First Week at University!


It's me again....I'm here at University waiting for my class to start.  I wanted to give you all an update of my first week at University. 

Frankly, it's been....Super Great!  All my profs are men, except of course my Women's Studies.  Here's the run down of each class.

Art History.....prof seems very nice, it'll be intense reading and note taking, but the great thing about it will be that it covers my favorite era of art history 1800 - 1940's.  Impressionism is my ultimate favorite, and getting a refresher course about my favorite artists won't be too bad.

Anthropology.....prof seems really nice, a bit of a rambling speaker, but nice nonetheless.  I have 3  textbooks for this one and to tell you the truth...I think its all a bunch of bunk.  I don't really see the purpose in going to the outer stretches of the earth and learning about other cultures.  It's great if you're interested and want to put your findings on "The Nature of Things", but as every day life, I'm just trying to live in it the best I can.

Art 2031 (Object & Space 3-D) .....the prof is really nice.  Looks like an interesting class.  We'll get to do casting and working with mix media, found objects alot.  Two of the items that are required for this class is 3 tubes of silicon, and 200 feet of saran wrap.  Yeah...that's what I said....huh???  I'm looking forward to this one.

Art 2032 (Drawing 2-D) ....the prof, once again, is very nice.  He also likes to ramble, but I think he really wants us to experience the world around us to the fullest.  Our first project is making our own pin hole camera.  I'm really looking forward to this class as well.

Women's Studies 1000....the prof is from the Philippians, and is very comical and straight forward.  I'm really enjoying the text and readings.  Our first essay is due Sept. 29th, and the topic is to choose a woman who has made a difference in Canadian society.  I've chosen Agnes Macphail.  The first women to be elected to the Canadian Parliament.  She helped improve conditions in Canadian penitentiaries, among other noble things.  I'm looking forward to getting into this class as well.

So that is my week in a nut shell....I'll post pics from home.  I can't do it from here.  Catch ya later!!!
