My last classes

Overall my last semester of classes at Oxy seem like they make a pretty good schedule. By now I’ve had the first round of each of these, and since two of them are only one day a week, I’m mostly done until next Monday. That’s always a good sign.

My principles of journalism class looks to be the hardest of the bunch. The professor makes a point of being an intimidating presence, and the syllabus loudly declares that he is “on a crusade against the scourge of grade inflation.” This basically means that I’m not getting a 4.0 in college, but I wasn’t really counting on that anyway.

Despite the daunting workload, however, the class looks to be something that will really help me out in my writing. I’m going to be doing a lot of writing this semester.

My screenwriting class (see! more writing) is straight up fun. The people in the class are good friends and the professor seems to know what she’s doing. Again, it’s going to be more work than I was hoping for (I just spent a few hours this afternoon doing the HW), but it should really help me write better.

Finally—blogging. Yes, I’m taking a class on blogging. So you’ll be noticing a new category on this blog which I’ve unoriginally coined “social web.” That category is going to be devoted to the required musings for my blogging class.
