There's always something so thrilling about class registration (especially when it goes well...)
So far I'm registered for:
1 Screenwriting-- Directing for Screenwriters (which means I can keep my toes in production, yaaaaaay)
2 Screenwriting-- Writing the Sitcom. I had to take one TV class. Eh.
3 Philosophy and the Arts-- Core. Had to take philosophy. Scared.
4 Film-- Women in Film
5 English (elective)-- Chaucer (!!!! an entire class on Chaucer!!!! HURRAH!)
The theology offerings were weak this next semester. Hopefully they will offer that Dante class next Spring. Anyway, I still need to add 2 classes... Irish Cinema and something else, depending on what's available. Sigh.
These past couple of days have seen a strange rise in productivity for me. Sure, there's alot of procrastination going on, but it's the kind of strangely productive procrastination- where you end up doing things you actually needed to do just so you can avoid the one thing you really REALLY should do, but at least something's getting done. I stayed up two nights in a row.... very interesting results. Sure, I was dragging today but I wasn't actively "tired"... and I was pumped.
Good things happened today... films were edited. Finanacial things were straightened out. My check finally came a few days ago! So that was a lovely load off. I got word about places to stay in Ventura...
In order to function in the summer, I still must: get in job app + call CISS, call back ladies about houses, find an internship, register at VC, call the storage people and get my stuff packed and outta here. I was also thinking of applying to work at Firefly again...
summer goals.

I hope I'm not being too much of a prat -- but I'm just wondering if Philosophy of the Arts was the course you HAD to take, or if any philosophy class would do.
If it's the former -- don't be scared. I'm sure you'll be totally brilliant at it.
If it's the latter, and if you're still scared -- I'd recommend taking critical thinking instead. It's like math in that there's always an answer, only it uses words so it's like...cooler than math.
Again, I don't mean to be prat dispensing advice you might not want...but I feel weird not commenting.
The rest of your classes sound fun. :D As for sit coms...new talent is needed because the sit coms of today are just...so...blaaah.
Good luck with the summer! It already sounds more productive than mine. ;)

Oh, Sonja, I just now saw this, haha.
BLAAAAAAAH philosophy. I'm hoping I will be alright at it, I know I'm not stupid, but the fact is I have so rarely studied it, except occasionally on my own, that I am concerned. Blast it, I've never even read Plato, to the best of my memory. Sadly, I pretty much must take this class-- I had a couple to choose from, and this was pretty much the only one that fit that did not have a certifiably insane/slave driver teacher. Plus it kind of applies to my major, which is nice. Ack. We'll see.
New sitcoms SUCK, but I am a sucky comedy writer, for the most part, so unless I come up with some crazay cool idea I'm not thinking it'll be a productive class. Ah well. Oh to be stretched, tis a part of our education and it is good.
