I am now registered for the Fall at MCC. 13 credits to start, but I may see if I can cross register to take Japanese I at U of R. Thing is, after so long of not being in school, even a 13 credit week is looking sooooo full. At least one of the classes is Career and Life Planning, and another is Stress Management.

I'm actually taking Photography I. It's neat - thanks to dawnstar we explored a lot of campus, including where all my classes will be. The photography class I chose is over near all the optics labs and heavily technical stuff. I'm certainly interested how the class will differ from the more art-based "Media Photography I" class that they have there. Then again, the different approach might set me loose on a whole different field of interest. Who knows?

I'm also taking an introductory graphic design class to see if I wouldn't mind heading in the visual communication direction. Since the Asian history and literature classes were either not offered this semester or not at an appropriate time, I got in a History of Reincarnation class. That should be interesting. I've taken a lot of world religions and philosophy classes, but never one with so narrow a topic.

Anyhow, it was definitely a plus getting to meet some folks in the Career Center, and getting to know my way around a little bit. Leave it to me to gravitate toward the Art building in my head even though it was Aidan who proclaimed that we ought to go see building 12. I have a feeling I may not be able to escape that side of me. That, or I just feel a kinship with that part of any college campus since I've taken so many art classes myself. Then again, I remember finding my way towards Tyler Hall at Oswego even when I was just hoping to gain access to the piano practice rooms...

I'm seeing some definite patterns there. The questions are: Can I find some direction in it? Can I narrow it down to working towards a career? This time I want to be really be ready to graduate when I do. I want to be prepared to be employable.
