That's probably due to a couple of things. 1.) I am so fricking busy my head spins. I don't necessarily MIND being busy, but I do find myself valuing my down time more and more as it becomes less and less. 2.) My computer was DOA for several days. Over-exuberant dog can be blamed for that. Fortunately the only real casualty was the power cord. The battery had been kaput for a long time so we ran the laptop plugged in. Well, that's fine and dandy as long as the power cord is functional. We ordered one AND a new battery and now I'm good to go. Back online is good. Only so much I can do with my phone.
School is going well so far. Classes are not difficult and are actually, for the most part, interesting. I strongly dislike my Organizational Communication course and question it's validity in the Comm program. A more appropriate course title would probably be "Corporations Suck". It's really all about the different ways organizations approach communication and the myriad of theories on why they are good/bad. Well, I have news for you people. They're mostly bad. This would be a great class for anyone pursuing a business degree since this all applies to large businesses. Small businesses tend to operate on a more interpersonal communication scale and thus, this course is sort of pointless for them as well. For all these reasons, I would rather not be required to take this class. I'll survive it though, and move on.
Psych of Victims is my favorite course. Lots of fantastic information here. I like the teacher and I love the small class size. I also like meeting at Clayton High School since parking is beautiful, lol. I've settled into a stop for dinner, stop for starbucks, absorb info, easy drive home routine that I actually look forward to.
Criminology is a fascinating subject that I am looking forward to learning much more about. However, I don't think there is much in the way of career choices for Crim degrees. Fortunately for me I'm combining it with communication and thus not really going into the Crim field, per se. It will open up some opportunities and make me more marketable.
Intercultural Comm is sort of just there. I don't love or hate it. It just is. It seems sort of "duh" as far as subject matter goes but I think that's mostly because I've lived longer than most of the people in the course. It's a sort of life-experience course. I think this course should be required before studying abroad.
OH! I almost forgot! I got a new camera! I got a Pentax K-x in white. It's name is Stormy because it looks like a stormtrooper. Yes I think I am very clever for coming up with that. No, not all people name their cameras. Yes, I am weird. I want to post separately about it so that the google-bots are sure to alert the owner of Creve Coeur Camera of my extreme satisfaction with his company. Also be on the lookout for a gazoodle of pictures.
