This is homework. No really.

tj_dragonblade#1 - This quarter, I've tackled one of my GenEd courses, and I inadvertently ended up with one that's going to be a lot more fun than I thought. In fact, it's probably going to be one of the most enjoyable courses on the GenEd curriculum. I was expecting something called Written Communication at a highly career-tracked school to have more of a focus on business-oriented writing, memos and professionalism in emails and what-not, but it's really just a very broad-spectrum guide-to-writing-in-general sort of thing. So yes, I'm taking a class on the basics of what I do for fun. How awesome is that?? I am fielding arguments from family members on the order of 'What does that have to do with working on computers?' and even though the answer is 'Nothing directly, really' the fact remains that I don't get the degree without taking this course and, as General Education requirements go, it could really be so much worse. It could be Oral Communication. Yeah. That's the class I'm really dreading. -_-;
#3 - I need to take up a foreign language class, just for fun, once I've gotten through the career schooling. I'm sure somebody somewhere around town offers something. I'd like to go back to German and build on the course I took senior year, or get a formal foundation in Japanese to go with all the random disconnected knowledge I absorb from fandom. I'd even be happy picking French up again, really, though my zeal for it is not what it was when I took those two years back in high school. I find that I rather miss it, these days. I've always felt that I do better in a formal classroom than with self-instruction, but I suppose I could also go the Rosetta Stone route; AJ always talks about how we should get that, he and I, every time the commercial comes on TV. It would be fully awesome to learn Japanese together with my kid. Good one-on-one parental bonding, and all that. Which is a legitimate issue, given all the time I spend at work and at school. Ahaha. ^_^;
Part of the homework for the Friday-night writing class is keeping a journal. Pfft. Like that's hard, 'cept it's meant to be two entries per week which is an increase in journally production for me. So you-all get the entries I write for that over the course of the quarter. This is me catching up. Skipped numbers are existing LJ entries that I recycled for the school assignment. ^_^
