- Advanced Composition (only Mon. and Wed)
Thurs - Fri

- Old Testament Studies
Creative Writing focuses on short stories. It is the most amazingly, creative, mind exhausting class I've had here. Writing creatively in general is great. This may be the writing nerd in me, but I love creating characters and their different worlds. As a bonus, if you take a class with Dr. Johnston, you can never go wrong
Film Studies with Vrooman.... that is one seriously tripped up journey. Not that it's bad, because honestly there is never a dull moment. It's just that sometimes it may be terrifying to never have a predictable day. For the most part though I'm enjoying the laughs and what I'm learning. By the way women with direction means we are focusing on women directors and the question of feminism/ how women are portrayed in film. We watch movies specifically directed by women and also learn the techniques used in film-making. On a smaller note, it would be awesome to take a class with Vrooman again if I could
Advanced Composition really uses up a lot of my brainpower. I live for creating mind blowing academic papers, but we've only done one so far and I'm ready for a long break. We'll create blogs that have to sort of be related to our major sometime soon - that seems like fun, but who knows
Sculpture........ I don't get why my hands won't do what my brain is telling it to do. I love art and creating. Yet, my projects aren't coming out as I envision them. So, it is sort of a let down.
Professor Foster is interesting. I like learning about scholarly opinions of the bible, and reading the old testament. So, overall I'm glad to be in this class.
So, this is what I am doing for the rest of this semester. I hope that I will actually be able to blog at a consistent pace. So with fingers crossed and a short prayer, here's hoping.
