So that post I wrote awhile ago about being part-time for the rest of my college years and knowing exactly what I had to take? Scratch that out.

Upon closer inspection of my course book and a couple emails to my advisor, I realized that I needed 5 more classes than I thought: 3 art electives and 2 art history electives. So this semester (which starts in 8 days ) will not only turn into full time, but I’ll be taking 15 credits (my past few semesters have totaled 12) plus portfolio review (again). Combine that with work and I’ll be amazed if I don’t keel over and die a few weeks in. Here’s my new schedule:

ART 389: Book Design (MW 8 - 10:30 am)
ART 430: Far Eastern Art (MW 11:15 am - 12:30 pm)
ART 380: Seminar in Aesthetics (TTh 9:30 - 10:45 am)
ART 360: Figure Drawing (TTh 1:30 - 5 pm)
ART 303: History of Design (TTh 5 - 6:30 pm)
GRPH 250: Portfolio Review (?)

I just hope I can make it from Figure Drawing to History of Design in time. The buildings are about a 5-minute walk apart, and studio classes usually end early to give time to clean up. Szmagaj (the figure drawing professor … pronounced Sma-gee) is pretty cool, so I should be good to go after talking to him the first day of class. Besides, after sitting there staring at a naked model for 3 1/2 hours (the longest studio class at JMU), leaving early will definitely be on my to-do list
