I am less than half through the fall semester and I am already building quite an extended schedule for Spring 2008 for myself. I have a maximum of 18 hours available at each of my schools (54 total), but a personal educational threshold per semester of about 21 - 24 hours.
Currently I want to do the following in Spring:
- Photo Media 1 [ARTT2191] (UNCC)
- Introduction to ROTC [MSCI1101] (UNCC)
- Creative Writing 2 [ENG126] (CPCC)
- Drawing 2 [ART132] or Figure Drawing [ART135] (Gaston)
- Computer Art 1 [ART171] (Gaston)
Thats about 13 hours by itself, not including the 12 or so I will need to do at UNCC towards my actual degree (including some ceramics and art history for my minor). I know I can't take all of the courses, so I will have to prioritize and figure out the best options.
Today on campus I observed one of the military science lab courses (ROTC Cadets at drill/instructional practice) on the field in front of Cato Hall. I watched them for several minutes and analyzed their behavior, attempting to figure out what it is that intrigues me about military guys, and I found it... the pure precision of execution of movement, as well as their ability to still seem human while doing it. It is likely that because of the way my life is, I will not ever get a chance to have military experience. It is because of this that the Military Science/ROTC courses have always intrigued me. I believe that it would be very beneficial to me to take the introductory course, if for no other reason, just to get some leadership experience.

I'm looking at the following course pair to satisfy my curiosity:
MSCI 1101. Introduction to ROTC. (1) Preprofessional corequisite: MSCI 1101L. Introduction to ROTC and the U.S. Army including the rationale of the national defense structure and the mission and the role of the Army. Participation in the physical fitness program is optional. (Fall, Spring)
MSCI 1101L. Introduction to ROTC. (0) Leadership lab. Practical application of the material learned in the corequisite course. (Fall, Spring)

A few of my drawing works have been scanned. They are a bit too big for the scanner bed, so they will appear with lines where they have been patched together.

Lately I've been noticing a trend among colleges and universities in my area, all of them have a tall building that chimes, sings, or otherwise indicates time.

In the absence of other exciting news in my life, I am happy to announce that last Wednesday, September 12, 2007, I completed the requirements of the American Heart Association to become First Aid certified. So, there is my big news for the month, I am licensed to use band-aides.
