It's All About the Benjamins

Jump to Comments Well, I guess I’m ready to go back to college. Not that I’m somehow looking forward to another several months away from my native habitat (or my house, for that matter), but because I’m so undescribeably bored. So bored, I’m czeching my email every five minutes eventhough I know no-one ever writes me email. Ever. I’ve even hit a wall in what looked like an endless source of diversion: Mayer-related downloading. There’s just nothing left to download.

I’ve got a haircut appointment tomorrow at 3:30, I’m tutoring an artist down in Broad Ripple on digital cameras/photoshopLE on Wednesday at 2:00, Church that evening and hopefully the traditional Starbucksing to follow. On Saturday it looks like the fam and I will be kicking it up to Northern Indiana for a while. I’ll probably have another tutoring session next week sometime, and Frau told my parents that she wanted me to visit her at school sometime when it starts again, so I’ll have to do that and see all my favorite teachers, and et MSG to tell me how to sign up for absentee voting, since I’m sure she knows how.

After that, it’s back to Harding on the twenty-twoond. Here’s my tentative class schedule (all times Central):

0945 M W F BYFE 234 MCIN  233 IRELAND
0945  T R  HNRS 204 REYN C219 GARNER
1045 M W F FR-H 201 GANB  111 MCCREADY
1110  T R  SOCS 301 GANB  125 ELROD
1300 M W F HIST 102 GANB  201 KLEIN
1400 M W F SPAN 315 GANB  112 CONLEY

My Tuesday/Thursday classes are long-session ones, which kind of balances out the load, though I still get the afternoons off, as Global Issues / Elrod’s Witty Banter gets out at 12:25. Everything’s three credit hours except BYFE 234, the only lower-level theology course that I could fit in my schedule, so that’s like 17 hours, per usual.

In case you’re wondering what the heck BYFE 234 is, I’ve forgotten what the course title is, and don’t have access at that information right now. Though, judging by the acronym, it’s probably not a textual study class, so, gag. Oh wells.

Also, a whopping four of my six classes are in the Gayness Ganus building, which is too bad. The Ganus building sits to the west of the old Administration Auditorium building. On the east side of the Admin is the Ezell, which I don’t have any classes in this year. These two buildings are basically total opposites– the Ezell is spacious, bright, open, has huge banks of windows, and has only seen some minor remodeling over the years (newer air handling and downsizing one massive lecture hall into two still fairly large ones), whereas the Ganus is small, crowded, dark, has about as many windows as the old Zionsville Middle School did (<20), and has been the victim of several short-sighted remodeling projects over the years, making the innards lose most all the aesthetics that it may have once had. No matter, though, since McCready and Conley and Elrod are excellent, and I've heard Klein is too.
