Alright, I relent. A post about school.

In conversation with work friend Marcia, I told her I had decided to take the Fall semester off, because all the classes I needed were full. She approved, but asked if I had filed a declaration of absence for the coming semester. I had not. And more than that, had no idea you have to.

She explained that you can't just not go. This was hard news for me. I love just not going. (Let's just not, and say we did. Can't I just NOT go to work/class/the doctor?)

So I decided to take one class, also considering the ASU blog Lori might let me do. If I do the blog and am not currently in school, I'd feel like a hypocrite.

I dialed up the course catalog, looking for at least one course to take. Turns out, all the ones I had needed were now open.

So cue instant dilemma. I was really looking forward to a little break from school, what with my life and crazy busy schedule slowly driving me insane. Also, I was planning a week-long trip to Houston to visit my family. Really, quite excited to do that.

But (as I would explain to my grandmother later in the week) I don't take breaks very well. So I enrolled for the following classes:

JMC394*- Multimedia Reporting
JMC465 - Precision Journalism
JMC425 - Online Media
POS315 - The Supreme Court

* I'm not officially in this yet, I need to get instructor approval from the school first.

So that's my fall. The hours aren't to crazy, either, and I've sent my bosses two mock schedules to play with. One with Saturday and Sunday off (::hopes::) and one with Tuesday and Saturday off.

I have a game plan, now, and I'll be done with school in Spring of '08. (You're excited, I can tell)

Hasta luego, con amor y gatitos.
