Just found out that I'm receiving an "A" in both of my "hard" classes--French and 16th Century Counterpoint. Blessed relief!
Mary must graduate this June, or risk going insane. To that end, I'm fulfilling a requirement by taking a class that meets four hours a day for two weeks, starting on Monday. Yee ha! No rest for the weary. But then it will be done.
During Winter, I'm forced to take another class to fulfill a requirement -- Communication Science 101. I'm nearly half a century old; do I really need it? Perhaps the department gods will waive the requirement and give me credit for life experience.
Congratulations again. After graduation in June, will that be all? Or do you plan more coursework/degrees etc. in the future?
ReplyDeleteCommunication Science 101 !?!
Happy (US) Thanksgiving to all.
And thanks again, TH2. Although Organ Teacher is encouraging me to continue with the Master's program, I will instead stay home to continue schooling the younger kids and to allow Oldest Boy to take college classes.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally I am going to study/practice for an American Guild of Organists certification test next year.
I'm irritated about the COMS 101 class, because it conflicts with the choir class on Tuesdays. The choir instructor is being very understanding, though.
I didn't realize that Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in October. Sorry I missed it.
Congratulations Mary!
ReplyDeleteAnd many prayers for the AGO certification! I was planning on doing the same this year - until the "Liturgy" side of my job (ARUGAHG) took over.
Also, my sympathies on COMS 101. It really is the most useless class ever. Hands down. If my memory serves me well, the vast majority of instruction time was devoted to speeches about topics such as "Halloween" and "Video games." Of course, this was when class wasn't being hijacked by my insolent American counterparts making rude comments about the Pakistani professor.
Anna, let me know if you plan to do the AGO certification. A group of us (I think) is going for the SVC and the CAGO.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm taking Anthropology 101, and tomorrow we're talking about Gender and Sexuality. Four and a half hours talking about that subject may force me into tasking drastic measures. Would anyone look sideways at a flask in class?
I was planning to talk to Person In Charge about straightening out my record so that I can graduate, but guess what?! He doesn't work over break. Guess I shoulda followed up with him over a month ago when he didn't answer my email query.
COMS 101: now I'm REALLY looking forward to it. :-0
