Where'd the cheese go?

So, first week stuff.

Art 14 (print) is off to sort of a slow start. The first project is a linoleum carving which is something I haven't done before, so it's a little weird. After that I believe it's going to be all digital, and I like the sound of that. Also, according to the syllabus, during week eight there is a "laser and Phaser demo" scheduled. Yes. Not only laser, but also Phaser. I will probably be disappointed, but I am excited nonetheless. Phaser is definitely somewhere among the top ten coolest words.

History 17C was horrible and a writing class in disguise, so it got DROPPED.

If the first 20 or so pages of reading for black studies 5 is any indication, then it will be the most boring class I have ever taken. Also, the professor randomly decided not to have class the first week, because he doesn't like to, or something like that. On the upside, the class does take care of many, many GE requirements. That means less time spent in classes like Xtreme French Holocaust. In fact, I just discovered today that black studies 5 fulfills so many GE requirements that it makes my intro ethics class completely pointless. That's nice, because EMBAR is sleepy and the professor likes to say weird things. Like, "Hooray for killing!"

So, I've ended up with a 12-unit quarter, again. It's sort of consoling that I'm dropping the one course because I don't need it, but I still feel like a slacker. Hmm.
