With 19 credits, it's bound to be adventure this term. Here are the classes I'm signed up for this spring:

ASL 103 - Alas, it will be my last term of American Sign Language with the fabulous Jo Larson. I will be starting the second-year sequence next year with a new teacher. I'm looking forward to getting back into it. Some friends of mine from class and I are thinking about starting our own weekly event where we get together for coffee and sign to each other. It will be a combo of good practice and good times!

PPPM 484 - Financial Management for Nonprofit Organizations. This course is taught by the amazing Laura Leete. I took PPPM 330 with her last year and love her teaching style. We already got an email from her for this class saying that we're going to hit the ground running, so to come to class prepared with a scientific calculator and our textbook.

ART 116 - Basic Design: Fundamentals. Finally, I get to start taking some art classes! This is the beginning of my art minor that I'm hoping to pull off in four terms. Wish me luck.

ART 233 - Drawing. I've never considered myself a very good drawer. I like to paint because I feel like you have more freedom with it. I am very excited to be taking this class in order to work on my drawing skills and learn to conquer my fear of it. The only problem I see with this class is that it is at 8:00am. Wish me luck.

HC 477H - Honors College Thesis Prospectus. This term, I begin my thesis. I am terrified and excited all at the same time. I already have my thesis advisor from my department picked out though - Professor Laura Leete! It looks like we will be seeing a lot of each other this term.

In addition to classes, I'm planning on starting an application for the 2010-2011 Fulbright cycle, applying to be part of the Community Action Advisory Committee for Lane County, and continue working at the elementary school. Oh, and I also plan on living fully and enjoying myself. Here's to spring!
