gwendolyngreyI don't want to jinx this semester, but I think it has the potential to be really good. Nothing can really beat last winter semester (oh, figure painting, I do miss you so!)... but I have high hopes for this one.
Does it sound odd that I had a lot of fun this morning in class matching up fonts? I feel rediculously self-satisfied right now in my new knowledge of basic typeface history and the accompanying terminology.
And I KNOW I'm going to be disgusted at myself later, but right now I'll looking forward to the assignments and papers for my Literary Modernism and Medieval Symbolism classes. I'll probably want to swear a blue streak when I actually have to write them and I have a million and one other things to do...but at the moment I'm really excited about the material we'll be covering, and actually doing into depth about them. Part of it is that I want to feel like I'm using my brain again, and I know those classes will make me feel more intelligent. I suppose it's egotistical of me to enjoy feeling smart, and to enjoy a class because it makes me feel smart...but hey. What can you do.
I feel compelled to close this entry with the riveting news that winter has finally and properly caught up to MI. I didn't miss the snow...really. I would have been very happy without the return of the blustery, precipitous, and painfully cold weather we always have. I get so tired of wearing thick tights under my pants with several layers on top and a thick coat that still doesn't manage to block the wind which freezes one's ears off in spite of a warm hat. *sigh* Just have to put in the time until the end of March, I suppose.
