First week of class, last semester of undergraduate school, and maybe all school, ever! Happy and sad. But I kicked it off with a cool U2 i-Pod - Thanks Mom and Dad!!!!!!!

I'm taking 12 hours. I only need 6 to graduate, so I picked fun classes outside of the two marketing. Well, there is the "wrap-up" marketing course, which is complete with my favorite college professor, who I had for international marketing. I arrived a little late on the first day (oops...) and he saved me a seat front and center in the classroom. Fun and funny class. I am also taking sales 2. But my fun classes are Music for Non Music Majors. I will learn scales and rythms and musical patterns by eye on sheet music. I hope I can apply it to begin my own music writing process. Also am taking the history of fashion since 1900, which is about how people change the way they have dressed and why. So it's a more historic class. My buddy Amy Dykes is teaching the class. The research in there will be fun. So, should be a straight A semester, and I am very excited but I do not want it to go by quickly. PLUS, now I will be able to listen to my music on my long walks between classes! celebrate!

I will have my personal review of the i-pod up soon. i haven't gotten to use it much though because it took a long time to first charge the i-pod, and then load the songs (2,000) onto the i-pod - about five hours. But so far it sounds great (nice earbuds! I can hear so much more in the songs!) and has fun games, including a music quiz where you guess which song is playing in the shortest amount of time possible.
