ugh so many decisions to make for the summer
i only need to take one science class to graduate (it is literally the only thing keeping me from graduating…well no, i take that back, i need to take my art history capstone course) and absolutely none of them are offered during the time that i have free. i can’t do the first five week session because my family always goes on vacation the first week of July, which is consequently when that session ends, and NOTHING is offered during the second five week, bizarrely. also; nothing is offered during the first three week session either (which sucks balls because you’ve class every day for three hours, but you get it done and out of the way quickly. i just wanted to kill myself in the one class i took…).
there are several art history options in that i could take a independent reading/research course guided by a teacher who would give me the materials that i would work on during my own time. this would only take three weeks, so it seems like a valid option, yet, the teacher that i would want to advise has said she thinks the independent courses (during the year) just cause a lot of undue stress and frustration, but perhaps during the summer it would be okay? I wouldn’t want to do it with any other professors either because she specializes in the period that i find the most appealing and i haven’t any interest in the others….well, any interest that i would like to do an in depth research paper over.
another option is a internship at the local art museum, which would be okay, since i’m already fairly involved there. however, as much as i would like to go out of town i cannot, as i just got promoted to a new position at work and there is no way i could just leave them threeish months into the new job. if the internship was prestigious enough, or in an area that i really liked, i’d probably do it, and just say ‘screw you’ to my work (well, not really like that but you get the picture) and take it.
i could always take another religious studies course, even though my major is finished, and i plan on it, but my favorite professor is not teaching during the summer.
ugh. and i haven’t even started to think about grad school yet. i have, but not really genuinely.
poop.
