leave Ally and Jiggles alone for that long – but I won’t have to because my parents, who will be NEXT DOOR can come over and let her outside! Woo! I’m also hoping to get this grad s
