:(

this is hard... or rather, bitter sweet.


if you are reading this blog, you are probably a member of this class... which makes me wonder... why are you reading this blog? class is over, sadly, but i have to say this was probably one of my favorite classes at au so far.  i can't get over the atmosphere created in the class by our teacher, nicole melander.  it seems that i am not the only one that loved her teaching style and what she taught; i found out recently that one of my fraternity brothers that recently graduated is creating a class with her for the fall of 2008.  i am definitely excited for that class and hope to be lucky enough to take it.  

i say this experience is bitter sweet for several reasons.  the most obvious, of course, is the fact that i won't be heading over to sis at 11:20 on wednesdays anymore... no awesome middle of the week class to help the week go over the 'bump' easier... i will definitely miss that class... the 'sweet-ness' of the bitter sweet comment is two-fold: one, i learned a lot and developed an interest and a second major :)  the second side of the 'fold' is that i signed up to be her (nicole melander) student again next semester in itec 200... kinda going down in course levels... i am definitely looking forward to that class!

--

on that note (the course levels), this school has disappointed me in regards to its communication program (this class is part of the business program, which i recently became a part of as a double major).  i was taking 300 level classes (and even testing out of one) as a freshman.  this semester, i am taking a graduate level (course level in the 600's) course as well as 400 level courses... 'w' 't' 'f' mate.  not cool.  i am not learning much, not as a fault of the teachers (they are wonderful btw... i highly recommend K "kylos" Brannon for Comm courses dealing with Photoshop and After Effects), but a fault of the school's offerings.  as a result, i am working 35 hours a week at Apple, Inc. in Bethesda as well as starting a Double Major with a Triple specialization (but I might streamline it and reduce it to a double spec).

o well.

i think i might keep up this blog thing.  it is kinda cool to just post to the world not knowing who or what (pets read?) is reading this.

i am excited to go home for a month and see friends and family.  no parties tho, right dad ;)

--

thanks to all reading this, and i plan on re-designing this blog and keeping it going posting daily or weekly or however i feel at the time... probably the latter.

much love to everybody and blog to you soon :)

Proffer,
I believe by the end of the year you should also shoot for:
1) Climbing mount everest
2) Completing a triathalon
3) Becoming a professor at an Ivy League School
4) Finding a cure for AIDS
5) Finally...being promoted to the CEO of Apple
