Picking Fall 2004 Classes
Wow, hard to believe it's that time again. I'm really starting to get an acute sense that every class I pick is a precious one because I have so few left. I am trying to figure out what I will kick myself for not taking after I leave school. But, even with two years, there is not enough time to take everything you want. Things get in the way or the schedule is wrong or the class is only taught one semester a year--at the same time as a required class.

This fall, there's two classes I need to take: Thesis Paper and Thesis Project. Those are givens. And I am desperate for a typography class, so I think Graduate Typography is a must. Which leaves me with only one full-time class or two mini (half-semester) classes to take. There's an interesting variety to choose from: Designing for Service, Conceptual Models, Intro to Entertainment Technology, Intro to Sound Design, Visualizing Stories, Design History, and Adaptive Worlds. Just to name a few. I could probably take all of these and learn a lot. But I can't, so I need to figure out what I need to know before I go, what I won't be able to (easily) learn on my own.

Decisions, decisions...
