Anyway, school...YAY SCHOOL OMGOMGOMGOMG!!! I love school. I love my classes. I don't care that I have to be up at 7:30 for my Topics for Comp. class. It's basically Greek Mythology all over again (which I took a class in back in Valencia Comm College). Well, how about we start off with a list, yes?
Color Application: 1-5 pm on Wednesdays.
Basic color theory stuff like that. Using a color wheel for different combinations of paints, how to mix paints for certain hue's and tints, etc.
Computer Science: 6-10 Wednesdays
Though this may change as I might have to take the MAC version of this class because I'm an illustration student. Currently I'm enrolled in the PC version of this class, with that said. I'M GOING TO DIE IN THIS CLASS. I'm serious. I want to test out of this class. "This is the start button. This gives you your main menu. This is Microsoft word. If you hit the letter A, an A will appear on the screen."
...
I'VE BEEN USING THESE PROGRAMS SINCE I WAS 8, I DON'T NEED THIS!!!!
that being said, I'm surprised how many people in my class don't know how to use these things. We are gonna be taught Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I already know Word and PowerPoint (I know more about them than what she plans on teaching us in class.) Excel, I know the basics of making a spreadsheet which is also apparently all she is gong to teach us in it (so says the class syllabus). BUT, even though I know everything, It will be an easy A. I just have to take the tests. Though testing out of it seems like a good idea to me. I'll have to look into that more later(the school is closed for easter weekend).
Topics for Composition: 9-12 Thursdays
Okay, this class is in the same room as my Sociology class, so it already had good vibes when i walked in. Then the teacher walked in. Little short indian woman named Mrs. Choksi. What is it with this room having awesome classes taught by short immigrated women? First Sociology with Ruedger (Came from Germany) and now Mrs. Choksi! Not to mention this isn't a normal English class. Rather than just writing and writing and writing like the other topics for comp classes do, we will be studying Greek mythology (which if you know me, you know I LOVE ancient civilizations, Greek and Egyptian being my favorites) and writing about our favorite myth (YAY Persephone and Hades!). So we will be studying the human emotion through the myths, writing about the myths, talking about the myths, see where I'm going now? MYTHBUSTERS TIME. Only not really. I wish it were.
Concept Development: 1-5 Thursdays
Haha, this class makes me laugh.
First day of class
"You all will be drawing everyday for my class."
Pfft, i do that everyday! We have to have a small object with us and do a drawing of it everyday, different angles, asking "what if..." and drawing that (Ex: What if it were burnt? What if it were made of water? What if it were president? Just think of silly things) I think I will be using the little wolverine bobble head PJ gave me for my birthday a while back. It's simple in shapes and colors and easy to draw and distort. Again, an easy A class.
Other than that, FRIENDS.
Oh
my
Lord...
I didn't think there were other loud, obnoxious, cursing-like-a-sailor internet junkies out there. Apparently they all go to THIS SCHOOL. They are awesome, simply no words. There are few people I have clicked with right away in orlando, the people who I felt like I had known them my whole life after five minutes. Jeni and Joe being the only people from orlando I can think of who fit that bill. Here, there's Randy, Sarina, Ray, Jorge (pronounced Georgie), The Beetle, Lily, Amanda, Lisa and Leah. I could go on. These people, while not all close friends (not yet at least) I was joking around with within 10 minutes of knowing them, being myself and not being given weird looks for it. That is an amazing feeling, to just click with someone, instantly. I've never had it happen on such a large scale before. Again, very cool. I'm also part of the Anime club (who didn't see THAT coming?) and the GSA (Gay Straight Alliance). Lots of fun school stuff to do with those clubs. I want to be an RA. SO BAD. 300+ every two weeks (more than what I was making at the bowling alley), no rent (free dorms), fun activities (get to plan them, I love doing that) among other things. It seems fun and hey, it's a job!
Speaking of which, NO ONE is hiring down here! I've been job hunting online, canvassing to different stores, no one. I'm so tempted to just go back to the bowling alley because IT'S A JOB. I need income like nobody's business. I know I'll find one, I just hate this helpless feeling.
Anyway, all in all, I love school, love my friends, need a job and miss all my Orlando/Melbourne people. I'll be back up your guys way eventually. Love you all! ^^

Hey Honey! So happy for you! You'll find a job, but thank God everything else is GREAT!! I'm glad you love school and dorm life. Don't give in to the bowling alley too soon... keep looking if you can and hopefully something better (and healthier) will pop up. What is an RA.? and do tell about the Gay/straight alliance? What do you do with that?
Keep having fun and keep learning! I love you!
p.s. I took a plein air painting workshop last week in Avon Park... check it out. www.joyceshelton.typepad.com
