Backpack, Backpack!

August twenty-thirteen is the beginning of a new beginning.
Profound, I know.

Entered into my fifth semester at Herron this past week and I'm absolutely stoked. 

Really! I am!

Moment of the school week via Twitter

(Condensed < 140 characters version):

Walks into class. Late.

Asks professor what class is.

No, that can't be it.

Leaves class...to find out it truly was the right class.

Great.

> 140 characters version:

Signed up for a class titled: "Print Rotating Topics".

So, naturally, I head to that class. 

Upon a late arrival, I entered the classroom to find all students legitimately flipping through pop-up books. Ranging from "Cinderella" to "The Chronicles of Narnia". 

With all eyes on my utterly confused being, I ask the nearly hearing-impaired professor at least a couple times if this class was indeed "Print Rotating Topics". Eventually I received my answer, quite loudly I might add: "PAPER ENGINEERING".

What just happened.

So, to try and play off the awkwardness in my own quirky way, I finger gun the class and cutely say, "Ohhh...wrong class guys..." and with that I quickly fled that room.

After trying to convince the directory staff that I had without a doubt went to the wrong class, they directed to the same room.

Turns out, "Paper Engineering" was the 'Rotating Topic'.

Sweet move, KAT.

After two and a half hours of dealing with unrelenting confusion, class was dismissed and I tracked down my guidance counselor-who I see more times in a semester than is really necessary. I frantically began with, "So, that class I just got out of was a drag and I cannot handle a whole semester of it unless I absolutely have to..." and her response began with a smirk and ended with, "Are you sure you don't want to cut paper all day?". 

I dropped that class faster than I could figure out how to cut my first open box cut.

The class I chose to replace it with was "History of North American Indians". 

On the registrar, all 32 seats were taken but to enhance my concept in my art classes and further my understanding of their culture, I was determined to find a way to take it.

After several phone calls to different departments on campus, I decided to sit in on the class. After class, I went to my guidance counselor...again, and she made a way for me to take it for credit! 

My passion for their culture and people has grown exponentially within the past few months and I am so grateful that I get to take this class!

My schedule is insanely packed like camping bags, but hey!
 I'm working my tushie off for a better tomorrow...at least that's what I tell myself.

This coming weekend: Kyndrick, Stevie, Alexx and I are packing our bags and roughin' in the woods! 

Which means I won't have computer access most likely until early/midweek so next week's blog will be delayed.

We'll see what my packed bags end up looking like...
