Elegance Before It's Time

The end result: SCREWED...Oh and my schedule

School is mind-boggling in so many ways. They will ROB YOU BLIND at any chance they get. Today after my Lit class I decided to go pick up the two books I wasn't able to get yesterday off campus and one used NOVEL...not even a text book....and USED....cost me $15. That's insane!!! I shouldn't have to pay more than 7 or 8 bucks for that. I was BARELY able to get all the books I needed for the semester with the $400 dollars I was given by the 'rents, and actually, I still have 2 more of those horrid novels to pick up.

Early forecast for the semester predicts LOTS of reading. About 400 pages a week or about a novel and a half a week to do collectively. That isn't going to be fun considering I'm one of those readers that can read for about 45 minutes before I get REALLY sleepy and doze off. This happens regardless of the time of day. The class I'm most excited about is my Introduction to Film Study (FST 203) class. In my 201 class last semester we focused on learning the techniques of making a film. This class is totally focused on learning how to look at, read, and interpret films, rather than just watching them. Sure we may love or hate movies but why? What is there that makes us a participant in a film? I can't wait to dive in and become a real film freak. Not to mention that this will bring me one step closer to declaring my official major in film next fall.
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

So here is a rough outline of my schedule for the semester:

MONDAY
10 AM......................Global History until 10:50
1 PM........................Film Lecture and Screening until 4:30 (bleigh)

TUESDAY
9:30 AM..................Baby Math (101) until 10:45
11:00 AM................Intro to Lit until 12:15

WEDNESDAY
10 AM.....................Global History until 10:50
2:30 PM..................FST "Lab" (small group) until 3:45

THURSDAY
9:30 AM.................MAT-101 until 10:45
11:00 AM.....................Literature until 12:15
5:00 PM.......................Intro to Psych until 7:45 (7:30)....((BLEIGH BLEIGH))

FRIDAY
10:00 AM....................Global History until 10:50
10:51 AM....................WEEKEND STARTS

So there it is, without all the club meetings included. That's what I'm doing and wowzers...thatsa lotta work!

Scratch and sniff bandages were a bad idea...
