Life Is Fun

So I just finished my Linguistics Winter class on Friday. Winter classes are fun because you go to class longer each day, but for a shorter amount of time overall. The teacher has to cram a bunch of knowledge into your brain (or tell you to do it yourself) and generally everyone's a bit more frazzled.

Today would be the first day of Arabic 106 (Intermediate Arabic), except that any classes before 4pm are not in session. I have no idea why they do that on the first day of class, but I like it. I feel bad for the students whose classes are after 4, but I'm not one of them, so I'm not that worried.

Meanwhile, work has picked up again to where I'm earning decent money. A few contractors got let go, so there's more work to go around. I think the manager wanted to make sure she kept the good contractors, and in order to do that had to make sure to have some work in queue for us. I'll say this: It's nice to have put in a full days work before 11 AM. I don't think I could do that with any other job unless I started working before 9.

Social life has gotten busier too. With the addition of meetup.com to my life I've started finding some really cool things to do around here. The game night last night was a potluck dinner with lots of people at a really cool location. The next thing I want to do is go with the Adventure Group to one of their outings; they cost a lot of money, but they're usually something cool like learning how to ride a Harley, or how to make sushi. Diverse, and cool. Then there's the musician group, and the roleplaying group, and then, and then, and then.....

Things are good.

Now that I'm done with work, it's time to start cleaning the house.

My day just went from "AWESOME" to "Man, that sucks."

Not really. I'm in a great mood! Today rocks!

Today I'm taking Arabic. I'll be taking it for 12 more weeks. I'll learn to speak what bits of the language I can, and I will try to retain the knowledge until Spring semester, when UD offers the next step up. I could jump to class 3 for Arabic, except that it's being held in Tunisia.

So in the Winter, I have a chance to take some class that has nothing to do with The Big Plan. I'm thinking that since I've had this great idea for a webcomic in mind for a while, I should take something like Drawing 101. To me, that sounds enjoyable, even though I suck at art.

If you could take any kind of class, just for fun, and absolutely free as long as you got a B- or better, what class would you take?
