Just Finished Exams

Is it bad that I am already excited for my spring courses? They aren't even degree requirements really; they are options I WANTED to take. Ever since I heard about Game Theory and Strategical Thinking in economics I was all over it. Seems like the perfect class for a person who plays video and board games half the time. Of course it isn't all about games like that, it's political, economic and diplomatic situations as well. The textbook even goes through an example concerning relationships. All really quite fascinating. That and I'm a huge geek. So now that I have confirmed my geekiness (and the fact that I'm overly proud of it), it is time to talk about my other spring course: Visual Communications. I signed up for this class because I liked the textbook. It was pretty...and really random. If the prof asks the class why we are taking the course, I will actually say that too. The book "The Art of Looking Sideways" is a random collection of...STUFF. It's like picking up a stack of papers with everything from your history notes to your racey magazines to your pathetic attempt at drawing a horse, and having it bound together and sold off the shelves for a ridiculous price (well not so ridiculous compared to my Game Theory text books...). I think it's absolutely fantastic. So the History/English major who desperately needs to take course requirements and who is continually having their GPA brought down by options...is taking an economics and communications course...which are both options. And I wonder why I'm so confused and lost all the time. I think there's a section of my brain that's constantly working to torture the other sections while they run around in circles trying to figure out what's poking it. Yeah I'm going to go play some more Fire Emblem now.
