My Life = School

I should be sleeping, but my brain won’t let me. It’s frustrating, because right now is when I need sleep the most.

So, I rode a bike again. It was AWESOME. It was only for about 10 minutes, in circles, in red square, really slowly, but I am still giddy about it, and am trying to build up my legs so I could potentially go on a real bike ride soon! I also have a killer cane now, and can walk quite a bit faster.

I recently applied for a second major in Art History. I don’t really know where I am going with it, but it seems like fun, will keep me in one place for another 6 months or so, and is doable. I actually got the okay from my adviser, when I was convinced she would tell me that it was a silly idea. I am hoping to really tie Film Studies and Art together, and I think with the help from an English Professor into art, and an Art History Professor into film, that it should work out pretty well.

I am currently writing a pretty big essay about Tim Burton and his relationship to German Expressionism. In the essay I end up talking about the Gothic and the sublime, as well as Goya… Which my Professor was actually into, he told me to add some images of paintings, and go a little more in depth. So it’s already working out really well. =D

I recently signed up for classes, and am incredibly excited. I am taking Trash Cinema, Culture and Politics of Desire, and Installation Art. Trash Cinema is about the aesthetics and appeal of cult films (among other things), Culture and Politics of Desire is about Cyber Culture and the visual culture associated with that, and then of course Installation Art is Installation art. I am hoping to do some video work for it. We shall see how that goes.

Anyway, while most of you readers already know all of this stuff, I just thought I would share my excitement, again. Because I am sleepy. And that is what I do.
