If I ever
questioned where my tuition money was going, it was answered this morning. I
waited on the corner of 79 New Montgomery, in the foggy misty morning of the
lovely San Francisco, for the “Hayes Express” to take me to the undergraduate
registration building. The short white bus, marked clearly with Academy of Art
logos and print, stopped in front of me. I approached the vehicle, entered, and
sat down in the middle row next to the window. The driver switched shifts and
we were off toward my destination. I was personally driven on my own short bus.
I felt like a movie star as we rushed around traffic in the busy city. Everyone
questioning who was on that short bus!
All right, I am
being a bit dramatic, but I did feel special. Moral of the story is that I am
now registered for spring semester and I am incredibly excited about it. First
of all, all of my credits from the University of Utah and Firenze Arti Visve
transferred! I saved two semesters worth of classes and money. For being told
that none of my credits would transfer from either school – this was an
exciting surprise.
My classes for
next year are:
Photoshop
for photographers
Quality
of Light
Visualization
Written
Communications of Art
Monday through
Wednesday are 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. classes and the Thursday is 12:00 to 3:00 p.m.
- exactly what I wanted.
The professors
all have really good recommends. One is my favorite professor from this
semester. He teaches very limited amount of classes and I never thought that I
would get another opportunity to work with him. Another one was described as someone
who is hard, pushes beyond the recommended course, and makes students work
outside of their comfort zones. Mrs. Garcia (my personal representative) said, “He
isn’t an easy class.” I just looked at her shocked that she would even question
this and said, “I don’t want easy.” Turns out I am one of the few who wants a
challenge because currently I am the only one registered for his class.
Interesting, eh?
My morning was
productive and made me excited for my future education. : ) Also, I found this
quote that I simply fell in love with and find the desperate need to share it
with it:
"to be modern is to find ourselves
in an environment that promises us adventure, power, joy, growth,
transformation of ourselves and the world - and, at the same time, that
threatens to destroy everything we have, everything we know, everything we
are." _ Marshall Berman
Have a great Friday!
