Wherein Brittany attempts to be academic and whatnot
Yes, it's that time of year again: time to start looking at classes for next semester. I played with the schedule a bit last night at work (because I think I've figured out my schedule for every semester that I've been here while at the helpdesk) and came up with something that should work out.
MWF 09:00-09:50 Paleontology
TR 09:00-12:00 Drawing I
MWF 10:00-12:00 Sculpture I
MW 13:15-14:30 The Big Topics in the Contemporary Novel
MW 14:45-16:00 Chaucer Seminar
TR 14:45-16:00 Playground Games
Yeah, you're reading that right. It's a relatively heavy classload, but I don't think it'll be terribly bad. Paleontology is listed at the same level as Rocks for Jocks, but it fits into my schedule and sounds more interesting, and I'm told the professor's pretty cool. Sounds like the right combination of fun and easy, and it lets me get my Jurassic Park on. I'm not particularly interested in the Chaucer seminar, but I need to take a 170, and I really want to take a class with Meg before she goes on leave next year. Novel Topics sounds interesting, is with one of my favorite teachers, and I need a contemporary lit class anyway. Playground Games is with my archery coach from last year, and it sounds like nice, easy fun.
The thing that really makes me insane is taking two art classes at once. They're both studio classes, so you do a lot of your work in class, but you're also expected to finish up projects outside of class, which can take quite a while, I'm told. But I've been wanting to take Drawing for a while (and I'm guaranteed a spot next semester), and I need an extra credit to balance out my dropped Media Studies class this semester. Plus, it's looking pretty unlikely that Pixar is going to have any internships other than technical director, so I'm looking into the Imagineering internship program. A couple of art classes would definitely look good on my record.
The nice thing about this schedule is that I'll have class MTWR 09:00-16:00, and that's it. I'll have evenings completely free the entire week. I'll be done by 10:00 on Fridays, which means I can give Disney availability starting at noon. So while it's a fair amount of class, it's very compact class. And since I don't have a screenwriting class next semester (thank frakking Christ) I won't have that constant drain on my time and creativity.
So, we'll see what happens. I'm battling some major senioritis right now, though I think it's more real-world-itis. With a real job and a social life completely unrelated to campus, it's hard to care about school sometimes. But, while I've realized that ultimately, no one's going to give a damn what I majored in, it is fairly important that I get a degree in something. I'm doing my best.
